=================


NAME
----

zmq_setsockopt - set 0MQ socket options


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

Caution: All options, with the exception of ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE, ZMQ_UNSUBSCRIBE,
ZMQ_LINGER, ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER, ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY, ZMQ_PROBE_ROUTER,
ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSE, ZMQ_XPUB_VERBOSER, ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE,
ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED, ZMQ_SNDHWM and ZMQ_RCVHWM, only take effect for
subsequent socket bind/connects.

Specifically, security options take effect for subsequent bind/connect calls,
and can be changed at any time to affect subsequent binds and/or connects.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _zmq_setsockopt()_ function shall set the option specified by the
'option_name' argument to the value pointed to by the 'option_value' argument
for the 0MQ socket pointed to by the 'socket' argument. The 'option_len'
argument is the size of the option value in bytes. For options taking a value of
type "character string", the provided byte data should either contain no zero
bytes, or end in a single zero byte (terminating ASCII NUL character).

The following socket options can be set with the _zmq_setsockopt()_ function:


ZMQ_AFFINITY: Set I/O thread affinity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_AFFINITY' option shall set 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_BACKLOG: Set maximum length of the queue of outstanding connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_BACKLOG' option shall set 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_BINDTODEVICE: Set name of device to bind the socket to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE' option binds this socket to a particular device, eg.
an interface or VRF. If a socket is bound to an interface, only packets
received from that particular interface are processed by the socket. If device
is a VRF device, then subsequent binds/connects to that socket use addresses
in the VRF routing table.

NOTE: requires setting CAP_NET_RAW on the compiled program.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: not set
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP or UDP transports.


ZMQ_BUSY_POLL: This removes delays caused by the interrupt and the resultant context switch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Busy polling helps reduce latency in the network receive path by allowing socket layer code
to poll the receive queue of a network device, and disabling network interrupts. This removes
delays caused by the interrupt and the resultant context switch. However, it also increases
CPU utilization. Busy polling also prevents the CPU from sleeping, which can incur additional
power consumption.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0,1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_CONNECT_RID: Assign the next outbound connection id
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This option name is now deprecated. Use ZMQ_CONNECT_ROUTING_ID instead.
ZMQ_CONNECT_RID remains as an alias for now.


ZMQ_CONNECT_ROUTING_ID: Assign the next outbound routing id
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_CONNECT_ROUTING_ID' option sets the peer id of the peer connected
via the next zmq_connect() call, such that that connection is immediately ready for
data transfer with the given routing id.  This option applies only to the first
subsequent call to zmq_connect(), zmq_connect() calls thereafter use the default
connection behaviour.

Typical use is to set this socket option ahead of each zmq_connect() call.
Each connection MUST be assigned a unique routing id. Assigning a
routing id that is already in use is not allowed.

Useful when connecting ROUTER to ROUTER, or STREAM to STREAM, as it
allows for immediate sending to peers. Outbound routing id framing requirements
for ROUTER and STREAM sockets apply.

The routing id must be from 1 to 255 bytes long and MAY NOT start with
a zero byte (such routing ids are reserved for internal use by the 0MQ
infrastructure).

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


ZMQ_CONFLATE: Keep only last message
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If set, a socket shall keep only one message in its inbound/outbound
queue, this message being the last message received/the last message
to be sent. Ignores 'ZMQ_RCVHWM' and 'ZMQ_SNDHWM' options. Does not
support multi-part messages, in particular, only one part of it is kept
in the socket internal queue.

NOTE: If recv is not called on the inbound socket, the queue and memory will
grow with each message received. Use linkzmq:zmq_getsockopt[3] with ZMQ_EVENTS
to trigger the conflation of the messages.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_PULL, ZMQ_PUSH, ZMQ_SUB, ZMQ_PUB, ZMQ_DEALER


ZMQ_CONNECT_TIMEOUT: Set connect() timeout
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets how long to wait before timing-out a connect() system call.
The connect() system call normally takes a long time before it returns a
time out error. Setting this option allows the library to time out the call
at an earlier interval.

