.SH "NAME"
zmq_getsockopt \- get 0MQ socket options
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBint zmq_getsockopt (void \fR\fB\fI*socket\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIoption_name\fR\fR\fB, void \fR\fB\fI*option_value\fR\fR\fB, size_t \fR\fB\fI*option_len\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_getsockopt()\fR function shall retrieve the value for the option specified by the \fIoption_name\fR argument for the 0MQ socket pointed to by the \fIsocket\fR argument, and store it in the buffer pointed to by the \fIoption_value\fR argument\&. The \fIoption_len\fR argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed to by \fIoption_value\fR; upon successful completion \fIzmq_getsockopt()\fR shall modify the \fIoption_len\fR argument to indicate the actual size of the option value stored in the buffer\&.
.sp
The following options can be retrieved with the \fIzmq_getsockopt()\fR function:
.SS "ZMQ_AFFINITY: Retrieve I/O thread affinity"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_AFFINITY\fR option shall retrieve the I/O thread affinity for newly created connections on the specified \fIsocket\fR\&.
.sp
Affinity determines which threads from the 0MQ I/O thread pool associated with the socket\(cqs \fIcontext\fR shall handle newly created connections\&. A value of zero specifies no affinity, meaning that work shall be distributed fairly among all 0MQ I/O threads in the thread pool\&. For non\-zero values, the lowest bit corresponds to thread 1, second lowest bit to thread 2 and so on\&. For example, a value of 3 specifies that subsequent connections on \fIsocket\fR shall be handled exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2\&.
.sp
See also \fBzmq_init\fR(3) for details on allocating the number of I/O threads for a specific \fIcontext\fR\&.

The \fIZMQ_BINDTODEVICE\fR option retrieves the name of the device this socket is bound to, eg\&. an interface or VRF\&. If a socket is bound to an interface, only packets received from that interface are processed by the socket\&. If device is a VRF device, then subsequent binds/connects to that socket use addresses in the VRF routing table\&.

The \fIZMQ_EVENTS\fR option shall retrieve the event state for the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. The returned value is a bit mask constructed by OR\(cqing a combination of the following event flags:
.PP
\fBZMQ_POLLIN\fR

Indicates that at least one message may be received from the specified socket without blocking\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBZMQ_POLLOUT\fR

.sp
The combination of a file descriptor returned by the \fIZMQ_FD\fR option being ready for reading but no actual events returned by a subsequent retrieval of the \fIZMQ_EVENTS\fR option is valid; applications should simply ignore this case and restart their polling operation/event loop\&.

.sp
The \fIZMQ_FD\fR option shall retrieve the file descriptor associated with the specified \fIsocket\fR\&. The returned file descriptor can be used to integrate the socket into an existing event loop; the 0MQ library shall signal any pending events on the socket in an \fIedge\-triggered\fR fashion by making the file descriptor become ready for reading\&.

.sp
The ability to read from the returned file descriptor does not necessarily indicate that messages are available to be read from, or can be written to, the underlying socket; applications must retrieve the actual event state with a subsequent retrieval of the \fIZMQ_EVENTS\fR option\&.

.ps -1
.br
.sp
The returned file descriptor is also used internally by the \fIzmq_send\fR and \fIzmq_recv\fR functions\&. As the descriptor is edge triggered, applications must update the state of \fIZMQ_EVENTS\fR after each invocation of \fIzmq_send\fR or \fIzmq_recv\fR\&.To be more explicit: after calling \fIzmq_send\fR the socket may become readable (and vice versa) without triggering a read event on the file descriptor\&.

Whenever \fIZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING\fR is set to 1 on a \fIPUB\fR socket, all \fISUB\fR sockets connecting to it must also have the option set to 1\&.
