.TH zmq_inproc 7 "" "(c)2007-2010 iMatix Corporation" "0MQ User Manuals"
.SH NAME
0MQ In-process Transport \- transport to pass messages between threads
.SH SYNOPSIS

In-process transport is optimised for passing messages between threads in the
same process.

Messages are passed directly from one application thread to
another application thread. There are no intervening I/O threads involved.
Thus, if you are using 0MQ for in-process messaging only, you can initialise
the library (
.IR zmq_init
) with zero I/O worker threads.

.SH CONNECTION STRING

Connection string for inproc transport is "inproc://" followed by an arbitrary
string. There are no restrictions on the string format:

.nf
    inproc://my_endpoint
    inproc://feeds/opra/cboe
    inproc://feeds.opra.nasdaq
    inproc://!&W#($)_@_123*((^^^
.fi

.SH WIRE FORMAT

In-process transport transfers messages via memory thus there is no need for a
wire format specification.
