Actual semantics of the +command depend on the underlying transport mechanism, however, in cases where +peers connect in an asymetric manner, +.IR zmq_bind +should be called first, +.IR zmq_connect +afterwards. For actual formats of +.IR addr +parameter for different types of transport have a look at +.IR zmq(7) . +Note that single socket can be bound (and connected) to +arbitrary number of peers using different transport mechanisms. .SH RETURN VALUE +In case of success the function returns zero. Otherwise it returns -1 and +sets +.IR errno +to the appropriate value. .SH ERRORS +.IP "\fBEPROTONOSUPPORT\fP" +unsupported protocol. +.IP "\fBENOCOMPATPROTO\fP" +protocol is not compatible with the socket type. +.IP "\fBEADDRINUSE\fP" +the given address is already in use. +.IP "\fBEADDRNOTAVAIL\fP" +a nonexistent interface was requested or the requested address was not local. .SH EXAMPLE +.nf +void *s = zmq_socket (context, ZMQ_PUB); +assert (s); +int rc = zmq_bind (s, "inproc://my_publisher"); +assert (rc == 0); +rc = zmq_bind (s, "tcp://eth0:5555"); +assert (rc == 0); +.fi .SH SEE ALSO +.BR zmq_connect (3) +.BR zmq_socket (3) +.BR zmq (7) .SH AUTHOR Martin Sustrik <sustrik at 250bpm dot com> |
