ZMQ_MSG_COPY(3) 		   0MQ Manual			 ZMQ_MSG_COPY(3)

NAME
     zmq_msg_copy - copy content of a message to another message

SYNOPSIS
     int zmq_msg_copy (zmq_msg_t *dest, zmq_msg_t *src);

DESCRIPTION
     The zmq_msg_copy() function shall copy the message object referenced by src
     to  the message object referenced by dest. The original content of dest, if
     any, shall be released. You must initialise dest before copying to it.

	 Caution

	 The implementation may choose not to physically copy the  message  con-
	 tent, rather to share the underlying buffer between src and dest. Avoid
	 modifying  message  content  after  a	message  has  been  copied  with
	 zmq_msg_copy(), doing so can result in undefined behaviour. If what you
	 need  is  an  actual  hard  copy,  initialize	a  new	 message   using
	 zmq_msg_init_buffer() with the message content.

	 Caution

	 Never access zmq_msg_t members directly, instead always use the zmq_msg
	 family of functions.

RETURN VALUE
     The  zmq_msg_copy()  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.

EXAMPLE
     Copying a message.

	 zmq_msg_t msg;
	 zmq_msg_init_buffer (&msg, "Hello, World", 12);
	 zmq_msg_t copy;
	 zmq_msg_init (&copy);
	 zmq_msg_copy (&copy, &msg);
	 ...
	 zmq_msg_close (&copy);
	 zmq_msg_close (&msg);
