 .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 EXAMPLE
+.nf
+void *ctx = zmq_init (1, 1, ZMQ_POLL);
+assert (ctx);

+.TH zmq_strerror 3 "" "(c)2007-2009 FastMQ Inc." "0MQ User Manuals"
+.SH NAME
+zmq_strerror \- returns string describing the error number
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B const char *zmq_strerror (int errnum);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+As 0MQ defines few additional (non-POSIX) error codes, standard
+.IR strerror
+isn't capable of translating those errors into human readable strings. Instead,
+.IR zmq_strerror
+should be used.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns string describing the error number.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+void *ctx = zmq_init (1, 1, 0);
+if (!ctx) {
+    printf ("error occured during zmq_init: %s\\n", zmq_strerror (errno));
+    abort ();

 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B int zmq_term (void *context);
 .SH DESCRIPTION
+Destroys 0MQ context. However, if there are still any sockets open within
+the context,
+.IR zmq_term
+succeeds but shutdown of the context is delayed till the last socket is closed.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
+Function returns zero is successful. Otherwise it returns -1 and

 .SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
