// Available socket options, their types and default values.
// High watermark for the message pipes associated with the socket. The water
// mark cannot be exceeded. If the messages don't fit into the pipe emergency
// mechanisms of the particular socket type are used (block, drop etc.) If HWM
// is set to zero, there are no limits for the content of the pipe.
// Type: int64_t Unit: bytes Default: 0
#define ZMQ_HWM 1
// Low watermark makes sense only if high watermark is defined (is non-zero).
// When the emergency state is reached when messages overflow the pipe, the
// emergency lasts till the size of the pipe decreases to low watermark.
// At that point normal state is resumed.
// Type: int64_t Unit: bytes Default: 0
#define ZMQ_LWM 2
// Swap allows the pipe to exceed high watermark. However, the data are written
// to the disk rather than held in the memory. While the high watermark is not
// exceeded there is no disk activity involved though. The value of the option
// defines maximal size of the swap file.
// Type: int64_t Unit: bytes Default: 0
#define ZMQ_SWAP 3
// Affinity defines which threads in the thread pool will be used to handle
// newly created sockets. This way you can dedicate some of the threads (CPUs)
// to a specific work. Value of 0 means no affinity, work is distributed
// fairly among the threads in the thread pool. For non-zero values, the lowest
// bit corresponds to the thread 1, second lowest bit to the thread 2 etc.
// Thus, value of 3 means that from now on newly created sockets will handle
// I/O activity exclusively using threads no. 1 and 2.
// Type: int64_t Unit: N/A (bitmap) Default: 0
#define ZMQ_AFFINITY 4
// Identity of the socket. Identity is important when restarting applications.
// If the socket has no identity, each run of the application is completely
// separated from other runs. However, with identity application reconnects to
// existing infrastructure left by the previous run. Thus it may receive
// messages that were sent in the meantime, it shares pipe limits with the
// previous run etc.
// Type: string Unit: N/A Default: NULL

// Applicable only to 'sub' socket type. Eastablishes new message filter.
// When 'sub' socket is created all the incoming messages are filtered out.
// This option allows you to subscribe for all messages ("*"), messages with
// specific topic ("x.y.z") and/or messages with specific topic prefix
// ("x.y.*"). Topic is one-byte-size-prefixed string located at
// the very beginning of the message. Multiple filters can be attached to

// The filter specified must match the string passed to ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE options
// exactly. If there were several instances of the same filter created,

// and functional.
// Type: string Unit: N/A Default: N/A

// maximal outgoing data rate that an individual sender socket can send.
// Type: uint64_t Unit: kilobits/second Default: 100
#define ZMQ_RATE 8
// This option applies only to multicast transports (pgm & udp). It specifies
// how long can the receiver socket survive when the sender is inaccessible.
// Keep in mind that large recovery intervals at high data rates result in
// very large recovery buffers, meaning that you can easily overload your box
// by setting say 1 minute recovery interval at 1Gb/s rate (requires
// 7GB in-memory buffer).
// Type: uint64_t Unit: seconds Default: 10
#define ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL 9
// This option applies only to multicast transports (pgm & udp). Value of 1
// means that the mutlicast packets can be received on the box they were sent
// from. Setting the value to 0 disables the loopback functionality which
// can have negative impact on the performance. if possible, disable
// the loopback in production environments.
// Type: uint64_t Unit: N/A (boolean value) Default: 1
