.SH "NAME"
zmq_msg_init_data \- initialise 0MQ message from a supplied buffer
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBtypedef void (zmq_free_fn) (void \fR\fB\fI*data\fR\fR\fB, void \fR\fB\fI*hint\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.sp
\fBint zmq_msg_init_data (zmq_msg_t \fR\fB\fI*msg\fR\fR\fB, void \fR\fB\fI*data\fR\fR\fB, size_t \fR\fB\fIsize\fR\fR\fB, zmq_free_fn \fR\fB\fI*ffn\fR\fR\fB, void \fR\fB\fI*hint\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_msg_init_data()\fR function shall initialise the message object referenced by \fImsg\fR to represent the content referenced by the buffer located at address \fIdata\fR, \fIsize\fR bytes long\&. No copy of \fIdata\fR shall be performed and 0MQ shall take ownership of the supplied buffer\&.
.sp
If provided, the deallocation function \fIffn\fR shall be called once the data buffer is no longer required by 0MQ, with the \fIdata\fR and \fIhint\fR arguments supplied to \fIzmq_msg_init_data()\fR\&.

Never access \fIzmq_msg_t\fR members directly, instead always use the \fIzmq_msg\fR family of functions\&.

.sp
The deallocation function \fIffn\fR needs to be thread\-safe, since it will be called from an arbitrary thread\&.

The functions \fIzmq_msg_init()\fR, \fIzmq_msg_init_data()\fR and \fIzmq_msg_init_size()\fR are mutually exclusive\&. Never initialize the same \fIzmq_msg_t\fR twice\&.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fIzmq_msg_init_data()\fR function shall return zero if successful\&. Otherwise it shall return \-1 and set \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.sp
No errors are defined\&.
