.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
This manual page describes how the 0MQ C++ language binding maps to the underlying 0MQ C library functions\&.
.sp
All 0MQ constants defined by \fIzmq\&.h\fR are also available to the C++ language binding\&.
.sp
The following classes are provided in the \fIzmq\fR namespace:
.SS "Context"
.sp
The \fIcontext_t\fR class encapsulates functionality dealing with the initialisation and termination of a 0MQ \fIcontext\fR\&.

.SH "ERROR HANDLING"
.sp
All errors reported by the underlying 0MQ C library functions are automatically converted to exceptions by the C++ language binding\&. The \fIzmq::error_t\fR class is derived from the \fIstd::exception\fR class and uses the \fIzmq_strerror()\fR function to convert the error code to human\-readable string\&.

.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
zmq::context_t ctx (1);
zmq::socket_t s (ctx, ZMQ_PUB);
s\&.connect ("tcp://192\&.168\&.0\&.115:5555");
zmq::message_t msg (100);
memset (msg\&.data (), 0, 100);
