Overview

The ZeroMQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products. ZeroMQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols and more.

This documentation describes the internal software that makes up the ZeroMQ C++ core engine, and not how to use its API, however it may help you understand certain aspects better, such as the callgraph of an API method. There are no instructions on using ZeroMQ within this documentation, only the API internals that make up the software.

Note: this documentation is generated directly from the source code with Doxygen. Since this project is constantly under active development, what you are about to read may be out of date! If you notice any errors in the documentation, or the code comments, then please send a pull request.

Please refer to the README file for anything else.
