zmq_getsockopt - get 0MQ socket options


SYNOPSIS
--------
*int zmq_getsockopt (void '*socket', int 'option_name', void '*option_value', size_t '*option_len');*


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _zmq_getsockopt()_ function shall retrieve the value for the option
specified by the 'option_name' argument for the 0MQ socket pointed to by the
'socket' argument, and store it in the buffer pointed to by the 'option_value'
argument. The 'option_len' argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed
to by 'option_value'; upon successful completion _zmq_getsockopt()_ shall
modify the 'option_len' argument to indicate the actual size of the option
value stored in the buffer.

The following options can be retrieved with the _zmq_getsockopt()_ function:


ZMQ_TYPE: Retrieve socket type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_TYPE' option shall retrieve the socket type for the specified
'socket'.  The socket type is specified at socket creation time and
cannot be modified afterwards.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: N/A
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_RCVMORE: More message data parts to follow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RCVMORE' option shall return True (1) if the message part last
received from the 'socket' was a data part with more parts to follow. If there
are no data parts to follow, this option shall return False (0).

Refer to linkzmq:zmq_send[3] and linkzmq:zmq_recv[3] for a detailed description
of multi-part messages.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: N/A
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_SNDHWM: Retrieves high water mark for outbound messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_SNDHWM' option shall return the high water mark for outbound messages
on the specified 'socket'. The high water mark is a hard limit on the maximum
number of outstanding messages 0MQ shall queue in memory for any single peer
that the specified 'socket' is communicating with. A value of zero means no
limit.

If this limit has been reached the socket shall enter an exceptional state and
depending on the socket type, 0MQ shall take appropriate action such as
blocking or dropping sent messages. Refer to the individual socket descriptions
in linkzmq:zmq_socket[3] for details on the exact action taken for each socket
type.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: messages
Default value:: 1000
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_RCVHWM: Retrieve high water mark for inbound messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RCVHWM' option shall return the high water mark for inbound messages on
the specified 'socket'. The high water mark is a hard limit on the maximum
number of outstanding messages 0MQ shall queue in memory for any single peer
that the specified 'socket' is communicating with. A value of zero means no
limit.

If this limit has been reached the socket shall enter an exceptional state and
depending on the socket type, 0MQ shall take appropriate action such as
blocking or dropping sent messages. Refer to the individual socket descriptions
in linkzmq:zmq_socket[3] for details on the exact action taken for each socket
type.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: messages
Default value:: 1000
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_AFFINITY: Retrieve I/O thread affinity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_AFFINITY' option shall retrieve the I/O thread affinity for newly
created connections on the specified 'socket'.

Affinity determines which threads from the 0MQ I/O thread pool associated with
the socket's _context_ shall handle newly created connections.  A value of zero
specifies no affinity, meaning that work shall be distributed fairly among all
0MQ I/O threads in the thread pool. For non-zero values, the lowest bit
corresponds to thread 1, second lowest bit to thread 2 and so on.  For example,
a value of 3 specifies that subsequent connections on 'socket' shall be handled
exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2.

See also linkzmq:zmq_init[3] for details on allocating the number of I/O
threads for a specific _context_.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: uint64_t
Option value unit:: N/A (bitmap)
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: N/A


ZMQ_IDENTITY: Retrieve socket identity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_IDENTITY' option shall retrieve the identity of the specified 'socket'.
Socket identity is used only by request/reply pattern. Namely, it can be used
in tandem with ROUTER socket to route messages to the peer with specific
identity.

Identity should be at least one byte and at most 255 bytes long. Identities
starting with binary zero are reserved for use by 0MQ infrastructure.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_REP, ZMQ_REQ, ZMQ_ROUTER, ZMQ_DEALER.


ZMQ_RATE: Retrieve multicast data rate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RATE' option shall retrieve the maximum send or receive data rate for
multicast transports using the specified 'socket'.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: kilobits per second
Default value:: 100
Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports


ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL: Get multicast recovery interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL' option shall retrieve the recovery interval for
multicast transports using the specified 'socket'.  The recovery interval
determines the maximum time in milliseconds that a receiver can be absent from a
multicast group before unrecoverable data loss will occur.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 10000
Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports


ZMQ_SNDBUF: Retrieve kernel transmit buffer size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_SNDBUF' option shall retrieve the underlying kernel transmit buffer
size for the specified 'socket'. A value of zero means that the OS default is
in effect. For details refer to your operating system documentation for the
'SO_SNDBUF' socket option.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: bytes
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_RCVBUF: Retrieve kernel receive buffer size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RCVBUF' option shall retrieve the underlying kernel receive buffer
size for the specified 'socket'. A value of zero means that the OS default is
in effect. For details refer to your operating system documentation for the
'SO_RCVBUF' socket option.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: bytes
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_LINGER: Retrieve linger period for socket shutdown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_LINGER' option shall retrieve the linger period for the specified
'socket'.  The linger period determines how long pending messages which have
yet to be sent to a peer shall linger in memory after a socket is closed with
linkzmq:zmq_close[3], and further affects the termination of the socket's
context with linkzmq:zmq_term[3]. The following outlines the different
behaviours:

* The default value of '-1' specifies an infinite linger period. Pending
  messages shall not be discarded after a call to _zmq_close()_; attempting to
  terminate the socket's context with _zmq_term()_ shall block until all
  pending messages have been sent to a peer.

* The value of '0' specifies no linger period. Pending messages shall be
  discarded immediately when the socket is closed with _zmq_close()_.

