[zeromq-dev] Easy way to send/recv messages?

[Matt Weinstein]

It's pretty early in the morning here, but are you just proposing copy  
wrappers?

int zmq_sendcopy
	init msg
	copy data
	send msg
	return status

int zmq_recvcopy
	init msg
	recv msg
	copy data
	return status

These would be trivial to implement as helper functions, I would  
think ...
?
