zmq_term(3)

SYNOPSIS

int zmq_term (void *context);

The zmq_term() function shall terminate the ØMQ context context.

Context termination is performed in the following steps:

+
+Any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open within + context shall return immediately with an error code of ETERM. With the + exception of zmq_close(), any further operations on sockets open within + context shall fail with an error code of ETERM. +
+
+
+After interrupting all blocking calls, zmq_term() shall block until the + following conditions are satisfied: +
+
- +
  +All sockets open within context have been closed with zmq_close(). +
  +
- +
  +For each socket within context, all messages sent by the application + with zmq_send() have either been physically transferred to a network + peer, or the socket’s linger period set with the ZMQ_LINGER socket + option has expired. +
  +
+

For further details regarding socket linger behaviour refer to the ZMQ_LINGER +option in zmq_setsockopt(3).

This function is deprecated by zmq_ctx_term(3).

The zmq_term() function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall +return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.

+EFAULT +: +
+The provided context was invalid. +
+
+EINTR +: +
+Termination was interrupted by a signal. It can be restarted if needed. +