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


ZMQ_CURVE_PUBLICKEY: Set CURVE public key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the socket's long term public key. You must set this on CURVE client
sockets, see linkzmq:zmq_curve[7]. You can provide the key as 32 binary
bytes, or as a 40-character string encoded in the Z85 encoding format and
terminated in a null byte. The public key must always be used with the
matching secret key. To generate a public/secret key pair, use
linkzmq:zmq_curve_keypair[3]. To derive the public key from a secret key,
use linkzmq:zmq_curve_public[3].

NOTE: an option value size of 40 is supported for backwards compatibility,
though is deprecated.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data or Z85 text string
Option value size:: 32 or 41
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_CURVE_SECRETKEY: Set CURVE secret key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the socket's long term secret key. You must set this on both CURVE
client and server sockets, see linkzmq:zmq_curve[7]. You can provide the
key as 32 binary bytes, or as a 40-character string encoded in the Z85
encoding format and terminated in a null byte. To generate a public/secret
key pair, use linkzmq:zmq_curve_keypair[3]. To derive the public key from
a secret key, use linkzmq:zmq_curve_public[3].

NOTE: an option value size of 40 is supported for backwards compatibility,
though is deprecated.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data or Z85 text string
Option value size:: 32 or 41
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_CURVE_SERVER: Set CURVE server role
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defines whether the socket will act as server for CURVE security, see
linkzmq:zmq_curve[7]. A value of '1' means the socket will act as
CURVE server. A value of '0' means the socket will not act as CURVE
server, and its security role then depends on other option settings.
Setting this to '0' shall reset the socket security to NULL. When you
set this you must also set the server's secret key using the
ZMQ_CURVE_SECRETKEY option. A server socket does not need to know
its own public key.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_CURVE_SERVERKEY: Set CURVE server key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the socket's long term server key. You must set this on CURVE client
sockets, see linkzmq:zmq_curve[7]. You can provide the key as 32 binary
bytes, or as a 40-character string encoded in the Z85 encoding format and
terminated in a null byte. This key must have been generated together with
the server's secret key. To generate a public/secret key pair, use
linkzmq:zmq_curve_keypair[3].

NOTE: an option value size of 40 is supported for backwards compatibility,
though is deprecated.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data or Z85 text string
Option value size:: 32 or 41
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport

ZMQ_DISCONNECT_MSG: set a disconnect message that the socket will generate when accepted peer disconnect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When set, the socket will generate a disconnect message when accepted peer has been disconnected.
You may set this on ROUTER, SERVER and PEER sockets.
The combination with ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL is powerful and simplify protocols, when heartbeat recognize a connection drop it
will generate a disconnect message that can match the protocol of the application.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_ROUTER, ZMQ_SERVER and ZMQ_PEER


ZMQ_HICCUP_MSG: set a hiccup message that the socket will generate when connected peer temporarily disconnect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When set, the socket will generate a hiccup message when connect peer has been disconnected.
You may set this on DEALER, CLIENT and PEER sockets.
The combination with ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL is powerful and simplify protocols, when heartbeat recognize a connection drop it
will generate a hiccup message that can match the protocol of the application.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_DEALER, ZMQ_CLIENT and ZMQ_PEER


ZMQ_GSSAPI_PLAINTEXT: Disable GSSAPI encryption
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defines whether communications on the socket will be encrypted, see
linkzmq:zmq_gssapi[7]. A value of '1' means  that communications will be
plaintext.  A value of '0' means communications will be encrypted.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL: Set name of GSSAPI principal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the name of the principal for whom GSSAPI credentials should be acquired.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: not set
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVER: Set GSSAPI server role
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defines whether the socket will act as server for GSSAPI security, see
linkzmq:zmq_gssapi[7]. A value of '1' means the socket will act as GSSAPI
server. A value of '0' means the socket will act as GSSAPI client.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL: Set name of GSSAPI service principal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the name of the principal of the GSSAPI server to which a GSSAPI client
intends to connect.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: not set
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport

ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE: Set name type of service principal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the name type of the GSSAPI service principal.  A value of
'ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED' (0) means the name specified with
'ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL' is interpreted as a host based name.  A value
of 'ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_USER_NAME' (1) means it is interpreted as a local user name.
A value of 'ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_KRB5_PRINCIPAL' (2) means it is interpreted as an
unparsed principal name string (valid only with the krb5 GSSAPI mechanism).

