ZMQ_MSG_GETS(3) 		   0MQ Manual			 ZMQ_MSG_GETS(3)

NAME
     zmq_msg_gets - get message metadata property

SYNOPSIS
     const char *zmq_msg_gets (zmq_msg_t *message, const char *property);

DESCRIPTION
     The  zmq_msg_gets() function shall return the string value for the metadata
     property specified by the property argument for the message pointed  to  by
     the  message  argument.  Both  the property argument and the value shall be
     NULL-terminated UTF8-encoded strings.

     Metadata is defined on a per-connection basis during the ZeroMQ  connection
     handshake	as  specified  in <rfc.zeromq.org/spec:37>. Applications can set
     metadata properties using zmq_setsockopt(3) option  ZMQ_METADATA.	Applica-
     tion metadata properties must be prefixed with X-.

     In  addition  to application metadata, the following ZMTP properties can be
     retrieved with the zmq_msg_gets() function:

	 Socket-Type
	 Routing-Id

     Note: Identity is a deprecated alias for Routing-Id.

     Additionally, when available for the underlying transport, the Peer-Address
     property will return the IP address of the remote endpoint as  returned  by
     getnameinfo(2).

     The  names  of  these properties are also defined in zmq.h as ZMQ_MSG_PROP-
     ERTY_SOCKET_TYPE ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_ROUTING_ID, and ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_PEER_AD-
     DRESS. Currently, these definitions are only available as a DRAFT API.

     Other properties may be defined based on the underlying security mechanism,
     see ZAP authenticated connection sample below.

RETURN VALUE
     The zmq_msg_gets() function shall return the string value for the	property
     if  successful.  Otherwise it shall return NULL and set errno to one of the
     values defined below. The caller shall not  modify  or  free  the	returned
     value,  which  shall  be owned by the message. The encoding of the property
     and value shall be UTF8.

ERRORS
     EINVAL
	 The requested property is unknown.

EXAMPLE
     Getting the ZAP authenticated user id for a message:.

	 zmq_msg_t msg;
	 zmq_msg_init (&msg);
	 rc = zmq_msg_recv (&msg, dealer, 0);
	 assert (rc != -1);
	 const char *user_id = zmq_msg_gets (&msg, ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_USER_ID);
	 zmq_msg_close (&msg);
