NAME

       xs_inproc - local in-process (inter-thread) transport

SYNOPSIS

       The in-process transport passes messages via memory directly between threads sharing a single context.

ADDRESSING

       A Crossroads address string consists of two parts as follows: transport://endpoint. The transport part
       specifies the underlying transport protocol to use, and for the in-process transport shall be set to
       inproc. The meaning of the endpoint part for the in-process transport is defined below.

   Assigning a local address to a socket
       When assigning a local address to a socket using xs_bind() with the inproc transport, the endpoint shall
       be interpreted as an arbitrary string identifying the name to create. The name must be unique within the
       context associated with the socket and may be up to 256 characters in length. No other restrictions are
       placed on the format of the name.

   Connecting a socket
       When connecting a socket to a peer address using xs_connect() with the inproc transport, the endpoint
       shall be interpreted as an arbitrary string identifying the name to connect to. The name must have been
       previously created by assigning it to at least one socket within the same context as the socket being
       connected.

WIRE FORMAT

       Not applicable.

EXAMPLES

       Assigning a local address to a socket.

           /* Assign the in-process name "#1" */
           rc = xs_bind(socket, "inproc://#1");
           assert (rc != -1);
           /* Assign the in-process name "my-endpoint" */
           rc = xs_bind(socket, "inproc://my-endpoint");
           assert (rc != -1);

       Connecting a socket.

           /* Connect to the in-process name "#1" */
           rc = xs_connect(socket, "inproc://#1");
           assert (rc != -1);
           /* Connect to the in-process name "my-endpoint" */
           rc = xs_connect(socket, "inproc://my-endpoint");
           assert (rc != -1);
