C# Class NetMQ.Msg

A Msg struct is the lowest-level interpretation of a ZeroMQ message, and simply contains byte-array data and MsgType and MsgFlags properties. It supports message buffer pooling.

Many users will not use this class directly. However in high-performance situations it may be useful. When used correctly it's possible to have zero-copy and zero-allocation behaviour.

Public Methods

Method	Description
AddReferences ( int amount ) : void	If this Msg is of MsgType.Pool, then - add the given amount number to the reference-counter and set the shared-data Flags bit. If this is not a Pool Msg, this does nothing.
CloneData ( ) : byte[]	Returns a new array containing the first Size bytes of Data.
Close ( ) : void	Clear the Data and set the MsgType to Invalid. If this is not a shared-data Msg (MsgFlags.Shared is not set), or it is shared but the reference-counter has dropped to zero, then return the data back to the BufferPool.
Copy ( Msg &src ) : void	Close this Msg, and effectively make this Msg a copy of the given source Msg by simply setting it to point to the given source Msg. If this is a Pool Msg, then this also increases the reference-counter and sets the Shared bit.
InitDelimiter ( ) : void	Set this Msg to be of type MsgType.Delimiter with no bits set within MsgFlags.
InitEmpty ( ) : void	Clear this Msg to empty - ie, set MsgFlags to None, MsgType to Empty, and clear the Data.
InitGC ( [ data, int size ) : void	Initialise this Msg to be of MsgType.GC with the given data-buffer value.
InitGC ( [ data, int offset, int size ) : void	Initialise this Msg to be of MsgType.GC with the given data-buffer value.
InitPool ( int size ) : void	Initialise this Msg to be of MsgType.Pool, with a data-buffer of the given number of bytes.
Move ( Msg &src ) : void	Close this Msg and make it reference the given source Msg, and then clear the Msg to empty.
Put ( [ src, int i, int len ) : void	Copy the given byte-array data to this Msg's Data buffer.
Put ( [ src, int srcOffset, int i, int len ) : void	Copy the given byte-array data to this Msg's Data buffer.
Put ( byte b ) : void	Copy the given single byte to this Msg's Data buffer.
Put ( byte b, int i ) : void	Copy the given single byte to this Msg's Data buffer at the given array-index.
RemoveReferences ( int amount ) : void	If this Msg is of MsgType.Pool and is marked as Shared, then - subtract the given amount number from the reference-counter and, if that reaches zero - return the data to the shared-data pool. If this is not both a Pool Msg and also marked as Shared, this simply Closes this Msg.
ResetFlags ( MsgFlags flags ) : void	Clear the indicated Flags bits.
SetFlags ( MsgFlags flags ) : void	Set the indicated Flags bits.
ToString ( ) : string	Override the Object ToString method to show the object-type, and values of the MsgType, Size, and Flags properties.
TrimPrefix ( int count ) : void	Increase Offset and decrease Size by the given count.
this ( int index ) : byte	Get and set the byte value in the Data buffer at a specific index.

Method Details

AddReferences() public method

If this Msg is of MsgType.Pool, then - add the given amount number to the reference-counter and set the shared-data Flags bit. If this is not a Pool Msg, this does nothing.

public AddReferences ( int amount ) : void
amount	int	the number to add to the internal reference-counter
return	void

CloneData() public method

Returns a new array containing the first Size bytes of Data.

public CloneData ( ) : byte[]
return	byte[]

Close() public method

Clear the Data and set the MsgType to Invalid. If this is not a shared-data Msg (MsgFlags.Shared is not set), or it is shared but the reference-counter has dropped to zero, then return the data back to the BufferPool.

The object is not initialised.

public Close ( ) : void
return	void

Copy() public method

Close this Msg, and effectively make this Msg a copy of the given source Msg by simply setting it to point to the given source Msg. If this is a Pool Msg, then this also increases the reference-counter and sets the Shared bit.

The object is not initialised.

public Copy ( Msg &src ) : void
src	Msg	the source Msg to copy from
return	void

InitDelimiter() public method

Set this Msg to be of type MsgType.Delimiter with no bits set within MsgFlags.

public InitDelimiter ( ) : void
return	void

InitEmpty() public method

Clear this Msg to empty - ie, set MsgFlags to None, MsgType to Empty, and clear the Data.

public InitEmpty ( ) : void
return	void

InitGC() public method

Initialise this Msg to be of MsgType.GC with the given data-buffer value.

public InitGC ( [ data, int size ) : void
data	[	the byte-array of data to assign to the Msg's Data property
size	int	the number of bytes that are in the data byte-array
return	void

InitGC() public method

Initialise this Msg to be of MsgType.GC with the given data-buffer value.

public InitGC ( [ data, int offset, int size ) : void
data	[	the byte-array of data to assign to the Msg's Data property
offset	int	first byte in the data array
size	int	the number of bytes that are in the data byte-array
return	void

InitPool() public method

Initialise this Msg to be of MsgType.Pool, with a data-buffer of the given number of bytes.

public InitPool ( int size ) : void
size	int	the number of bytes to allocate in the data-buffer
return	void

Move() public method

Close this Msg and make it reference the given source Msg, and then clear the Msg to empty.

The object is not initialised.

src	Msg	the source-Msg to become
return	void

Put() public method

Copy the given byte-array data to this Msg's Data buffer.

public Put ( [ src, int i, int len ) : void

i	int	index within the internal Data array to copy that byte to
len	int	the number of bytes to copy
return	void

Put() public method

Copy the given byte-array data to this Msg's Data buffer.

public Put ( [ src, int srcOffset, int i, int len ) : void
