The 'option_len' argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed +to by 'option_value'. + +The following options can be retrieved with the _zmq_getsockopt()_ function: + + +ZMQ_HWM: Retrieve high water mark +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'ZMQ_HWM' option shall retrieve the high water mark for the _message queue_ +associated with the specified 'socket'. The high water mark is a hard limit on +the number of outstanding messages in the queue; if this limit has been reached +the socket shall enter an "emergency" state and depending on the socket type, +0MQ shall take appropriate action such as blocking or dropping new messages +entering the queue. + +The default 'ZMQ_HWM' value of zero means "no limit". + +Option value type:: int64_t +Option value unit:: messages +Default value:: 0 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +ZMQ_SWAP: Retrieve disk offload size +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'ZMQ_SWAP' option shall retrieve the disk offload (swap) size for the +_message queue_ associated with the specified 'socket'. A socket which has +'ZMQ_SWAP' set to a non-zero value may exceed it's high water mark; in this +case outstanding messages shall be offloaded to storage on disk rather than +held in memory. + +The value of 'ZMQ_SWAP' defines the maximum size of the swap space in bytes. + +Option value type:: int64_t +Option value unit:: bytes +Default value:: 0 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +ZMQ_AFFINITY: Retrieve I/O thread affinity +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'ZMQ_AFFINITY' option shall retrieve the I/O thread affinity for newly +created connections on the specified 'socket'. + +Affinity determines which threads from the 0MQ I/O thread pool associated with +the socket's _context_ shall handle newly created connections. A value of zero +specifies no affinity, meaning that work shall be distributed fairly among all +0MQ I/O threads in the thread pool. For non-zero values, the lowest bit +corresponds to thread 1, second lowest bit to thread 2 and so on. For example, +a value of 3 specifies that subsequent connections on 'socket' shall be handled +exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2. + +See also linkzmq:zmq_init[3] for details on allocating the number of I/O +threads for a specific _context_. + +Option value type:: int64_t +Option value unit:: N/A (bitmap) +Default value:: 0 +Applicable socket types:: N/A + + +ZMQ_IDENTITY: Retrieve socket identity +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'ZMQ_IDENTITY' option shall retrieve the identity of the specified +'socket'. Socket identity determines if existing 0MQ infastructure (_message +queues_, _forwarding devices_) shall be identified with a specific application +and persist across multiple runs of the application. + +If the socket has no identity, each run of an application is completely +separate from other runs.
