+.SH "NAME"
+zmq_inproc \- 0MQ local in\-process (inter\-thread) communication transport
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+The in\-process transport passes messages via memory directly between threads sharing a single 0MQ \fIcontext\fR\&.

+.sp
+No I/O threads are involved in passing messages using the \fIinproc\fR transport\&. Therefore, if you are using a 0MQ \fIcontext\fR for in\-process messaging only you can initialise the \fIcontext\fR with zero I/O threads\&. See \fBzmq_init\fR(3) for details\&.

+.SH "ADDRESSING"
+.sp
+A 0MQ endpoint is a string consisting of a \fItransport\fR:// followed by an \fIaddress\fR\&. The \fItransport\fR specifies the underlying protocol to use\&. The \fIaddress\fR specifies the transport\-specific address to connect to\&.
+.sp
+For the in\-process transport, the transport is inproc, and the meaning of the \fIaddress\fR part is defined below\&.
+.SS "Assigning a local address to a socket"
+.sp
+When assigning a local address to a \fIsocket\fR using \fIzmq_bind()\fR with the \fIinproc\fR transport, the \fIendpoint\fR shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string identifying the \fIname\fR to create\&. The \fIname\fR must be unique within the 0MQ \fIcontext\fR associated with the \fIsocket\fR and may be up to 256 characters in length\&. No other restrictions are placed on the format of the \fIname\fR\&.
+.SS "Connecting a socket"
+.sp
+When connecting a \fIsocket\fR to a peer address using \fIzmq_connect()\fR with the \fIinproc\fR transport, the \fIendpoint\fR shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string identifying the \fIname\fR to connect to\&. The \fIname\fR must have been previously created by assigning it to at least one \fIsocket\fR within the same 0MQ \fIcontext\fR as the \fIsocket\fR being connected\&.
