-----------
The _zmq_term()_ function terminates the 0MQ context 'context'.
-If there are no longer any sockets open within 'context' at the time
-_zmq_term()_ is called then 'context' shall be shut down and all associated
-resources shall be released immediately.
+It does so in following steps:
-Otherwise, the following applies:
-
-* The _zmq_term()_ function shall return immediately.
-
-* Any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open within
- 'context' shall return immediately with an error code of ETERM.
+* It causes any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open within
+ 'context' to exit immediately with an error code of ETERM.
* With the exception of _zmq_close()_, any further operations on sockets open
within 'context' shall fail with an error code of ETERM.
-* The actual shutdown of 'context', and release of any associated resources,
- *shall be delayed* until the last socket within it is closed with
- _zmq_close()_.
+* After iterrupting all blocking calls, _zmq_term()_ blocks until all sockets
+ open within the context are closed using _zmq_close()_ and either all the
+ pending outbound messages are pushed to the network or ZMQ_LINGER period
+ expires for individual sockets.
