.SH SYNOPSIS
.B int zmq_flush (void *s);
.SH DESCRIPTION
+Flushes all the pre-sent messages - i.e. those that have been sent with
+ZMQ_NOFLUSH flag - to the socket. This functionality improves performance in
+cases where several messages are sent during a single business operation.
+It should not be used as a transaction - ACID properties are not guaranteed.
+Note that calling
+.IR zmq_send
+without ZMQ_NOFLUSH flag automatically flushes all previously pre-sent messages.
.SH RETURN VALUE
+In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
+sets
+.IR errno
+to the appropriate value.
.SH ERRORS
+.IP "\fBENOTSUP\fP"
+function isn't supported by particular socket type.
+.IP "\fBEFSM\fP"
+function cannot be called at the moment, because socket is not in the
+approprite state.
.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+rc = zmq_send (s, &msg1, ZMQ_NOFLUSH);
+assert (rc == 0);
+rc = zmq_send (s, &msg2, ZMQ_NOFLUSH);
+assert (rc == 0);
+rc = zmq_flush (s);
+assert (rc == 0);
