ZMQ_SEND_CONST(3)		   0MQ Manual		       ZMQ_SEND_CONST(3)

NAME
     zmq_send_const - send a constant-memory message part on a socket

SYNOPSIS
     int zmq_send_const (void *socket, const void *buf, size_t len, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The zmq_send_const() function shall queue a message created from the buffer
     referenced  by  the buf and len arguments. The message buffer is assumed to
     be constant-memory and will therefore not be copied or deallocated  in  any
     way. The flags argument is a combination of the flags defined below:

     ZMQ_DONTWAIT
	 For  socket  types (DEALER, PUSH) that block (either with ZMQ_IMMEDIATE
	 option set and no peer available, or all peers having	full  high-water
	 mark), specifies that the operation should be performed in non-blocking
	 mode.	 If   the   message   cannot   be  queued  on  the  socket,  the
	 zmq_send_const() function shall fail with errno set to EAGAIN.

     ZMQ_SNDMORE
	 Specifies that the message being sent is a multi-part message, and that
	 further message parts are to follow. Refer  to  the  section  regarding
	 multi-part messages below for a detailed description.

	 Note

	 A  successful invocation of zmq_send_const() does not indicate that the
	 message has been transmitted to the network,  only  that  it  has  been
	 queued  on  the  socket and 0MQ has assumed responsibility for the mes-
	 sage.

   Multi-part messages
     A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts.  0MQ  ensures  atomic
     delivery  of  messages:  peers  shall receive either all message parts of a
     message or none at all. The total number of message parts is unlimited  ex-
     cept by available memory.

     An application that sends multi-part messages must use the ZMQ_SNDMORE flag
     when sending each message part except the final one.

RETURN VALUE
     The  zmq_send_const()  function shall return number of bytes in the message
     if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno	to  one  of  the
     values defined below.

ERRORS
     EAGAIN
	 Non-blocking  mode  was requested and the message cannot be sent at the
	 moment.

     ENOTSUP
	 The zmq_send_const() operation is not supported by this socket type.

     EFSM
	 The zmq_send_const() operation cannot be performed on	this  socket  at
	 the  moment  due to the socket not being in the appropriate state. This
	 error may occur with socket types that switch between	several  states,
	 such  as  ZMQ_REP.  See the messaging patterns section of zmq_socket(3)
	 for more information.

     ETERM
	 The 0MQ context associated with the specified socket was terminated.

     ENOTSOCK
	 The provided socket was invalid.

     EINTR
	 The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal before  the  mes-
	 sage was sent.

     EHOSTUNREACH
	 The message cannot be routed.

EXAMPLE
     Sending a multi-part message.

	 /* Send a multi-part message consisting of three parts to socket */
	 rc = zmq_send_const (socket, "ABC", 3, ZMQ_SNDMORE);
	 assert (rc == 3);
	 rc = zmq_send_const (socket, "DEFGH", 5, ZMQ_SNDMORE);
	 assert (rc == 5);
	 /* Final part; no more parts to follow */
	 rc = zmq_send_const (socket, "JK", 2, 0);
	 assert (rc == 2);
