There are no intervening I/O threads involved. +Thus, if you are using 0MQ for in-process messaging only, you can initialise +the library (linkzmq:zmq_init[3]) with zero I/O worker threads. + + +CONNECTION STRING +----------------- +Connection string for inproc transport is "inproc://" followed by an arbitrary +string. There are no restrictions on the string format: + +---- + inproc://my_endpoint + inproc://feeds/opra/cboe + inproc://feeds.opra.nasdaq + inproc://!&W#($)_@_123*((^^^ +---- + + +WIRE FORMAT +----------- +In-process transport transfers messages via memory thus there is no need for a +wire format specification. + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkzmq:zmq_ipc[7] +linkzmq:zmq_tcp[7] +linkzmq:zmq_udp[7] +linkzmq:zmq_pgm[7] + + +AUTHOR +------ +Martin Sustrik <sustrik at 250bpm dot com> |
