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.
CAUTION: The implementation may choose not to physically copy the message
content, 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, allocate a new message using _zmq_msg_init_size()_ and
copy the message content using _memcpy()_.
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.
