.SH "NAME"

|
zmq_proxy \- start built\-in 0MQ proxy
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBint zmq_proxy (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);\fR
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \fIzmq_proxy()\fR function starts the built\-in 0MQ proxy in the current application thread\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The proxy connects a frontend socket to a backend socket\&. Conceptually, data flows from frontend to backend\&. Depending on the socket types, replies may flow in the opposite direction\&. The direction is conceptual only; the proxy is fully symmetric and there is no technical difference between frontend and backend\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Before calling \fIzmq_proxy()\fR you must set any socket options, and connect or bind both frontend and backend sockets\&. The two conventional proxy models are:
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fIzmq_proxy()\fR runs in the current thread and returns only if/when the current context is closed\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If the capture socket is not NULL, the proxy shall send all messages, received on both frontend and backend, to the capture socket\&. The capture socket should be a \fIZMQ_PUB\fR, \fIZMQ_DEALER\fR, \fIZMQ_PUSH\fR, or \fIZMQ_PAIR\fR socket\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Refer to \fBzmq_socket\fR(3) for a description of the available socket types\&.
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLE USAGE"
|
|
.SS "Shared Queue"
|
|
.sp
|
|
When the frontend is a ZMQ_ROUTER socket, and the backend is a ZMQ_DEALER socket, the proxy shall act as a shared queue that collects requests from a set of clients, and distributes these fairly among a set of services\&. Requests shall be fair\-queued from frontend connections and distributed evenly across backend connections\&. Replies shall automatically return to the client that made the original request\&.
|
|
.SS "Forwarder"
|
|
.sp
|
|
When the frontend is a ZMQ_XSUB socket, and the backend is a ZMQ_XPUB socket, the proxy shall act as a message forwarder that collects messages from a set of publishers and forwards these to a set of subscribers\&. This may be used to bridge networks transports, e\&.g\&. read on tcp:// and forward on pgm://\&.
|
|
.SS "Streamer"
|
|
.sp
|
|
When the frontend is a ZMQ_PULL socket, and the backend is a ZMQ_PUSH socket, the proxy shall collect tasks from a set of clients and forwards these to a set of workers using the pipeline pattern\&.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \fIzmq_proxy()\fR function always returns \-1 and \fIerrno\fR set to \fBETERM\fR or \fBEINTR\fR (the 0MQ \fIcontext\fR associated with either of the specified sockets was terminated)\&.
