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); +---- + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkzmq:zmq_bind[3] +linkzmq:zmq_connect[3] +linkzmq:zmq_ipc[7] +linkzmq:zmq_tcp[7] +linkzmq:zmq_pgm[7] +linkzmq:zmq[7] + + +AUTHORS +------- +This page was written by the 0MQ community.
