<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>msg_iov</code> is an array of gather items, permitting the message
to be spread into different memory blocks.
There are <code>msg_iovlen</code> elements in this array, each of which
has the base address (<code>iov_base</code>) and length (<code>iov_len</code>) indicated.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For buffers allocated for zero copy
(such as by <a href="nn_allocmsg.3compat.html"><code>nn_allocmsg()</code></a>), the value
of <code>iov_base</code> should be the address of the pointer to the buffer,
rather than the address of the buffer itself.
In this case, the value of <code>iov_len</code> should be <code>NN_MSG</code>,
as the length is inferred from the allocated message.
If the <code>msg_iovlen</code> field is <code>NN_MSG</code>, then this function will free
the associated buffer after it is done with it, if it returns successfully.
(If the function returns with an error, then the caller retains ownership
of the associated buffer and may retry the operation or free the buffer
at its choice.)</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The values of <code>msg_control</code> and <code>msg_controllen</code> describe a buffer
of ancillary data to send the message.
This is currently only useful to provide the message headers
used with <a href="nng.7.html#raw_mode">raw mode</a> sockets.
In all other circumstances these fields should be zero.
Details about this structure are covered in
<a href="nn_cmsg.3compat.html"><code>nn_cmsg(3compat)</code></a>.</p>