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1, 2
Default value:: 0 (ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP or IPC transport

ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE: Set name type of principal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the name type of the GSSAPI principal.  A value of
'ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED' (0) means the name specified with
'ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL' is interpreted as a host based name.  A value of
'ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_USER_NAME' (1) means it is interpreted as a local user name.
A value of 'ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_KRB5_PRINCIPAL' (2) means it is interpreted as an
unparsed principal name string (valid only with the krb5 GSSAPI mechanism).

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1, 2
Default value:: 0 (ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP or IPC transport

ZMQ_HANDSHAKE_IVL: Set maximum handshake interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_HANDSHAKE_IVL' option shall set the maximum handshake interval for
the specified 'socket'. Handshaking is the exchange of socket configuration
information (socket type, routing id, security) that occurs when a connection
is first opened, only for connection-oriented transports. If handshaking does
not complete within the configured time, the connection shall be closed.
The value 0 means no handshake time limit.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 30000
Applicable socket types:: all but ZMQ_STREAM, only for connection-oriented transports

ZMQ_HELLO_MSG: set an hello message that will be sent when a new peer connect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When set, the socket will automatically send an hello message when a new connection is made or accepted.
You may set this on DEALER, ROUTER, CLIENT, SERVER and PEER sockets.
The combination with ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL is powerful and simplify protocols,
as now heartbeat and sending the hello message can be left out of protocols and be handled by zeromq.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: binary data
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: NULL
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_ROUTER, ZMQ_DEALER, ZMQ_CLIENT, ZMQ_SERVER and ZMQ_PEER

ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL: Set interval between sending ZMTP heartbeats
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL' option shall set the interval between sending ZMTP heartbeats
for the specified 'socket'. If this option is set and is greater than 0, then a 'PING'
ZMTP command will be sent every 'ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL' milliseconds.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all, when using connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT: Set timeout for ZMTP heartbeats
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT' option shall set how long to wait before timing-out a
connection after sending a 'PING' ZMTP command and not receiving any traffic. This
option is only valid if 'ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL' is also set, and is greater than 0. The
connection will time out if there is no traffic received after sending the 'PING'
command, but the received traffic does not have to be a 'PONG' command - any received
traffic will cancel the timeout.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 0 normally, ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL if it is set
Applicable socket types:: all, when using connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TTL: Set the TTL value for ZMTP heartbeats
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_TTL' option shall set the timeout on the remote peer for ZMTP
heartbeats. If this option is greater than 0, the remote side shall time out the
connection if it does not receive any more traffic within the TTL period. This option
does not have any effect if 'ZMQ_HEARTBEAT_IVL' is not set or is 0. Internally, this
value is rounded down to the nearest decisecond, any value less than 100 will have
no effect.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: milliseconds
Default value:: 0
Maximum value:: 6553599 (which is 2^16-1 deciseconds)
Applicable socket types:: all, when using connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_IDENTITY: Set socket identity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This option name is now deprecated. Use ZMQ_ROUTING_ID instead.
ZMQ_IDENTITY remains as an alias for now.


ZMQ_IMMEDIATE: Queue messages only to completed connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default queues will fill on outgoing connections even if the connection has
not completed. This can lead to "lost" messages on sockets with round-robin
routing (REQ, PUSH, DEALER). If this option is set to `1`, messages shall be
queued only to completed connections. 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, only for connection-oriented transports.


ZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING: Invert message filtering
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reverses the filtering behavior of PUB-SUB sockets, when set to 1.

On 'PUB' and 'XPUB' sockets, this causes messages to be sent to all
connected sockets 'except' those subscribed to a prefix that matches
the message. On 'SUB' sockets, this causes only incoming messages that
do 'not' match any of the socket's subscriptions to be received by the user.

