== NAME

libnng - nanomsg next generation library

== SYNOPSIS

*cc* [_flags_] _files_ *-lnng* [_libraries_]

== DESCRIPTION

The <<nng.7#,_nng_>> library provides a common messaging framework
intended to solve common communication problems in distributed applications.

It provides a C language API.

=== Common Functions

The following common functions exist in _libnng_.

|===
|<<nng_alloc.3#,nng_alloc()>>|allocate memory
|<<nng_free.3#,nng_free()>>|free memory
|<<nng_strerror.3#,nng_strerror()>>|return an error description
|<<nng_version.3#,nng_version()>>|report library version
|===

=== Socket Functions

The following functions operate on sockets.

|===
|<<nng_close.3#,nng_close()>>|close socket
|<<nng_dial.3#,nng_dial()>>|create and start dialer
|<<nng_getopt.3#,nng_getopt()>>|get socket option
|<<nng_listen.3#,nng_listen()>>|create and start listener
|<<nng_recv.3#,nng_recv()>>|receive data
|<<nng_send.3#,nng_send()>>|send data
|<<nng_setopt.3#,nng_setopt()>>|set socket option
|===

=== Connection Management

The following functions are used with either listeners, or dialers.
Listeners accept incoming connection requets, and dialers make them.

|===
|<<nng_dial.3#,nng_dial()>>|create and start dialer
|<<nng_dialer_close.3#,nng_dialer_close()>>|close dialer
|<<nng_dialer_create.3#,nng_dialer_create()>>|create dialer
|<<nng_dialer_getopt.3#,nng_dialer_getopt()>>|get dialer option
|<<nng_dialer_setopt.3#,nng_dialer_setopt()>>|set dialer option
|<<nng_dialer_start.3#,nng_dialer_start()>>|start dialer
|<<nng_listen.3#,nng_listen()>>|create and start listener
|<<nng_listener_close.3#,nng_listener_close()>>|close listener
|<<nng_listener_create.3#,nng_listener_create()>>|create listener
|<<nng_listener_getopt.3#,nng_listener_getopt()>>|get listener option
|<<nng_listener_setopt.3#,nng_listener_setopt()>>|set listener option
|<<nng_listener_start.3#,nng_listener_start()>>|start listener
|<<nng_pipe_close.3#,nng_pipe_close()>>|close pipe
|<<nng_pipe_getopt.3#,nng_pipe_getopt()>>|get pipe option
|===

=== Message Handling Functions

Applications desiring to use the richest part of _libnng_ will want to
use the message API, where a message structure is passed between functions.
This API provides the most power support for zero-copy.

Messages are divided into a header and body, where the body generally carries
user-payload and the header carries protocol specific header information.
Most applications will only interact with the body.

|===
|<<nng_msg_alloc.3#,nng_msg_alloc()>>|allocate a message
|<<nng_msg_append.3#,nng_msg_append()>>|append to message body
|<<nng_msg_body.3#,nng_msg_body()>>|return message body
|<<nng_msg_chop.3#,nng_msg_chop()>>|remove data from end of message body
|<<nng_msg_clear.3#,nng_msg_clear()>>|clear message body
|<<nng_msg_dup.3#,nng_msg_dup()>>|duplicate a message
|<<nng_msg_free.3#,nng_msg_free()>>|free a message
|<<nng_msg_get_pipe.3#,nng_msg_get_pipe()>>|get pipe for message
|<<nng_msg_insert.3#,nng_msg_insert()>>|prepend to message body
|<<nng_msg_len.3#,nng_msg_len()>>|return the message body length
|<<nng_msg_realloc.3#,nng_msg_realloc()>>|reallocate a message
|<<nng_msg_set_pipe.3#,nng_msg_set_pipe()>>|set pipe for message
|<<nng_msg_trim.3#,nng_msg_trim()>>|remove data from start of message body
|<<nng_recvmsg.3#,nng_recvmsg()>>|receive a message
|<<nng_sendmsg.3#,nng_sendmsg()>>|send a message
|===

==== Message Header Handling

TIP: Few applications will need these functions, as message headers are only
used to carry protocol-specific content. However, applications which use raw
mode may need to access the header of messages.

|===
|<<nng_msg_header.3#,nng_msg_header()>>|return message header
|<<nng_msg_header_append.3#,nng_msg_header_append()>>|append to message header
|<<nng_msg_header_chop.3#,nng_msg_header_chop()>>|remove data from end of message header
|<<nng_msg_header_clear.3#,nng_msg_header_clear()>>|clear message header
|<<nng_msg_header_insert.3#,nng_msg_header_insert()>>|prepend to message header
|<<nng_msg_header_len.3#,nng_msg_header_len()>>|return the message header length
|<<nng_msg_header_trim.3#,nng_msg_header_trim()>>|remove data from start of message header
|===

=== Asynchronous Operations

Most applications will interact with _nng_ synchronously; that is that
functions such as <<nng_send.3#,`nng_send()`>> will block the calling
thread until the operation has completed.

NOTE: Synchronous operations which send messages may return before the
message has actually been received, or even transmitted. Instead, These
functions return as soon as the message was successfully queued for
delivery.

Asynchronous operations behave differently. These operations are
initiated by the calling thread, but control returns immediately to
the calling thread. When the operation is subsequently completed (regardless
of whether this was successful or not), then a user supplied function
("callback") is executed.

A context structure, an <<nng_aio.5#,`nng_aio`>>, is allocated and
associated with each asynchronous operation.
Only a single asynchronous operation may be associated with an
`nng_aio` at any time.

The following functions are used in the asynchronous model:

|===
|<<nng_aio_abort.3#,nng_aio_abort()>>|abort asynchronous I/O operation
|<<nng_aio_alloc.3#,nng_aio_alloc()>>|allocate asynchronous I/O handle

|<<nng_aio_count.3#,nng_aio_count()>>|return number of bytes transferred
|<<nng_aio_finish.3#,nng_aio_finish()>>|finish an asynchronous I/O operation
|<<nng_aio_free.3#,nng_aio_free()>>|free asynchronous I/O handle
|<<nng_aio_get_input.3#,nng_aio_get_input()>>|return input parameter
|<<nng_aio_get_msg.3#,nng_aio_get_msg()>>|get message from an asynchronous receive
|<<nng_aio_get_output.3#,nng_aio_get_output()>>|return output result
|<<nng_aio_result.3#,nng_aio_result()>>|return result of asynchronous operation
|<<nng_aio_set_input.3#,nng_aio_set_input()>>|set input parameter
|<<nng_aio_set_iov.3#,nng_aio_set_iov()>>|set scatter/gather vector
|<<nng_aio_set_msg.3#,nng_aio_set_msg()>>|set message for an asynchronous send
|<<nng_aio_set_output.3#,nng_aio_set_output()>>|set output result
|<<nng_aio_set_timeout.3#,nng_aio_set_timeout()>>|set asynchronous I/O timeout
|<<nng_aio_stop.3#,nng_aio_stop()>>|stop asynchronous I/O operation
|<<nng_aio_wait.3#,nng_aio_wait()>>|wait for asynchronous I/O operation
|<<nng_recv_aio.3#,nng_recv_aio()>>|receive message asynchronously
|<<nng_send_aio.3#,nng_send_aio()>>|send message asynchronously
|<<nng_sleep_aio.3#,nng_sleep_aio()>>|sleep asynchronously
|===

|<<nng_sub_open.3#,nng_sub_open()>>|open a sub socket
|<<nng_surveyor_open.3#,nng_surveyor_open()>>|open a surveyor socket
