RMR LIBRARY FUNCTIONS
=====================



NAME
----

rmr_bytes2meid


SYNOPSIS
--------


::

  #include <rmr/rmr.h>

  int rmr_bytes2meid( rmr_mbuf_t* mbuf, unsigned char* src, int len )



DESCRIPTION
-----------

The ``rmr_bytes2meid`` function will copy up to *len* bytes
from *src* to the managed entity ID (meid) field in the
message. The field is a fixed length, gated by the constant
``RMR_MAX_MEID`` and if len is larger than this value, only
RMR_MAX_MEID bytes will actually be copied.


RETURN VALUE
------------

On success, the actual number of bytes copied is returned, or
-1 to indicate a hard error. If the length is less than 0, or
not the same as length passed in, ``errno`` is set to one of
the errors described in the *Errors* section.


ERRORS
------

If the returned length does not match the length passed in,
``errno`` will be set to one of the following constants with
the meaning listed below.

    .. list-table::
      :widths: auto
      :header-rows: 0
      :class: borderless


      * - **EINVAL**
        -
          The message, or an internal portion of the message, was
          corrupted or the pointer was invalid.


      * - **EOVERFLOW**
        -
          The length passed in was larger than the maximum length of
          the field; only a portion of the source bytes were copied.