Whenever 'ZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING' is set to 1 on a 'PUB' socket, all 'SUB'
sockets connecting to it must also have the option set to 1. Failure to
do so will have the 'SUB' sockets reject everything the 'PUB' socket sends
them. 'XSUB' sockets do not need to do this because they do not filter
incoming messages.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0,1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_PUB, ZMQ_XPUB, ZMQ_SUB


ZMQ_IPV6: Enable IPv6 on socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set 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_LINGER: Set linger period for socket shutdown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_LINGER' option shall set 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 disconnected with
linkzmq:zmq_disconnect[3] or closed with linkzmq:zmq_close[3], and further
affects the termination of the socket's context with linkzmq:zmq_ctx_term[3].
The following outlines the different behaviours:

* A value of '-1' specifies an infinite linger period. Pending
  messages shall not be discarded after a call to _zmq_disconnect()_ or
  _zmq_close()_; attempting to terminate the socket's context with _zmq_ctx_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 after a call to _zmq_disconnect()_ or _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_disconnect()_ or
  _zmq_close()_; attempting to terminate the socket's context with _zmq_ctx_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_MAXMSGSIZE: Maximum acceptable inbound message size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Limits the size of the inbound message. 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_METADATA: Add application metadata properties to a socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The _ZMQ_METADATA_ option shall add application metadata to the specified _socket_,
the metadata is exchanged with peers during connection setup. A metadata property is
specified as a string, delimited by a colon, starting with the metadata _property_
followed by the metadata value, for example "X-key:value".
_Property_ names are restricted to maximum 255 characters and must be prefixed by "X-".
Multiple application metadata properties can be added to a socket by executing zmq_setsockopt()
multiple times. As the argument is a null-terminated string, binary data must be encoded
before it is added e.g. using Z85 (linkzmq:zmq_z85_encode[3]).

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: not set
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_MULTICAST_HOPS: Maximum network hops for multicast packets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the time-to-live field in every multicast packet sent from this socket.
The default is 1 which 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_MULTICAST_MAXTPDU: Maximum transport data unit size for multicast packets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the maximum transport data unit size used for outbound multicast
packets.

This must be set at or below the minimum Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for
all network paths over which multicast reception is required.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: bytes
Default value:: 1500
Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports


ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD: Set PLAIN security password
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the password for outgoing connections over TCP or IPC. If you set this
to a non-null value, the security mechanism used for connections shall be
PLAIN, see linkzmq:zmq_plain[7]. If you set this to a null value, the security
mechanism used for connections shall be NULL, see linkzmq:zmq_null[3].

[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: not set
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER: Set PLAIN server role
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defines whether the socket will act as server for PLAIN security, see
linkzmq:zmq_plain[7]. A value of '1' means the socket will act as
PLAIN server. A value of '0' means the socket will not act as PLAIN
server, and its security role then depends on other option settings.
Setting this to '0' shall reset the socket security to NULL.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME: Set PLAIN security username
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the username for outgoing connections over TCP or IPC. If you set this
to a non-null value, the security mechanism used for connections shall be
PLAIN, see linkzmq:zmq_plain[7]. If you set this to a null value, the security
mechanism used for connections shall be NULL, see linkzmq:zmq_null[3].

[horizontal]
Option value type:: character string
Option value unit:: N/A
Default value:: not set
Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transport


ZMQ_USE_FD: Set the pre-allocated socket file descriptor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When set to a positive integer value before zmq_bind is called on the socket,
the socket shall use the corresponding file descriptor for connections over
TCP or IPC instead of allocating a new file descriptor.
Useful for writing systemd socket activated services. If set to -1 (default),
a new file descriptor will be allocated instead (default behaviour).

NOTE: if set after calling zmq_bind, this option shall have no effect.
NOTE: the file descriptor passed through MUST have been ran through the "bind"
      and "listen" system calls beforehand. Also, socket option that would
      normally be passed through zmq_setsockopt like TCP buffers length,
      IP_TOS or SO_REUSEADDR MUST be set beforehand by the caller, as they
      must be set before the socket is bound.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: file descriptor
Default value:: -1
Applicable socket types:: all bound sockets, when using IPC or TCP transport


ZMQ_PRIORITY: Set the Priority on socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the protocol-defined priority for all packets to be sent on this
socket, where supported by the OS. In Linux, values greater than 6
require admin capability (CAP_NET_ADMIN)

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: >0
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_PROBE_ROUTER: bootstrap connections to ROUTER sockets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When set to 1, the socket will automatically send an empty message when a
new connection is made or accepted. You may set this on REQ, DEALER, or
ROUTER sockets connected to a ROUTER socket. The application must filter
such empty messages. The ZMQ_PROBE_ROUTER option in effect provides the
ROUTER application with an event signaling the arrival of a new peer.

