+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.
