Detailed Description

The ZSocketRep class implements a ZeroMQ REP socket.

Restrictions:
Qore::PO_NO_NETWORK

A socket of type REP is used by a service to receive requests from and send replies to a client. This socket type allows only an alternating sequence of ZSocket::recv*() and subsequent ZSocket::send*() calls. Each request received is fair-queued from among all clients, and each reply sent is routed to the client that issued the last request. If the original requester does not exist anymore, the reply is silently discarded.

Summary of REP characteristics

Property Value
Compatible peer sockets REQ, DEALER
Direction Bidirectional
Send/receive pattern Receive, Send, Receive, Send, …
Incoming routing strategy Fair-queued
Outgoing routing strategy Last peer
Note
  • This class is not designed to be accessed from multiple threads; it was created without locking for fast and efficient use when used from a single thread. For methods that would be unsafe to use in another thread, any use of such methods in threads other than the thread where the constructor was called will cause a ZSOCKET-THREAD-ERROR to be thrown.
  • It is recommended to use an identity with REP sockets

Member Function Documentation

◆ constructor() [1/2]

Qore::ZMQ::ZSocketRep::constructor ( Qore::ZMQ::ZContext  ctx)

constructs an unconnected REP zsocket with a default system-assigned identity

Example
# create an unconnected REP socket
ZSocketRep rep(zctx);
# set the rep's identity value explicitly before binding
rep.setIdentity(RepIdentity);
port = rep.bind("tcp://127.0.0.1:*");
Parameters
ctxthe context for the socket
Exceptions
ZSOCKET-CONSTRUCTOR-ERRORthis exception is thrown if there is any error creating the socket
Note
It is recommended to use an identity with REP sockets

◆ constructor() [2/2]

Qore::ZMQ::ZSocketRep::constructor ( Qore::ZMQ::ZContext  ctx,
*string  identity,
string  endpoint 
)

constructs a REP zsocket with an explicit identity and endpoint

Example
ZSocketRep sock(ctx, "my-identity", "tcp://127.0.0.1:8001");
Parameters
ctxthe context for the socket
identitythe identity value for the socket; a missing or empty value here results in the default identity being assigned
endpointthe endpoint for the socket; the default action is bind
Exceptions
ZSOCKET-CONSTRUCTOR-ERRORthis exception is thrown if there is any error creating the socket
ZSOCKET-BIND-ERRORthis exception is thrown if there is any error connecting the socket
Note
It is recommended to use an identity with REP sockets