NOTE: do not set this option on a socket that talks to any other socket
types: the results are undefined.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_ROUTER, ZMQ_DEALER, ZMQ_REQ


ZMQ_RATE: Set multicast data rate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RATE' option shall set the maximum send or receive data rate for
multicast transports such as linkzmq:zmq_pgm[7] 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_RCVBUF: Set kernel receive buffer size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RCVBUF' option shall set the underlying kernel receive buffer size for
the 'socket' to the specified size in bytes.  A value of -1 means leave the
OS default unchanged. 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:: -1
Applicable socket types:: all


ZMQ_RCVHWM: Set high water mark for inbound messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RCVHWM' option shall set 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.

NOTE: 0MQ does not guarantee that the socket will be able to queue as many as ZMQ_RCVHWM
messages, and the actual limit may be lower or higher, depending on socket transport.
A notable example is for sockets using TCP transport; see linkzmq:zmq_tcp[7].

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


ZMQ_RCVTIMEO: Maximum time before a recv operation returns with EAGAIN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the timeout for receive 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_RECONNECT_IVL: Set reconnection interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL' option shall set 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.

ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX: Set max reconnection interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX' option shall set the max reconnection interval for
the specified 'socket'. 0MQ shall wait at most the configured interval between
reconnection attempts. The interval grows exponentionally (i.e.: it is doubled)
with each attempt until it reaches ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX. Default value means
that the reconnect interval is based exclusively on ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL and no
exponential backoff is performed.

NOTE:  Value has to be greater or equal than ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL, or else it will
       be ignored.

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


ZMQ_RECONNECT_STOP: Set condition where reconnection will stop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_STOP' option shall set the conditions under which automatic
reconnection will stop.  This can be useful when a process binds to a
wild-card port, where the OS supplies an ephemeral port.

The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_STOP_CONN_REFUSED' option will stop reconnection when 0MQ
receives the ECONNREFUSED return code from the connect.  This indicates that
there is no code bound to the specified endpoint.

The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_STOP_HANDSHAKE_FAILED' option will stop reconnection if
the 0MQ handshake fails.  This can be used to detect and/or prevent errant
connection attempts to non-0MQ sockets.  Note that when specifying this option
you may also want to set `ZMQ_HANDSHAKE_IVL` -- the default handshake interval
is 30000 (30 seconds), which is typically too large.

The 'ZMQ_RECONNECT_STOP_AFTER_DISCONNECT' option will stop reconnection when
zmq_disconnect() has been called. This can be useful when the user's request failed
(server not ready), as the socket does not need to continue to reconnect after
user disconnect actively.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports (ZMQ_HANDSHAKE_IVL is
not applicable for ZMQ_STREAM sockets)


ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL: Set multicast recovery interval
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL' option shall set 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.

CAUTION: Exercise care when setting large recovery intervals as the data
needed for recovery will be held in memory. For example, a 1 minute recovery
interval at a data rate of 1Gbps requires a 7GB in-memory buffer.

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


ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE: match replies with requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The default behaviour of REQ sockets is to rely on the ordering of messages to
match requests and responses and that is usually sufficient. When this option
is set to 1, the REQ socket will prefix outgoing messages with an extra frame
containing a request id. That means the full message is (request id, 0,
user frames...). The REQ socket will discard all incoming messages that don't
begin with these two frames.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_REQ


ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED: relax strict alternation between request and reply
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, a REQ socket does not allow initiating a new request with
_zmq_send(3)_ until the reply to the previous one has been received.
When set to 1, sending another message is allowed and previous replies will
be discarded if any. The request-reply state machine is reset and a new
request is sent to the next available peer.

If set to 1, also enable ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE to ensure correct matching of
requests and replies. Otherwise a late reply to an aborted request can be
reported as the reply to the superseding request.

ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER: handle duplicate client routing ids on ROUTER sockets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If two clients use the same routing id when connecting to a ROUTER, the
results shall depend on the ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER option setting. If that
is not set (or set to the default of zero), the ROUTER socket shall reject
clients trying to connect with an already-used routing id. If that option
is set to 1, the ROUTER socket shall hand-over the connection to the new
client and disconnect the existing one.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_ROUTER


ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY: accept only routable messages on ROUTER sockets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the ROUTER socket behaviour when an unroutable message is encountered. A
value of `0` is the default and discards the message silently when it cannot be
routed or the peers SNDHWM is reached.  A value of `1` returns an
'EHOSTUNREACH' error code if the message cannot be routed or 'EAGAIN' error
code if the SNDHWM is reached and ZMQ_DONTWAIT was used. Without ZMQ_DONTWAIT
it will block until the SNDTIMEO is reached or a spot in the send queue opens
up.

When ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set to `1`, 'ZMQ_POLLOUT' events will be generated
if one or more messages can be sent to at least one of the peers. If
ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set to `0`, the socket will generate a 'ZMQ_POLLOUT'
event on every call to 'zmq_poll' resp. 'zmq_poller_wait_all'.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_ROUTER


ZMQ_ROUTER_RAW: switch ROUTER socket to raw mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the raw mode on the ROUTER, when set to 1. When the ROUTER socket is in
raw mode, and when using the tcp:// transport, it will read and write TCP data
without 0MQ framing. This lets 0MQ applications talk to non-0MQ applications.
When using raw mode, you cannot set explicit identities, and the ZMQ_SNDMORE
flag is ignored when sending data messages. In raw mode you can close a specific
connection by sending it a zero-length message (following the routing id frame).

NOTE: This option is deprecated, please use ZMQ_STREAM sockets instead.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_ROUTER


ZMQ_ROUTING_ID: Set socket routing id
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_ROUTING_ID' option shall set the routing id of the specified 'socket'
when connecting to a ROUTER socket.

A routing id must be at least one byte and at most 255 bytes long. Identities
starting with a zero byte are reserved for use by the 0MQ infrastructure.

If two clients use the same routing id when connecting to a ROUTER, the
results shall depend on the ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER option setting. If that
is not set (or set to the default of zero), the ROUTER socket shall reject
clients trying to connect with an already-used routing id. If that option
is set to 1, the ROUTER socket shall hand-over the connection to the new
client and disconnect the existing one.

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


ZMQ_SNDBUF: Set kernel transmit buffer size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_SNDBUF' option shall set the underlying kernel transmit buffer size
for the 'socket' to the specified size in bytes.  A value of -1 means leave
the OS default unchanged. For details please refer to your operating system
documentation for the 'SO_SNDBUF' socket option.

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


ZMQ_SNDHWM: Set high water mark for outbound messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_SNDHWM' option shall set 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.

NOTE: 0MQ does not guarantee that the socket will accept as many as ZMQ_SNDHWM
messages, and the actual limit may be as much as 90% lower depending on the
flow of messages on the socket. The socket may even be able to accept more messages
than the ZMQ_SNDHWM threshold; a notable example is for sockets using TCP transport;
see linkzmq:zmq_tcp[7].

[horizontal]

ZMQ_SNDTIMEO: Maximum time before a send operation returns with EAGAIN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets 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.

ZMQ_SOCKS_PROXY: Set SOCKS5 proxy address
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the SOCKS5 proxy address that shall be used by the socket for the TCP
connection(s). Supported authentication methods are: no authentication
or basic authentication when setup with ZMQ_SOCKS_USERNAME. If the endpoints
are domain names instead of addresses they shall not be resolved and they
shall be forwarded unchanged to the SOCKS proxy service in the client
connection request message (address type 0x03 domain name).

ZMQ_SOCKS_USERNAME: Set SOCKS username and select basic authentication
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the username for authenticated connection to the SOCKS5 proxy.
If you set this to a non-null and non-empty value, the authentication
method used for the SOCKS5 connection shall be basic authentication.
In this case, use ZMQ_SOCKS_PASSWORD option in order to set the password.
If you set this to a null value or empty value, the authentication method
shall be no authentication, the default.

[horizontal]

ZMQ_SOCKS_PASSWORD: Set SOCKS basic authentication password
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the password for authenticating to the SOCKS5 proxy server.
This is used only when the SOCKS5 authentication method has been
set to basic authentication through the ZMQ_SOCKS_USERNAME option.
Setting this to a null value (the default) is equivalent to an
empty password string.

ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE: Establish message filter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE' option shall establish a new message filter on a 'ZMQ_SUB'
socket. Newly created 'ZMQ_SUB' sockets shall filter out all incoming messages,
therefore you should call this option to establish an initial message filter.

