Actual +semantics of the command depend on the underlying transport mechanism, +however, in cases where peers connect in an asymmetric manner, 'zmq_bind' +should be called first, 'zmq_connect' afterwards. Formats of the 'addr' +parameter are defined by individual transports. For a list of supported +transports have a look at linkzmq:zmq[7] manual page. + +Note that single socket can be connected (and bound) to +arbitrary number of peers using different transport mechanisms. + + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and +sets 'errno' to the appropriate value. + + +ERRORS +------ +*EPROTONOSUPPORT*:: +unsupported protocol. +*ENOCOMPATPROTO*:: +protocol is not compatible with the socket type. + + +EXAMPLE +------- +---- +void *s = zmq_socket (context, ZMQ_SUB); +assert (s); +int rc = zmq_connect (s, "inproc://my_publisher"); +assert (rc == 0); +rc = zmq_connect (s, "tcp://server001:5555"); +assert (rc == 0); +---- + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkzmq:zmq_bind[3] +linkzmq:zmq_socket[3] +linkzmq:zmq[7] + + +AUTHOR +------ +Martin Sustrik <sustrik at 250bpm dot com> |
