NAME
----
-zmq_msg_init - initialises empty 0MQ message
+zmq_msg_init - initialise empty 0MQ message
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'int zmq_msg_init (zmq_msg_t *msg);'
+*int zmq_msg_init (zmq_msg_t '*msg');*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Initialises 0MQ message zero bytes long. The function is most useful
-to initialise a 'zmq_msg_t' structure before receiving a message.
+The _zmq_msg_init()_ function shall initialise the message object referenced by
+'msg' to represent an empty message. This function is most useful when called
+before receiving a message with _zmq_recv()_.
+
+CAUTION: Never access 'zmq_msg_t' members directly, instead always use the
+_zmq_msg_ family of functions.
RETURN VALUE
------------
-In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
-sets 'errno' to the appropriate value.
+The _zmq_msg_init()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it
+shall return -1 and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
