-<div class="sectionbody">
-<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>void *zmq_socket (void <em>*context</em>, int <em>type</em>);</strong></p></div>
-</div>
-<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
-<div class="sectionbody">
-<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>zmq_socket()</em> function shall create a ØMQ socket within the specified
-<em>context</em> and return an opaque handle to the newly created socket. The <em>type</em>
-argument specifies the socket type, which determines the semantics of
-communication over the socket.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>The newly created socket is initially unbound, and not associated with any
-endpoints. In order to establish a message flow a socket must first be
-connected to at least one endpoint with <a href="zmq_connect.html">zmq_connect(3)</a>, or at least one
-endpoint must be created for accepting incoming connections with
-<a href="zmq_bind.html">zmq_bind(3)</a>.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><div class="title">Key differences to conventional sockets</div><p>Generally speaking, conventional sockets present a <em>synchronous</em> interface to
-either connection-oriented reliable byte streams (SOCK_STREAM), or
-connection-less unreliable datagrams (SOCK_DGRAM). In comparison, ØMQ sockets
-present an abstraction of an asynchronous <em>message queue</em>, with the exact
-queueing semantics depending on the socket type in use. Where conventional
-sockets transfer streams of bytes or discrete datagrams, ØMQ sockets transfer
-discrete <em>messages</em>.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>ØMQ sockets being <em>asynchronous</em> means that the timings of the physical
-connection setup and teardown, reconnect and effective delivery are transparent
-to the user and organized by ØMQ itself. Further, messages may be <em>queued</em> in
-the event that a peer is unavailable to receive them.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>Conventional sockets allow only strict one-to-one (two peers), many-to-one
-(many clients, one server), or in some cases one-to-many (multicast)
-relationships. With the exception of <em>ZMQ_PAIR</em>, ØMQ sockets may be connected
-<strong>to multiple endpoints</strong> using <em>zmq_connect()</em>, while simultaneously accepting
-incoming connections <strong>from multiple endpoints</strong> bound to the socket using
-<em>zmq_bind()</em>, thus allowing many-to-many relationships.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><div class="title">Socket types</div><p>The following sections present the socket types defined by ØMQ, grouped by the
-general <em>messaging pattern</em> which is built from related socket types.</p></div>
-<h3 id="_request_reply_pattern">Request-reply pattern</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>The request-reply pattern is used for sending requests from a <em>client</em> to one
-or more instances of a <em>service</em>, and receiving subsequent replies to each
-request sent.</p></div>
-<h4 id="_zmq_req">ZMQ_REQ</h4>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>A socket of type <em>ZMQ_REQ</em> is used by a <em>client</em> to send requests to and
-receive replies from a <em>service</em>. This socket type allows only an alternating
-sequence of <em>zmq_send(request)</em> and subsequent <em>zmq_recv(reply)</em> calls. Each
-request sent is load-balanced among all <em>services</em>, and each reply received is
-matched with the last issued request.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>When a <em>ZMQ_REQ</em> socket enters an exceptional state due to having reached the
-high water mark for all <em>services</em>, or if there are no <em>services</em> at all, then
-any <a href="zmq_send.html">zmq_send(3)</a> operations on the socket shall block until the
-exceptional state ends or at least one <em>service</em> becomes available for sending;
-messages are not discarded.</p></div>
