ZMQ_SOCKET_MONITOR(3) 0MQ Manual ZMQ_SOCKET_MONITOR(3)NAMEzmq_socket_monitor - monitor socket events
SYNOPSIS
int zmq_socket_monitor (void *socket, char *endpoint, int events);
DESCRIPTION
The zmq_socket_monitor() method lets an application thread track socket
events (like connects) on a ZeroMQ socket. Each call to this method
creates a ZMQ_PAIR socket and binds that to the specified inproc://
endpoint. To collect the socket events, you must create your own
ZMQ_PAIR socket, and connect that to the endpoint.
The events argument is a bitmask of the socket events you wish to
monitor, see Supported events below. To monitor all events, use the
event value ZMQ_EVENT_ALL.
Each event is sent as two frames. The first frame contains an event
number (16 bits), and an event value (32 bits) that provides additional
data according to the event number. The second frame contains a string
that specifies the affected TCP or IPC endpoint.
The _zmq_socket_monitor()_ method supports only connection-oriented
transports, that is, TCP, IPC, and TIPC.
SUPPORTED EVENTS
ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECTED
The socket has successfully connected to a remote peer. The event value
is the file descriptor (FD) of the underlying network socket. Warning:
there is no guarantee that the FD is still valid by the time your code
receives this event.
ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECT_DELAYED
A connect request on the socket is pending. The event value is
unspecified.
ZMQ_EVENT_CONNECT_RETRIED
A connect request failed, and is now being retried. The event value is
the reconnect interval in milliseconds. Note that the reconnect
interval is recalculated at each retry.
ZMQ_EVENT_LISTENING
The socket was successfully bound to a network interface. The event
value is the FD of the underlying network socket. Warning: there is no
guarantee that the FD is still valid by the time your code receives
this event.
ZMQ_EVENT_BIND_FAILED
The socket could not bind to a given interface. The event value is the
errno generated by the system bind call.
ZMQ_EVENT_ACCEPTED
The socket has accepted a connection from a remote peer. The event
value is the FD of the underlying network socket. Warning: there is no
guarantee that the FD is still valid by the time your code receives
this event.
ZMQ_EVENT_ACCEPT_FAILED
The socket has rejected a connection from a remote peer. The event
value is the errno generated by the accept call.
ZMQ_EVENT_CLOSED
The socket was closed. The event value is the FD of the (now closed)
network socket.
ZMQ_EVENT_CLOSE_FAILED
The socket close failed. The event value is the errno returned by the
system call. Note that this event occurs only on IPC transports.
ZMQ_EVENT_DISCONNECTED
The socket was disconnected unexpectedly. The event value is the FD of
the underlying network socket. Warning: this socket will be closed.
ZMQ_EVENT_MONITOR_STOPPED
Monitoring on this socket ended.
RETURN VALUE
The zmq_socket_monitor() function returns a value of 0 or greater if
successful. Otherwise it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values
defined below.
ERRORS
ETERM
The 0MQ context associated with the specified socket was
terminated.
EPROTONOSUPPORT
The requested transport protocol is not supported. Monitor sockets
are required to use the inproc:// transport.
EINVAL
The endpoint supplied is invalid.
EXAMPLE
Monitoring client and server sockets.
// Read one event off the monitor socket; return value and address
// by reference, if not null, and event number by value. Returns -1
// in case of error.
static int

uint16_t event = *(uint16_t *) (data);

// Second frame in message contains event address
