Francesco Montorsi b6ca9b2983 Feature: modernize API documentation
* migrate from the old, unmaintained "asciidoc-py" tool to the new "asciidoctor" generator
* migrate from asciidoc-py syntax to the modern Asciidoc syntax (especially page titles and section titles)
* remove the need of "xmlto" utility to create the manpage output; use asciidoctor for that
* add HTML output support to the doc/Makefile by using asciidoctor
* change API documentation files extension from .txt to .adoc to make it more explicit that they are Asciidoc-encoded (as a bonus several IDE plugins will autodetect the .adoc format as Asciidoc)
* remove asciidoc.conf: asciidoctor does not support that; this also required replacing the macro linkzmq into all documentation pages
* add a new Github action CI do deploy to Github Pages the static HTMLs produced by Asciidoctors
* removed references to the "xmlto" and "a2x" tools from the build and packaging systems: Asciidoctor can convert the documentation directly to e.g. pdf (via extended converters) and anyway there was no code/target for using "xmlto" and "a2x" tools anyway

== NAME
zmq_ctx_get_ext - get extended context options
== SYNOPSIS
*int zmq_ctx_get_ext (void '*context', int 'option_name', void '*option_value', size_t '*option_len');*
== DESCRIPTION
The _zmq_ctx_get()_ function shall retrieve the value for the option
specified by the 'option_name' argument and store it in the buffer pointed to
by the 'option_value' argument.
The 'option_len' argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed
to by 'option_value'; upon successful completion _zmq_ctx_get_ext()_ shall
modify the 'option_len' argument to indicate the actual size of the option
value stored in the buffer.
The _zmq_ctx_get_ext()_ function accepts all the option names accepted by
_zmq_ctx_get()_.
Options that make most sense to retrieve using _zmq_ctx_get_ext()_ instead of
_zmq_ctx_get()_ are:
ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX: Get name prefix for I/O threads
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX' argument gets the string prefix of each thread
created for the internal context's thread pool.
[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: empty string
== RETURN VALUE
The _zmq_ctx_get_ext()_ function returns a value of 0 or greater if successful.
Otherwise it returns `-1` and sets 'errno' to one of the values defined
below.
== ERRORS
*EINVAL*::
The requested option _option_name_ is unknown.
*EFAULT*::
The provided 'context' is invalid.
== EXAMPLE
.Setting a prefix on internal ZMQ thread names:
----
void *context = zmq_ctx_new ();
const char prefix[] = "MyApp";
size_t prefixLen = sizeof(prefix);
zmq_ctx_set (context, ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX, &prefix, &prefixLen);
char buff[256];
size_t buffLen = sizeof(buff);
int rc = zmq_ctx_get (context, ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX, &buff, &buffLen);
assert (rc == 0);
assert (buffLen == prefixLen);
