+.TH zmq_bind 3 "" "(c)2007-2009 FastMQ Inc." "0MQ User Manuals"
+.SH NAME
+zmq_bind \- binds the socket to the specified address
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B int zmq_bind (void *s, const char *addr);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function binds socket
+.IR s to a particular transport. Actual semantics of the
+command depend on the underlying transport mechanism, however, in cases where
+peers connect in an asymetric manner,
+.IR zmq_bind
+should be called first,
+.IR zmq_connect
+afterwards. For actual formats of
+.IR addr
+parameter for different types of transport have a look at
+.IR zmq(7) .
+Note that single socket can be bound (and connected) to
+arbitrary number of peers using different transport mechanisms.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
+sets
+.IR errno
+to the appropriate value.
+.SH ERRORS
+.IP "\fBEPROTONOSUPPORT\fP"
+unsupported protocol.
+.IP "\fBENOCOMPATPROTO\fP"

+Flushes all the pre-sent messages - i.e. those that have been sent with

+.SH NAME
+zmq_init \- initialises 0MQ context
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B void *zmq_init (int app_threads, int io_threads, int flags);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Initialises 0MQ context.
+.IR app_threads
+specifies maximal number of application threads that can own open sockets
+at the same time. At least one application thread should be defined.
+.IR io_threads
+specifies the size of thread pool to handle I/O operations. The value shouldn't
+be negative. Zero can be used in case only in-process messaging is going to be
+used, i.e. there will be no I/O traffic.
+'flags' argument is a combination of the flags defined below:
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_POLL\fP"
+flag specifying that the sockets within this context should be pollable (see
+.IR zmq_poll
+). Pollable sockets may add a little latency to the message transfer when
+compared to non-pollable sockets.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Function returns context handle is successful. Otherwise it returns NULL and
+sets errno to one of the values below.
+.SH ERRORS
+.IP "\fBEINVAL\fP"
+there's less than one application thread allocated, or number of I/O threads
+is negative.

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Receive a message from the socket

+Any content previously in

+will be properly deallocated.
+.IR flags
+argument can be combination of the flags described below.
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_NOBLOCK\fP"
+The flag specifies that the operation should be performed in
+non-blocking mode. I.e. if it cannot be processed immediately,
+error should be returned with
+.IR errno
+set to EAGAIN.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
+sets
+.IR errno
+to the appropriate value.
+.SH ERRORS
+.IP "\fBEAGAIN\fP"
+it's a non-blocking receive and there's no message available at the moment.
+.IP "\fBENOTSUP\fP"
+function isn't supported by particular socket type.
+.IP "\fBEFSM\fP"
+function cannot be called at the moment, because socket is not in the

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Send the message

+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_NOFLUSH\fP"
+The flag specifies that
+.IR zmq_send
+should not flush the message downstream immediately. Instead, it should batch
+ZMQ_NOFLUSH messages and send them downstream only once
+.IR zmq_flush
+is invoked. This is an optimisation for cases where several messages are sent

+.SH NAME
+zmq_setsockopt \- sets a specified option on a 0MQ socket
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B int zmq_setsockopt (void *s, int option, const void *optval, size_t optvallen);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Sets an option on the socket.
+.IR option
+argument specifies the option from the list below.
+.IR optval
+is a pointer to the value to set,
+.IR optvallen
+is the size of the value in bytes.
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_HWM\fP"
+High watermark for the message pipes associated with the socket. The water
+mark cannot be exceeded. If the messages don't fit into the pipe emergency
+mechanisms of the particular socket type are used (block, drop etc.) If HWM
+is set to zero, there are no limits for the content of the pipe.
+Type: int64_t Unit: bytes Default: 0
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_LWM\fP"
+Low watermark makes sense only if high watermark is defined (i.e. is non-zero).
+When the emergency state is reached when messages overflow the pipe, the
+emergency lasts till the size of the pipe decreases to low watermark.
+At that point normal state is resumed.
+Type: int64_t Unit: bytes Default: 0
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_SWAP\fP"
+Swap allows the pipe to exceed high watermark. However, the data are written
+to the disk rather than held in the memory. Until high watermark is
+exceeded there is no disk activity involved though. The value of the option
+defines maximal size of the swap file.
+Type: int64_t Unit: bytes Default: 0
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_AFFINITY\fP"
+Affinity defines which threads in the thread pool will be used to handle
+newly created sockets. This way you can dedicate some of the threads (CPUs)
+to a specific work. Value of 0 means no affinity. Work is distributed
+fairly among the threads in the thread pool. For non-zero values, the lowest
+bit corresponds to the thread 1, second lowest bit to the thread 2 etc.
+Thus, value of 3 means that from now on newly created sockets will handle
+I/O activity exclusively using threads no. 1 and 2.
+Type: int64_t Unit: N/A (bitmap) Default: 0
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_IDENTITY\fP"
+Identity of the socket. Identity is important when restarting applications.
+If the socket has no identity, each run of the application is completely
+separated from other runs. However, with identity application reconnects to
+existing infrastructure left by the previous run. Thus it may receive
+messages that were sent in the meantime, it shares pipe limits with the
+previous run etc.
+Type: string Unit: N/A Default: NULL
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_SUBSCRIBE\fP"
+Applicable only to ZMQ_SUB socket type. It establishes new message filter.
+When ZMQ_SUB socket is created all the incoming messages are filtered out.
+This option allows you to subscribe for all messages ("*"), messages with
+specific topic ("x.y.z") and/or messages with specific topic prefix
+("x.y.*"). Topic is one-byte-size-prefixed string located at
+the very beginning of the message. Multiple filters can be attached to
+a single 'sub' socket. In that case message passes if it matches at least
+one of the filters.
+Type: string Unit: N/A Default: N/A
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_UNSUBSCRIBE\fP"
+Applicable only to ZMQ_SUB socket type. Removes existing message filter.
+The filter specified must match the string passed to ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE options
+exactly. If there were several instances of the same filter created,
+this options removes only one of them, leaving the rest in place
+and functional.
+Type: string Unit: N/A Default: N/A
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_RATE\fP"
+This option applies only to sending side of multicast transports (pgm & udp).
+It specifies maximal outgoing data rate that an individual sender socket
+can send.
+Type: uint64_t Unit: kilobits/second Default: 100
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL\fP"
+This option applies only to multicast transports (pgm & udp). It specifies
+how long can the receiver socket survive when the sender is inaccessible.
+Keep in mind that large recovery intervals at high data rates result in
+very large recovery buffers, meaning that you can easily overload your box
+by setting say 1 minute recovery interval at 1Gb/s rate (requires
+7GB in-memory buffer).
+Type: uint64_t Unit: seconds Default: 10
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_MCAST_LOOP\fP"
+This option applies only to multicast transports (pgm & udp). Value of 1
+means that the mutlicast packets can be received on the box they were sent
+from. Setting the value to 0 disables the loopback functionality which
+can have negative impact on the performance. If possible, disable
+the loopback in production environments.
+Type: uint64_t Unit: N/A (boolean value) Default: 1
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and
+sets
+.IR errno
+to the appropriate value.
+.SH ERRORS
+.IP "\fBEINVAL\fP"
+unknown option, a value with incorrect length or invalid value.

+send's and recv's.
+
+.IP "\fBZMQ_REP\fP"
+Socket to receive requests and send replies. This socket type allows

+the peer that issued the last received request.
+
