.SH "NAME"
zmq_proxy_steerable \- built\-in 0MQ proxy with control flow
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBint zmq_proxy_steerable (const void \fR\fB\fI*frontend\fR\fR\fB, const void \fR\fB\fI*backend\fR\fR\fB, const void \fR\fB\fI*capture\fR\fR\fB, const void \fR\fB\fI*control\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_proxy_steerable()\fR function starts the built\-in 0MQ proxy in the current application thread, as \fIzmq_proxy()\fR do\&. Please, refer to this function for the general description and usage\&. We describe here only the additional control flow provided by the socket passed as the fourth argument "control"\&.
.sp
If the control socket is not NULL, the proxy supports control flow\&. If \fIPAUSE\fR is received on this socket, the proxy suspends its activities\&. If \fIRESUME\fR is received, it goes on\&. If \fITERMINATE\fR is received, it terminates smoothly\&. At start, the proxy runs normally as if zmq_proxy was used\&.
.sp
If the control socket is NULL, the function behave exactly as if zmq_proxy had been called\&.
.sp
Refer to \fBzmq_socket\fR(3) for a description of the available socket types\&. Refer to \fBzmq_proxy\fR(3) for a description of the zmq_proxy\&.
.SH "EXAMPLE USAGE"
.sp
cf zmq_proxy
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fIzmq_proxy_steerable()\fR function returns 0 if TERMINATE is sent to its control socket\&. Otherwise, it returns \-1 and \fIerrno\fR set to \fBETERM\fR (the 0MQ \fIcontext\fR associated with either of the specified sockets was terminated)\&.
