+NAME
+----
+zmq_inproc - 0MQ local in-process (inter-thread) communication transport
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+The in-process transport passes messages via memory directly between threads
+sharing a single 0MQ 'context'.
+
+NOTE: No I/O threads are involved in passing messages using the 'inproc'
+transport. Therefore, if you are using a 0MQ 'context' for in-process messaging
+only you can initialise the 'context' with zero I/O threads. See
+linkzmq:zmq_init[3] for details.
+
+
+ADDRESSING
+----------
+A 0MQ endpoint is a string consisting of a 'transport'`://` followed by an
+'address'. The 'transport' specifies the underlying protocol to use. The
+'address' specifies the transport-specific address to connect to.
+
+For the in-process transport, the transport is `inproc`, and the meaning of
+the 'address' part is defined below.
+
+
+Assigning a local address to a socket
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When assigning a local address to a 'socket' using _zmq_bind()_ with the
+'inproc' transport, the 'endpoint' shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string
+identifying the 'name' to create. The 'name' must be unique within the 0MQ
+'context' associated with the 'socket' and may be up to 256 characters in
+length.  No other restrictions are placed on the format of the 'name'.
+
+
+Connecting a socket
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When connecting a 'socket' to a peer address using _zmq_connect()_ with the
+'inproc' transport, the 'endpoint' shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string
+identifying the 'name' to connect to.  The 'name' must have been previously
+created by assigning it to at least one 'socket' within the same 0MQ 'context'
+as the 'socket' being connected.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+.Assigning a local address to a socket
+----
+//  Assign the in-process name "#1"
+rc = zmq_bind(socket, "inproc://#1");
+assert (rc == 0);
+//  Assign the in-process name "my-endpoint"
+rc = zmq_bind(socket, "inproc://my-endpoint");
+assert (rc == 0);
+----
+
+.Connecting a socket
+----
+//  Connect to the in-process name "#1"
+rc = zmq_connect(socket, "inproc://#1");
+assert (rc == 0);
+//  Connect to the in-process name "my-endpoint"
+rc = zmq_connect(socket, "inproc://my-endpoint");
+assert (rc == 0);
