zmq_connect(3)

==============

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
zmq_connect - connect a socket to a peer address
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*int zmq_connect (void '*socket', const char '*address');*
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
The _zmq_connect()_ function shall connect the socket referenced by the
|
|
'socket' argument to a peer address specified by the 'address' argument.
|
|
|
|
The 'address' argument is a string consisting of two parts as follows:
|
|
'transport'`://`'endpoint'. The 'transport' part specifies the underlying
|
|
transport protocol to use. The meaning of the 'endpoint' part is specific to
|
|
the underlying transport protocol selected.
|
|
|
|
The following transports are defined:
|
|
|
|
'tcp':: unicast transport using TCP, see linkzmq:zmq_tcp[7]
|
|
'pgm', 'epgm':: reliable multicast transport using PGM, see linkzmq:zmq_pgm[7]
|
|
'ipc':: local inter-process communication transport, see linkzmq:zmq_ipc[7]
|
|
'inproc':: local in-process (inter-thread) communication transport, see linkzmq:zmq_inproc[7]
|
|
|
|
A single socket may be connected to an arbitrary number of peer addresses using
|
|
_zmq_connect()_, while also having an arbitrary number of local addresses
|
|
assigned to it using _zmq_bind()_.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The connection will not be performed immediately but as needed by 0MQ.
|
|
Thus a successful invocation of _zmq_connect()_ does not indicate that a
|
|
physical connection was or can actually be established.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
------------
|
|
The _zmq_connect()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it
|
|
shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ERRORS
|
|
------
|
|
*EPROTONOSUPPORT*::
|
|
The requested 'transport' protocol is not supported.
|
|
*ENOCOMPATPROTO*::
|
|
The requested 'transport' protocol is not compatible with the socket type.
|
|
*ETERM*::
|
|
The associated context was terminted.

/* Create a ZMQ_SUB socket */

/* Connect it to an in-process transport with the endpoint 'my_publisher' */
|
|
int rc = zmq_connect (socket, "inproc://my_publisher");
|
|

|
|
/* Connect it to the host server001, port 5555 using a TCP transport */
|
|
rc = zmq_connect (socket, "tcp://server001:5555");
