ZeroMQ🔗ℹ

Jay McCarthy <jay@racket-lang.org>

 (require net/zmq) package: zeromq

This package provides a binding for the ZeroMQ library.

This documentation does not describe meaning of API calls; it only describes their Racket calling conventions. For details on API semantics, refer to the documentation at the ZeroMQ site.

zmq_msg_init_data is not supported, because Racket pointers may be moved by the garbage collector before the ZeroMQ library is done with them.

  x : any/c
Determines if x is a pointer to a ZeroMQ context.

procedure

(socket? x)  boolean?
