Not calling this function can result in -memory leaks. +The _zmq_msg_close()_ function shall inform the 0MQ infrastructure that any +resources associated with the message object referenced by 'msg' are no longer +required and may be released. Actual release of resources associated with the +message object shall be postponed by 0MQ until all users of the message or +underlying data buffer have indicated it is no longer required. + +Applications should ensure that _zmq_msg_close()_ is called once a message is +no longer required, otherwise memory leaks may occur. + +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_close()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise +it shall return -1 and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