An empty 'option_value' of length zero shall subscribe to all incoming
messages. A non-empty 'option_value' shall subscribe to all messages beginning
with the specified prefix. Multiple filters may be attached to a single
'ZMQ_SUB' socket, in which case a message shall be accepted if it matches at
least one filter.

Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transports.


ZMQ_TCP_MAXRT: Set TCP Maximum Retransmit Timeout
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On OSes where it is supported, sets how long before an unacknowledged TCP
retransmit times out. The system normally attempts many TCP retransmits
following an exponential backoff strategy. This means that after a network
outage, it may take a long time before the session can be re-established.
Setting this option allows the timeout to happen at a shorter interval.

ZMQ_TOS: Set the Type-of-Service on socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the ToS fields (Differentiated services (DS) and Explicit Congestion
Notification (ECN) field of the IP header. The ToS field is typically used
to specify a packets priority. The availability of this option is dependent
on intermediate network equipment that inspect the ToS field and provide a
path for low-delay, high-throughput, highly-reliable service, etc.

Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports


ZMQ_UNSUBSCRIBE: Remove message filter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ZMQ_UNSUBSCRIBE' option shall remove an existing message filter on a
'ZMQ_SUB' socket. The filter specified must match an existing filter previously
established with the 'ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE' option. If the socket has several
instances of the same filter attached the 'ZMQ_UNSUBSCRIBE' option shall remove
only one instance, leaving the rest in place and functional.

ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL: change the subscription handling to manual
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the 'XPUB' socket subscription handling mode manual/automatic.
A value of '0' is the default and subscription requests will be handled automatically.
A value of '1' will change the subscription requests handling to manual,
with manual mode subscription requests are not added to the subscription list.
To add subscription the user need to call setsockopt with ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE on XPUB socket.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: ZMQ_XPUB


ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL_LAST_VALUE: change the subscription handling to manual
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This option is similar to ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL.
The difference is that ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL_LAST_VALUE changes the 'XPUB' socket
behaviour to send the first message to the last subscriber after the socket
receives a subscription and call setsockopt with ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE on 'XPUB' socket.
This prevents duplicated messages when using last value caching(LVC).

ZMQ_ZAP_DOMAIN: Set RFC 27 authentication domain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the domain for ZAP (ZMQ RFC 27) authentication. A ZAP domain must be
specified to enable authentication. When the ZAP domain is empty, which is
the default, ZAP authentication is disabled. This is not compatible with
previous versions of libzmq, so it can be controlled by ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN
which for now is disabled by default.
See http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:27 for more details.

ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN: Set ZAP domain handling to strictly adhere the RFC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ZAP (ZMQ RFC 27) authentication protocol specifies that a domain must
always be set. Older versions of libzmq did not follow the spec and allowed
an empty domain to be set.
This option can be used to enabled or disable the stricter, backward
incompatible behaviour. For now it is disabled by default, but in a future
version it will be enabled by default.

transport connection on a listening socket. If no filters are applied, then
the TCP transport allows connections from any IP address. If at least one
filter is applied then new connection source ip should be matched. To clear
all filters call zmq_setsockopt(socket, ZMQ_TCP_ACCEPT_FILTER, NULL, 0).
Filter is a null-terminated string with ipv6 or ipv4 CIDR.

NOTE: This option is deprecated, please use authentication via the ZAP API

congestion notification (ECN)-enabled congestion control (3='ZMQ_NORM_CCE'), and
ECN-only congestion control (4='ZMQ_NORM_CCE_ECNONLY'). The default value is
TCP-friendly congestion control mode. Fixed rate mode (using datarate set by
'ZMQ_RATE') offers better performance, but care must be taken to prevent data
loss.  ECN modes will set one of the ECN Capable Transport bits in the given
'ZMQ_TOS' if it is not set already.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Default value:: 1 ('ZMQ_NORM_CC')
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_UNICAST_NACK: Set NORM Unicast NACK mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If set, NORM receiver will send Negative ACKnowledgements (NACKs) back to the
sender using unicast instead of multicast.  NORM transport endpoints specifying
a unicast address will enable this by default, but it is disabled by default for
multicast addresses.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_BUFFER_SIZE: Set NORM buffer size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets NORM buffer size for NORM transport sender, receiver, and stream.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: kilobytes
Default value:: 2048
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_SEGMENT_SIZE: Set NORM segment size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets NORM sender segment size, which is the maximum message payload size of
individual NORM messages (ZMQ messages may be split over multiple NORM
messages).  Ideally, this value should fit within the system/network maximum
transmission unit (MTU) after accounting for additional NORM message headers
(up to 48 bytes).

