.SH "NAME"
zmq_ipc \- 0MQ local inter\-process communication transport
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
The inter\-process transport passes messages between local processes using a system\-dependent IPC mechanism\&.

.sp
The inter\-process transport is currently only implemented on operating systems that provide UNIX domain sockets\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.SH "ADDRESSING"
.sp
A 0MQ address string consists of two parts as follows: \fItransport\fR://\fIendpoint\fR\&. The \fItransport\fR part specifies the underlying transport protocol to use, and for the inter\-process transport shall be set to ipc\&. The meaning of the \fIendpoint\fR part for the inter\-process transport is defined below\&.
.SS "Assigning a local address to a socket"
.sp
When assigning a local address to a \fIsocket\fR using \fIzmq_bind()\fR with the \fIipc\fR transport, the \fIendpoint\fR shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string identifying the \fIpathname\fR to create\&. The \fIpathname\fR must be unique within the operating system namespace used by the \fIipc\fR implementation, and must fulfill any restrictions placed by the operating system on the format and length of a \fIpathname\fR\&.
.SS "Connecting a socket"
.sp
When connecting a \fIsocket\fR to a peer address using \fIzmq_connect()\fR with the \fIipc\fR transport, the \fIendpoint\fR shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string identifying the \fIpathname\fR to connect to\&. The \fIpathname\fR must have been previously created within the operating system namespace by assigning it to a \fIsocket\fR with \fIzmq_bind()\fR\&.
