NAME
zmq_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.
Note that there is also a DRAFT function zmq_socket_monitor_versioned(3), which allows to
subscribe to events that provide more information. Calling zmq_socket_monitor is
equivalent to calling zmq_socket_monitor_versioned with the event_version parameter set to
1, with the exception of error cases.
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. NOTE: as new
events are added, the catch-all value will start returning them. An application that
relies on a strict and fixed sequence of events must not use ZMQ_EVENT_ALL in order to
guarantee compatibility with future versions.
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 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.
ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_NO_DETAIL
Unspecified error during handshake. The event value is an errno.
ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_SUCCEEDED
The ZMTP security mechanism handshake succeeded. The event value is unspecified.
ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_PROTOCOL
The ZMTP security mechanism handshake failed due to some mechanism protocol error, either
between the ZMTP mechanism peers, or between the mechanism server and the ZAP handler.
This indicates a configuration or implementation error in either peer resp. the ZAP
handler. The event value is one of the ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_* values:
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_UNSPECIFIED ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_UNEXPECTED_COMMAND
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_INVALID_SEQUENCE ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_KEY_EXCHANGE
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_UNSPECIFIED
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_MESSAGE
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_HELLO
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_INITIATE
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_ERROR
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_READY
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MALFORMED_COMMAND_WELCOME ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_INVALID_METADATA
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_CRYPTOGRAPHIC ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZMTP_MECHANISM_MISMATCH
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZAP_UNSPECIFIED ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZAP_MALFORMED_REPLY
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZAP_BAD_REQUEST_ID ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZAP_BAD_VERSION
ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZAP_INVALID_STATUS_CODE ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_ZAP_INVALID_METADATA
ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_AUTH
The ZMTP security mechanism handshake failed due to an authentication failure. The event
value is the status code returned by the ZAP handler (i.e. 300, 400 or 500).
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.

// by reference, if not null, and event number by value. Returns -1