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: bytes
Default value:: 1400
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_BLOCK_SIZE: Set NORM block size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets NORM sender block size, which is the number of segments in a NORM FEC
coding block. NORM repair operations take place at block boundaries. Maximum
value is 255, but parity packets ('ZMQ_NORM_NUM_PARITY') are limited to a value
of (255 - 'ZMQ_NORM_BLOCK_SIZE'). Minimum value is ('ZMQ_NORM_NUM_PARITY' + 1).
Effective value may be different based on the settings of 'ZMQ_NORM_NUM_PARITY'
and 'ZMQ_NORM_NUM_AUTOPARITY' if invalid settings are provided.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: >0, <=255
Default value:: 16
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_NUM_PARITY: Set number of NORM parity segments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the maximum number of NORM parity symbol segments that the sender is
willing to calculate per FEC coding block for the purpose of reparing lost data.
Maximum value is 255, but is further limited to a value of
(255 - 'ZMQ_NORM_BLOCK_SIZE'). Minimum value is 'ZMQ_NORM_NUM_AUTOPARITY'.
Effective value may be different based on the setting of
'ZMQ_NORM_NUM_AUTOPARITY' if invalid settings are provided.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: >0, <255
Default value:: 4
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_NUM_AUTOPARITY: Set number of proactive NORM parity segments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the number of NORM parity symbol segments that the sender will proactively
send at the end of each FEC coding block. By default, no proactive parity
segments will be sent; instead, parity segments will only be sent in response to
repair requests (NACKs). Maximum value is 255, but is further limited to a
maximum value of 'ZMQ_NORM_NUM_PARITY'.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: >=0, <255
Default value:: 0
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


ZMQ_NORM_PUSH: Enable NORM push mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enables NORM stream push mode, which alters the behavior of the sender when
enqueueing new data. By default, NORM will stop accepting new messages while
waiting for old data to be transmitted and/or repaired. Enabling push mode
discards the oldest data (which may be pending repair or may never have been
transmitted) in favor of accepting new data. This may be useful in cases where
it is more important to quickly deliver new data instead of reliably delivering
older data.

NOTE: in DRAFT state, not yet available in stable releases.

[horizontal]
Option value type:: int
Option value unit:: boolean
Default value:: 0 (false)
Applicable socket types:: All, when using NORM transport.


RETURN VALUE
------------
The _zmq_setsockopt()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it
shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.

ERRORS
------
*EINVAL*::
The requested option _option_name_ is unknown, or the requested _option_len_ or
_option_value_ is invalid.
*ETERM*::
The 0MQ 'context' associated with the specified 'socket' was terminated.
*ENOTSOCK*::
The provided 'socket' was invalid.
*EINTR*::
The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal.


EXAMPLE
-------
.Subscribing to messages on a 'ZMQ_SUB' socket
----
/* Subscribe to all messages */
rc = zmq_setsockopt (socket, ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE, "", 0);
assert (rc == 0);
/* Subscribe to messages prefixed with "ANIMALS.CATS" */
rc = zmq_setsockopt (socket, ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE, "ANIMALS.CATS", 12);
----

.Setting I/O thread affinity
----
int64_t affinity;
/* Incoming connections on TCP port 5555 shall be handled by I/O thread 1 */
affinity = 1;
rc = zmq_setsockopt (socket, ZMQ_AFFINITY, &affinity, sizeof (affinity));
assert (rc);
rc = zmq_bind (socket, "tcp://lo:5555");
assert (rc);
/* Incoming connections on TCP port 5556 shall be handled by I/O thread 2 */
affinity = 2;
rc = zmq_setsockopt (socket, ZMQ_AFFINITY, &affinity, sizeof (affinity));
assert (rc);
rc = zmq_bind (socket, "tcp://lo:5556");
