.SH "NAME"
zmq_connect_peer \- create outgoing connection from socket and return the connection routing id in thread\-safe and atomic way\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBuint32_t zmq_connect_peer (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, const char \fR\fB\fI*endpoint\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_connect_peer()\fR function connects a \fIZMQ_PEER\fR socket to an \fIendpoint\fR and then returns the endpoint \fIrouting_id\fR\&.
.sp
The \fIendpoint\fR is a string consisting of a \fItransport\fR:// followed by an \fIaddress\fR\&. The \fItransport\fR specifies the underlying protocol to use\&. The \fIaddress\fR specifies the transport\-specific address to connect to\&.
.sp
The function is supported only on the \fIZMQ_PEER\fR socket type and would return 0 with \fIerrno\fR set to \fIENOTSUP\fR otherwise\&.
.sp
The \fIzmq_connect_peer()\fR support the following transports:
.PP
\fItcp\fR
.RS 4
unicast transport using TCP, see
\fBzmq_tcp\fR(7)
.RE
.PP
\fIipc\fR
.RS 4
local inter\-process communication transport, see
\fBzmq_ipc\fR(7)
.RE
.PP
\fIinproc\fR
.RS 4
local in\-process (inter\-thread) communication transport, see
\fBzmq_inproc\fR(7)
.RE
.PP
\fIws\fR
.RS 4
unicast transport using WebSockets, see
\fBzmq_ws\fR(7)
.RE
.PP
\fIwss\fR
.RS 4
unicast transport using WebSockets over TLS, see
\fBzmq_wss\fR(7)
.RE
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fIzmq_connect_peer()\fR function returns the peer \fIrouting_id\fR if successful\&. Otherwise it returns 0 and sets \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP
\fBEINVAL\fR
.RS 4
The endpoint supplied is invalid\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBEPROTONOSUPPORT\fR
.RS 4

\fItransport\fR
protocol is not supported with
\fIZMQ_PEER\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBENOCOMPATPROTO\fR
.RS 4
The requested
\fItransport\fR
protocol is not compatible with the socket type\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBETERM\fR
.RS 4
The 0MQ
\fIcontext\fR
associated with the specified
\fIsocket\fR
was terminated\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBENOTSOCK\fR
.RS 4

\fBEMTHREAD\fR
.RS 4
No I/O thread is available to accomplish the task\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBENOTSUP\fR
.RS 4
The socket is not of type
\fIZMQ_PEER\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBEFAULT\fR
.RS 4
