# qb\_ipcc\_send(3)

Send a message.

## NAME

qb\_ipcc\_send - Send a message.

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <qb/qbipcc.h>

ssize_t qb_ipcc_send(
    qb_ipcc_connection_t   *c,        /* connection instance */
    const void             *msg_ptr,  /* pointer to a message to send */
    size_t                  msg_len   /* the size of the message */
);
```

## PARAMS

**c**       *connection instance*

**msg\_ptr** *pointer to a message to send*

**msg\_len** *the size of the message*

## DESCRIPTION

## RETURN VALUE

(size sent, -errno == error)

## NOTE

the msg\_ptr must include a *qb\_ipc\_request\_header* at the top of the message. The server will read the size field to determine how much to recv.
