NAME

zmq_cpp - interface between 0MQ and C++ applications

SYNOPSIS

#include <zmq.hpp>

c++ [flags] files -lzmq [libraries]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes how the 0MQ C++ language binding maps to the underlying 0MQ C library functions.

All 0MQ constants defined by zmq.h are also available to the C++ language binding.

The following classes are provided in the zmq namespace:

Context

The context_t class encapsulates functionality dealing with the initialisation and termination of a 0MQ context.


Constructor


 context_t::context_t(int io_threads)
 

Maps to the zmq_init() function, as described in zmq_init(3).


Destructor


 context_t::~context_t(void)
 

Maps to the zmq_term() function, as described in zmq_term(3).


Methods


None.
 

Socket

The socket_t class encapsulates a 0MQ socket.


Constructor


 socket_t::socket_t(context_t &context, int type)
 

Maps to the zmq_socket() function, as described in zmq_socket(3).


Destructor


 socket_t::~socket_t(void)
 

Calls the zmq_close() function, as described in zmq_close(3).


Methods


 void socket_t::getsockopt(int option_name, void *option_value, size_t
 *option_len)
 

Maps to the zmq_getsockopt() function, as described in zmq_getsockopt(3).

 void socket_t::setsockopt(int option_name, const void *option_value, size_t
 option_len)
 

Maps to the zmq_setsockopt() function, as described in zmq_setsockopt(3).

 void socket_t::bind(const char *endpoint)
 

Maps to the zmq_bind() function, as described in zmq_bind(3).

 void socket_t::connect(const char *endpoint)
 

Maps to the zmq_connect() function, as described in zmq_connect(3).

 bool socket_t::send(message_t &msg, int flags = 0)
 

Maps to the zmq_send() function, as described in zmq_send(3).

 bool socket_t::recv(message_t *msg, int flags = 0)
 

Maps to the zmq_recv() function, as described in zmq_recv(3).

Message

The zmq::message_t class encapsulates the zmq_msg_t structure and functions to construct, destruct and manipulate 0MQ messages.


Constructor


 message_t::message_t(void)
 message_t::message_t(size_t size)
 message_t::message_t(void *data, size_t size, free_fn *ffn)
 

These map to the zmq_msg_init(), zmq_msg_init_size() and zmq_msg_init_data() functions, described in zmq_msg_init(3), zmq_msg_init_size(3) and zmq_msg_init_data(3) respectively.


Destructor


 message_t::~message_t(void)
 

Calls the zmq_msg_close() function, as described in zmq_msg_close(3).


Methods


 void *message_t::data (void)
 

Maps to the zmq_msg_data() function, as described in zmq_msg_data(3).

 size_t message_t::size (void)
 

Maps to the zmq_msg_size() function, as described in zmq_msg_size(3).

 void message_t::copy (message_t *src)
 

Maps to the zmq_msg_copy() function, as described in zmq_msg_copy(3).

 void message_t::move (message_t *src)
 

Maps to the zmq_msg_move() function, as described in zmq_msg_move(3).

 message_t::rebuild(void)
 message_t::rebuild(size_t size)
 message_t::rebuild(void *data, size_t size, free_fn *ffn)
 

Equivalent to calling the zmq_msg_close() function followed by the corresponding zmq_msg_init() function.

Input/output multiplexing

The poll() function is a namespaced equivalent of the zmq_poll() function, as described in zmq_poll(3).


Note

To obtain a 0MQ socket for use in a zmq_pollitem_t structure, you should cast an instance of the socket_t class to (void *).

ERROR HANDLING

All errors reported by the underlying 0MQ C library functions are automatically converted to exceptions by the C++ language binding. The zmq::error_t class is derived from the std::exception class and uses the zmq_strerror() function to convert the error code to human-readable string.

EXAMPLE

 zmq::context_t ctx (1);
 zmq::socket_t s (ctx, ZMQ_PUB);
 s.connect ("tcp://192.168.0.115:5555");
 zmq::message_t msg (100);
 memset (msg.data (), 0, 100);
 s.send (msg);
