zmq.socket() initials a ZMQ socket given a ZMQ context ctx and
a socket type. See ZMQ.ST() for the possible values of
type. ZMQ defines several patterns for the socket type and utilize
them to communicate in different ways including request-reply,
publish-subscribe, pipeline, exclusive pair, and naive patterns.
zmq.close() destroys the ZMQ socket.
zmq.bind() binds the socket to a local endpoint and then accepts
incoming connections on that endpoint. See endpoint next for details.
zmq.connect() connects the socket to a remote endpoint and then
accepts outgoing connections on that endpoint. See endpoint next for
details.
endpoint is a string consisting of a transport :// followed by an
address. The transport specifies the underlying protocol to use. The address
specifies the transport-specific address to bind to. pbdZMQ/ZMQ provides
the following transports:
| Transport | Usage |
tcp
| unicast transport using TCP |
ipc | local inter-process communication transport |
inproc | local in-process (inter-thread) communication transport |
pgm,epgm | reliable multicast transport using PGM |
*** warning: epgm is not turned on by
default in the pbdZMQ's internal ZeroMQ library.
*** warning: ipc
is not supported in Windows system.
zmq.setsockopt() is to set/change socket options.
zmq.getsockopt() is to get socket options and returns
option.value.
zmq.socket() returns an R external pointer (socket)
generated by ZMQ C API pointing to a socket if successful, otherwise returns
an R NULL and sets errno to the error value, see ZeroMQ manual
for details.
zmq.close() destroys the socket reference/pointer (socket) and
returns 0 if successful, otherwise returns -1 and sets errno to the
error value, see ZeroMQ manual for details.
zmq.bind() binds the socket to specific endpoint and returns 0
if successful, otherwise returns -1 and sets errno to the error
value, see ZeroMQ manual for details.
zmq.connect() connects the socket to specific endpoint and
returns 0 if successful, otherwise returns -1 and sets errno to the
error value, see ZeroMQ manual for details.
zmq.setsockopt() sets/changes the socket option and returns 0 if
successful, otherwise returns -1 and sets errno to the error value,
see ZeroMQ manual for details.
zmq.getsockopt() returns the value of socket option,
see ZeroMQ manual for details.
