.SH "NAME"
zmq_getsockopt \- get 0MQ socket options
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBint zmq_getsockopt (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIoption_name\fR\fR\fB, void \fR\fB\fI*option_value\fR\fR\fB, size_t \fR\fB\fI*option_len\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_getsockopt()\fR function shall retrieve the value for the option specified by the \fIoption_name\fR argument for the 0MQ socket pointed to by the \fIsocket\fR argument, and store it in the buffer pointed to by the \fIoption_value\fR argument\&. The \fIoption_len\fR argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed to by \fIoption_value\fR; upon successful completion \fIzmq_getsockopt()\fR shall modify the \fIoption_len\fR argument to indicate the actual size of the option value stored in the buffer\&.
.sp
The following options can be retrieved with the \fIzmq_getsockopt()\fR function:
.SS "ZMQ_TYPE: Retrieve socket type"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_TYPE\fR option shall retrieve the socket type for the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. The socket type is specified at socket creation time and cannot be modified afterwards\&.

.SS "ZMQ_RCVMORE: More message parts to follow"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_RCVMORE\fR option shall return a boolean value indicating if the multi\-part message currently being read from the specified \fIsocket\fR has more message parts to follow\&. If there are no message parts to follow or if the message currently being read is not a multi\-part message a value of zero shall be returned\&. Otherwise, a value of 1 shall be returned\&.
.sp
Refer to \fBzmq_send\fR(3) and \fBzmq_recv\fR(3) for a detailed description of sending/receiving multi\-part messages\&.

.SS "ZMQ_HWM: Retrieve high water mark"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_HWM\fR option shall retrieve 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: Retrieve disk offload size"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_SWAP\fR option shall retrieve 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 its 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: Retrieve I/O thread affinity"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_AFFINITY\fR option shall retrieve 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: Retrieve socket identity"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_IDENTITY\fR option shall retrieve the identity of the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. Socket identity determines if existing 0MQ infrastructure (\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 can be at least one byte and at most 255 bytes long\&. Identities starting with binary zero are reserved for use by 0MQ infrastructure\&.