* Positive values specify an upper bound for the linger period in milliseconds.
  Pending messages shall not be discarded after a call to _zmq_close()_;
  attempting to terminate the socket's context with _zmq_term()_ shall block
  until either all pending messages have been sent to a peer, or the linger
  period expires, after which any pending messages shall be discarded.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: -1 (infinite)
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL: Retrieve reconnection interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL' option shall retrieve the initial reconnection interval
for the specified 'socket'.  The reconnection interval is the period 0MQ shall
wait between attempts to reconnect disconnected peers when using
connection-oriented transports. The value -1 means no reconnection.

NOTE: The reconnection interval may be randomized by 0MQ to prevent
reconnection storms in topologies with a large number of peers per socket.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 100
Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX: Retrieve maximum reconnection interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX' option shall retrieve the maximum reconnection
interval for the specified 'socket'.  This is the maximum period 0MQ shall wait
between attempts to reconnect. On each reconnect attempt, the previous interval
shall be doubled untill ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX is reached. This allows for
exponential backoff strategy. Default value means no exponential backoff is
performed and reconnect interval calculations are only based on
ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL.

NOTE:  Values less than ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL will be ignored.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 0 (only use ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL)
Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transport


ZMQ_BACKLOG: Retrieve maximum length of the queue of outstanding connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_BACKLOG' option shall retrieve the maximum length of the queue of
outstanding peer connections for the specified 'socket'; this only applies to
connection-oriented transports. For details refer to your operating system
documentation for the 'listen' function.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: connections
Default value:: 100
Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_MAXMSGSIZE: Maximum acceptable inbound message size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The option shall retrieve limit for the inbound messages. If a peer sends
a message larger than ZMQ_MAXMSGSIZE it is disconnected. Value of -1 means
'no limit'.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int64_t
Option value unit:: bytes
Default value:: -1
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_MULTICAST_HOPS: Maximum network hops for multicast packets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The option shall retrieve time-to-live used for outbound multicast packets.
The default of 1 means that the multicast packets don't leave the local network.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: network hops
Default value:: 1
Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports


ZMQ_RCVTIMEO: Maximum time before a socket operation returns with EAGAIN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retrieve the timeout for recv operation on the socket.  If the value is `0`,
_zmq_recv(3)_ will return immediately, with a EAGAIN error if there is no
message to receive. If the value is `-1`, it will block until a message is
available. For all other values, it will wait for a message for that amount
of time before returning with an EAGAIN error.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: -1 (infinite)
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_SNDTIMEO: Maximum time before a socket operation returns with EAGAIN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retrieve the timeout for send operation on the socket. If the value is `0`,
_zmq_send(3)_ will return immediately, with a EAGAIN error if the message
cannot be sent. If the value is `-1`, it will block until the message is sent.
For all other values, it will try to send the message for that amount of time
before returning with an EAGAIN error.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: -1 (infinite)
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_IPV6: Retrieve IPv6 socket status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retrieve the IPv6 option for the socket. A value of `1` means IPv6 is
enabled on the socket, while `0` means the socket will use only IPv4.
When IPv6 is enabled the socket will connect to, or accept connections
from, both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transports.


ZMQ_IPV4ONLY: Retrieve IPv4-only socket override status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retrieve the IPv4-only option for the socket. This option is deprecated.
Please use the ZMQ_IPV6 option.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: 1 (true)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transports.


ZMQ_IMMEDIATE: Retrieve attach-on-connect value
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retrieve the state of the attach on connect value. If set to `1`, will delay the
attachment of a pipe on connect until the underlying connection has completed.
This will cause the socket to block if there are no other connections, but will
prevent queues from filling on pipes awaiting connection.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: all, primarily when using TCP/IPC transports.


ZMQ_FD: Retrieve file descriptor associated with the socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_FD' option shall retrieve the file descriptor associated with the
specified 'socket'. The returned file descriptor can be used to integrate the
socket into an existing event loop; the 0MQ library shall signal any pending
events on the socket in an _edge-triggered_ fashion by making the file
descriptor become ready for reading.

NOTE: The ability to read from the returned file descriptor does not
necessarily indicate that messages are available to be read from, or can be
written to, the underlying socket; applications must retrieve the actual event
state with a subsequent retrieval of the 'ZMQ_EVENTS' option.

NOTE: The returned file descriptor is also used internally by the 'zmq_send'
and 'zmq_recv' functions. As the descriptor is edge triggered, applications
must update the state of 'ZMQ_EVENTS' after each invocation of 'zmq_send'
or 'zmq_recv'.To be more explicit: after calling 'zmq_send' the socket may
become readable (and vice versa) without triggering a read event on the
file descriptor.

CAUTION: The returned file descriptor is intended for use with a 'poll' or
similar system call only. Applications must never attempt to read or write data
to it directly, neither should they try to close it.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int on POSIX systems, SOCKET on Windows
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: N/A
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_EVENTS: Retrieve socket event state
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_EVENTS' option shall retrieve the event state for the specified
'socket'.  The returned value is a bit mask constructed by OR'ing a combination
of the following event flags:

*ZMQ_POLLIN*::
Indicates that at least one message may be received from the specified socket
without blocking.

*ZMQ_POLLOUT*::
Indicates that at least one message may be sent to the specified socket without
blocking.

The combination of a file descriptor returned by the 'ZMQ_FD' option being
ready for reading but no actual events returned by a subsequent retrieval of
the 'ZMQ_EVENTS' option is valid; applications should simply ignore this case
and restart their polling operation/event loop.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: N/A (flags)
Default value:: N/A
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT: Retrieve the last endpoint set
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT' option shall retrieve the last endpoint bound for
TCP and IPC transports. The returned value will be a string in the form of
