zproxy_v2(3) ============ NAME ---- zproxy_v2 - run a steerable proxy in the background (deprecated) SYNOPSIS -------- ---- // Constructor // Create a new zproxy object. You must create the frontend and backend // sockets, configure them, and connect or bind them, before you pass them // to the constructor. Do NOT use the sockets again, after passing them to // this method. CZMQ_EXPORT zproxy_t * zproxy_new (zctx_t *ctx, void *frontend, void *backend); // Destructor // Destroy a zproxy object; note this first stops the proxy. CZMQ_EXPORT void zproxy_destroy (zproxy_t **self_p); // Copy all proxied messages to specified endpoint; if this is NULL, any // in-progress capturing will be stopped. You must already have bound the // endpoint to a PULL socket. CZMQ_EXPORT void zproxy_capture (zproxy_t *self, const char *endpoint); // Pauses a zproxy object; a paused proxy will cease processing messages, // causing them to be queued up and potentially hit the high-water mark on // the frontend socket, causing messages to be dropped, or writing // applications to block. CZMQ_EXPORT void zproxy_pause (zproxy_t *self); // Resume a zproxy object CZMQ_EXPORT void zproxy_resume (zproxy_t *self); // Self test of this class CZMQ_EXPORT void zproxy_v2_test (bool verbose); ---- DESCRIPTION ----------- The zproxy class provides an equivalent to the ZMQ steerable proxy, on all versions of ZeroMQ. This class is deprecated in CZMQ v3; it works together with zctx, zsocket, and other deprecated V2 classes. New applications should use the V3 zproxy interface, based on zactor, together with the zsock class for sockets.
