NAME

       ZeroMQ::Context - A 0MQ Context object

SYNOPSIS

         use ZeroMQ qw/:all/;

         my $cxt = ZeroMQ::Context->new;
         my $sock = ZeroMQ::Socket->new($cxt, ZMQ_REP);

DESCRIPTION

       Before opening any 0MQ Sockets, the caller must initialise a 0MQ context.

METHODS

   new($nthreads)
       Creates a new "ZeroMQ::Context".

       Optional arguments: The number of io threads to use. Defaults to 1.

   term()
       Terminates the current context. You *RARELY* need to call this yourself, so don't do it
       unless you know what you're doing.

   socket($type)
       Short hand for ZeroMQ::Socket::new.

   ctxt
       Return the underlying ZeroMQ::Raw::Context object

CAVEATS

       While in principle, "ZeroMQ::Context" objects are thread-safe, they are currently not
       cloned when a new Perl ithread is spawned.  The variables in the new thread that contained
       the context in the parent thread will be a scalar reference to "undef" in the new thread.
       This could be fixed with better control over the destructor calls.
