// then it will wait forever. If the value is zero, it will just check, and
// return immediately whether a message can be put or not.  Valid returns are
// NNG_ECLOSED if the queue is closed or NNG_ETIMEDOUT if the message cannot
// be placed after a time, or NNG_EAGAIN if the operation cannot succeed
// immediately and a zero timeout is specified.  Note that timeout granularity
