Rust ZeroMQ bindings.

Installation

rust-zmq uses cargo to install. Users should add this to their Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies.zmq]
git = "https://github.com/erickt/rust-zmq.git"

Install for developers:

% git clone https://github.com/erickt/rust-zmq
% cd rust-zmq
% cargo build

Usage

rust-zmq is a pretty straight forward port of the C API into Rust:

extern crate zmq;

fn main() {
	let mut ctx = zmq::Context::new();

	let mut socket = match ctx.socket(zmq::REQ) {
	  Ok(socket) => { socket },
	  Err(e) => { panic!(e) }
	};

	match socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:1234") {
	  Ok(()) => (),
	  Err(e) => panic!(e)
	}

	match socket.send_str("hello world!", 0) {
	  Ok(()) => (),
	  Err(e) => panic!(e)
	}
}
