+.SH "NAME"
+zmq_setsockopt \- set 0MQ socket options
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBint zmq_setsockopt (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIoption_name\fR\fR\fB, const void \fR\fB\fI*option_value\fR\fR\fB, size_t \fR\fB\fIoption_len\fR\fR\fB);\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_setsockopt()\fR function shall set the option specified by the \fIoption_name\fR argument to the value pointed to by the \fIoption_value\fR argument for the 0MQ socket pointed to by the \fIsocket\fR argument\&. The \fIoption_len\fR argument is the size of the option value in bytes\&.
+.sp
+The following socket options can be set with the \fIzmq_setsockopt()\fR function:
+.SS "ZMQ_HWM: Set high water mark"
+.sp
+The \fIZMQ_HWM\fR option shall set the high water mark for the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. The high water mark is a hard limit on the maximum number of outstanding messages 0MQ shall queue in memory for any single peer that the specified \fIsocket\fR is communicating with\&.
+.sp
+If this limit has been reached the socket shall enter an exceptional state and depending on the socket type, 0MQ shall take appropriate action such as blocking or dropping sent messages\&. Refer to the individual socket descriptions in \fBzmq_socket\fR(3) for details on the exact action taken for each socket type\&.
+.sp
+The default \fIZMQ_HWM\fR value of zero means "no limit"\&.

+.SS "ZMQ_SWAP: Set disk offload size"
+.sp
+The \fIZMQ_SWAP\fR option shall set the disk offload (swap) size for the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. A socket which has \fIZMQ_SWAP\fR set to a non\-zero value may exceed it\(cqs high water mark; in this case outstanding messages shall be offloaded to storage on disk rather than held in memory\&.
+.sp
+The value of \fIZMQ_SWAP\fR defines the maximum size of the swap space in bytes\&.

+.SS "ZMQ_AFFINITY: Set I/O thread affinity"
+.sp
+The \fIZMQ_AFFINITY\fR option shall set the I/O thread affinity for newly created connections on the specified \fIsocket\fR\&.
+.sp
+Affinity determines which threads from the 0MQ I/O thread pool associated with the socket\(cqs \fIcontext\fR shall handle newly created connections\&. A value of zero specifies no affinity, meaning that work shall be distributed fairly among all 0MQ I/O threads in the thread pool\&. For non\-zero values, the lowest bit corresponds to thread 1, second lowest bit to thread 2 and so on\&. For example, a value of 3 specifies that subsequent connections on \fIsocket\fR shall be handled exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2\&.
+.sp
+See also \fBzmq_init\fR(3) for details on allocating the number of I/O threads for a specific \fIcontext\fR\&.

+.SS "ZMQ_IDENTITY: Set socket identity"
+.sp
+The \fIZMQ_IDENTITY\fR option shall set the identity of the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. Socket identity determines if existing 0MQ infastructure (\fImessage queues\fR, \fIforwarding devices\fR) shall be identified with a specific application and persist across multiple runs of the application\&.
+.sp
+If the socket has no identity, each run of an application is completely separate from other runs\&. However, with identity set the socket shall re\-use any existing 0MQ infrastructure configured by the previous run(s)\&. Thus the application may receive messages that were sent in the meantime, \fImessage queue\fR limits shall be shared with previous run(s) and so on\&.
+.sp
+Identity should be at least one byte and at most 255 bytes long\&. Identities starting with binary zero are reserved for use by 0MQ infrastructure\&.

+.sp
+The \fIZMQ_SUBSCRIBE\fR option shall establish a new message filter on a \fIZMQ_SUB\fR socket\&. Newly created \fIZMQ_SUB\fR sockets shall filter out all incoming messages, therefore you should call this option to establish an initial message filter\&.
+.sp
+An empty \fIoption_value\fR of length zero shall subscribe to all incoming messages\&. A non\-empty \fIoption_value\fR shall subscribe to all messages beginning with the specified prefix\&. Mutiple filters may be attached to a single \fIZMQ_SUB\fR socket, in which case a message shall be accepted if it matches at least one filter\&.

The filter specified must match an existing filter previously established with the \fIZMQ_SUBSCRIBE\fR option\&. If the socket has several instances of the same filter attached the \fIZMQ_UNSUBSCRIBE\fR option shall remove only one instance, leaving the rest in place and functional\&.

+The \fIZMQ_MCAST_LOOP\fR option shall control whether data sent via multicast transports using the specified \fIsocket\fR can also be received by the sending host via loopback\&. A value of zero disables the loopback functionality, while the default value of 1 enables the loopback functionality\&. Leaving multicast loopback enabled when it is not required can have a negative impact on performance\&. Where possible, disable \fIZMQ_MCAST_LOOP\fR in production environments\&.
