Pieter Hintjens 67e02ca8bc Use of named authors on man pages is no longer a good idea since it puts off
contributors and doesn't reflect the real process. I've taken out all named
authors and referred to the contribution policy. Hopefully this will improve
the contributions to the man pages.

zmq_ctx_socket_monitor(3)
=========================
NAME
----
zmq_socket_monitor - register a monitoring callback
SYNOPSIS
--------
*int zmq_socket_monitor (void '*socket', char * '*addr', int 'events');*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _zmq_socket_monitor()_ function shall spawn a 'PAIR' socket that publishes
socket state changes (events) over the inproc:// transport to a given endpoint.
Messages consist of 2 Frames, the first containing the event-id and the
associated value. The second frame holds the affected endpoint as string.
The layout of the first Frame is:
16 bit event id
32 bit event value
event id and value are in the native byte order (for the machine the
application is running on). There is no padding between the fields.
The event value has to be interpreted in the context of the event id.
See 'Supported events' below for details.
----
Only connection oriented (tcp and ipc) transports are supported in this initial
implementation.
----
Supported events
----------------
ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECTED: connection established
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECTED' event triggers when a connection has been established
to a remote peer. This can happen either synchronous or asynchronous.
Value is the FD of the newly connected socket.
ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECT_DELAYED: synchronous connect failed, it's being polled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECT_DELAYED' event triggers when an immediate connection
attempt is delayed and its completion is being polled for.
Value has no meaning.
ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECT_RETRIED: asynchronous connect / reconnection attempt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECT_RETRIED' event triggers when a connection attempt
is being handled by reconnect timer. The reconnect interval's recomputed
for each attempt.
Value is the reconnect interval.
ZMQ_EVENT_LISTENING: socket bound to an address, ready to accept connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_LISTENING' event triggers when a socket's successfully bound
to a an interface.
Value is the FD of the newly bound socket.
ZMQ_EVENT_BIND_FAILED: socket could not bind to an address
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_BIND_FAILED' event triggers when a socket could not bind to
a given interface.
Value is the errno generated by the bind call.
ZMQ_EVENT_ACCEPTED: connection accepted to bound interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_ACCEPTED' event triggers when a connection from a remote peer
has been established with a socket's listen address.
Value is the FD of the accepted socket.
ZMQ_EVENT_ACCEPT_FAILED: could not accept client connection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_ACCEPT_FAILED' event triggers when a connection attempt to
a socket's bound address fails.
Value is the errno generated by accept.
ZMQ_EVENT_CLOSED: connection closed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_CLOSED' event triggers when a connection's underlying descriptor
has been closed.
Value is the former FD of the for the closed socket. FD has been closed already!
ZMQ_EVENT_CLOSE_FAILED: connection couldn't be closed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_CLOSE_FAILED' event triggers when a descriptor could not be
released back to the OS. Implementation note: ONLY FOR IPC SOCKETS.
Value is the errno generated by unlink.
ZMQ_EVENT_DISCONNECTED: broken session
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENT_DISCONNECTED' event triggers when the stream engine (tcp and ipc
specific) detects a corrupted / broken session.
Value is the FD of the socket.
RETURN VALUE
------------
The _zmq_socket_monitor()_ 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
------
*ETERM*::
The 0MQ 'context' associated with the specified 'socket' was terminated.
*EPROTONOSUPPORT*::
The requested 'transport' protocol is not supported. Monitor sockets are
required to use the inproc:// transport.
*EINVAL*::
The endpoint supplied is invalid.
