== NAME
nng_recvmsg - receive a message
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
int nng_recvmsg(nng_socket s, nng_msg **msgp, int flags);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_recvmsg()` receives a message on socket _s_, storing the
received message at the location pointed to by _msgp_.
TIP: Using this function gives access to the message structure, and thus may
offer more functionality than the simpler xref:nng_recv.3.adoc[`nng_recv()`] function.
The _flags_ may contain the following value:
`NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK`::
The function returns immediately, even if no message is available.
Without this flag, the function will wait until a message is received
by the socket _s_, or any configured timer expires.
NOTE: The semantics of what receiving a message means vary from protocol to
protocol, so examination of the protocol documentation is encouraged.
(For example, with an xref:nng_req.7.adoc[_req_] socket a message may only be received
after a request has been sent, and an xref:nng_sub.7.adoc[_sub_] socket
may only receive messages corresponding to topics to which it has subscribed.)
Furthermore, some protocols may not support receiving data at all, such as
xref:nng_pub.7.adoc[_pub_].
== RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`NNG_EAGAIN`:: The operation would block, but `NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK` was specified.
`NNG_ECLOSED`:: The socket _s_ is not open.
`NNG_EINVAL`:: An invalid set of _flags_ was specified.
`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory is available.
`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: The protocol for socket _s_ does not support receiving.
`NNG_ESTATE`:: The socket _s_ cannot receive data in this state.
`NNG_ETIMEDOUT`:: The operation timed out.
