== NAME
|
|
|
|
nn_recvmsg - receive message (compatible API)
|
|
|
|
== SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
[source, c]
|
|
----
|
|
#include <nanomsg/nn.h>
|
|
|
|
int nn_recvmsg(int sock, struct nn_msghdr *hdr, int flags);
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The `nn_recvmsg()` function receives a message into the header described by
|
|
_hdr_ using the socket _sock_.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This function is provided for API
|
|
xref:nng_compat.3compat.adoc[compatibility] with legacy _libnanomsg_.
|
|
Consider using the relevant xref:libnng.3.adoc[modern API] instead.
|
|
|
|
The _flags_ field may contain the special flag `NN_DONTWAIT`.
|
|
In this case, if no message is ready for receiving on _sock_,
|
|
the operation shall not block, but instead will fail with the error `EAGAIN`.
|
|
|
|
The _hdr_ points to a structure of type `struct nn_msghdr`, which has the
|
|
following definition:
|
|
|
|
[source, c]
|
|
----
|
|
struct nn_iovec {
|
|
void * iov_base;
|
|
size_t iov_len;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
struct nn_msghdr {
|
|
struct nn_iovec *msg_iov;
|
|
int msg_iovlen;
|
|
void * msg_control;
|
|
size_t msg_controllen;
|
|
};
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The `msg_iov` is an array of scatter items, permitting the message
|
|
to be spread into different memory blocks.
|
|
There are `msg_iovlen` elements in this array, each of which
|
|
has the base address (`iov_base`) and length (`iov_len`) indicated.
|
|
|
|
The last member of this array may have the `iov_len` field set to `NN_MSG`,
|
|
in which case the function shall allocate a message buffer, and store the
|
|
pointer to it at the address indicated by `iov_base`.
|
|
This can help save an extra copy operation.
|
|
The buffer should be deallocated by xref:nn_freemsg.3compat.adoc[`nn_freemsg()`]
|
|
or similar when it is no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
The values of `msg_control` and `msg_controllen` describe a buffer
|
|
of ancillary data associated with the message.
|
|
This is currently only useful to obtain the message headers
|
|
used with xref:nng.7.adoc#raw_mode[raw mode] sockets.
|
|
In all other circumstances these fields should be zero.
|
|
Details about this structure are covered in
|
|
xref:nn_cmsg.3compat.adoc[`nn_cmsg(3compat)`].
|
|
|
|
== RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
This function returns the number of bytes received on success, and -1 on error.
|
|
|
|
== ERRORS
|
|
|
|
[horizontal]
|
|
`EAGAIN`:: The operation would block.
|
|
`EBADF`:: The socket _sock_ is not open.
|
|
`EFSM`:: The socket cannot receive in this state.
|
|
`EINVAL`:: The _hdr_ is invalid.
|
|
`ENOTSUP`:: This protocol cannot receive.
|
|
`ETIMEDOUT`:: Operation timed out.
