## Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ZeroMQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the
|
|
|
|
standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by
|
|
|
|
specialised messaging middleware products. ZeroMQ sockets provide an
|
|
|
|
abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns,
|
|
|
|
message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport
|
|
|
|
protocols and more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This documentation describes the internal software that makes up the
|
|
|
|
ZeroMQ C++ core engine, and not how to use its API, however it may help
|
|
|
|
you understand certain aspects better, such as the callgraph of an API method.
|
|
|
|
There are no instructions on using ZeroMQ within this documentation, only
|
|
|
|
the API internals that make up the software.

**Note:** this documentation is generated directly from the source code with

|
are about to read may be out of date! If you notice any errors in the
