xs_msg_close(3)
===============


NAME
----
xs_msg_close - release Crossroads message


SYNOPSIS
--------
*int xs_msg_close (xs_msg_t '*msg');*


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _xs_msg_close()_ function shall inform the Crossroads 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 the library until all users of the
message or underlying data buffer have indicated it is no longer required.

Applications should ensure that _xs_msg_close()_ is called once a message is
no longer required, otherwise memory leaks may occur.

CAUTION: Never access 'xs_msg_t' members directly, instead always use the
_xs_msg_ family of functions.


RETURN VALUE
------------
The _xs_msg_close()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise
it shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.


ERRORS
------
*EFAULT*::
Invalid message.
