ZMQ_GETSOCKOPT(3) | 0MQ Manual | ZMQ_GETSOCKOPT(3) |
zmq_getsockopt - get 0MQ socket options
int zmq_getsockopt (void *socket, int option_name, void *option_value, size_t *option_len);
The zmq_getsockopt() function shall retrieve the value for the option specified by the option_name argument for the 0MQ socket pointed to by the socket argument, and store it in the buffer pointed to by the option_value argument. The option_len argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed to by option_value; upon successful completion zmq_getsockopt() shall modify the option_len argument to indicate the actual size of the option value stored in the buffer.
The following options can be retrieved with the zmq_getsockopt() function:
The ZMQ_AFFINITY option shall retrieve the I/O thread affinity for newly created connections on the specified socket.
Affinity determines which threads from the 0MQ I/O thread pool associated with the socket’s context 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 socket shall be handled exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2.
See also zmq_init(3) for details on allocating the number of I/O threads for a specific context.
Option value type | uint64_t |
Option value unit | N/A (bitmap) |
Default value | 0 |
Applicable socket types | N/A |
The ZMQ_BACKLOG option shall retrieve the maximum length of the queue of outstanding peer connections for the specified socket; this only applies to connection-oriented transports. For details refer to your operating system documentation for the listen function.
Option value type | int |
Option value unit | connections |
Default value | 100 |
Applicable socket types | all, only for connection-oriented transports |
The ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE 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.
Option value type | character string |
Option value unit | N/A |
Default value | not set |
Applicable socket types | all, when using TCP or UDP transports. |
Retrieves how long to wait before timing-out a connect() system call. The connect() system call normally takes a long time before it returns a time out error. Setting this option allows the library to time out the call at an earlier interval.
Option value type | int |
Option value unit | milliseconds |
Default value | 0 (disabled) |
Applicable socket types | all, when using TCP transports. |
Retrieves the current long term public key for the socket. You can provide either a 32 byte buffer, to retrieve the binary key value, or a 41 byte buffer, to retrieve the key in a printable Z85 format. NOTE: to fetch a printable key, the buffer must be 41 bytes large to hold the 40-char key value and one null byte.
Option value type | binary data or Z85 text string |
Option value size | 32 or 41 |
Default value | null |
Applicable socket types | all, when using TCP transport |
Retrieves the current long term secret key for the socket. You can provide either a 32 byte buffer, to retrieve the binary key value, or a 41 byte buffer, to retrieve the key in a printable Z85 format. NOTE: to fetch a printable key, the buffer must be 41 bytes large to hold the 40-char key value and one null byte.
Option value type | binary data or Z85 text string |
Option value size | 32 or 41 |
Default value | null |
Applicable socket types | all, when using TCP transport |
Retrieves the current server key for the client socket. You can provide either a 32 byte buffer, to retrieve the binary key value, or a 41-byte buffer, to retrieve the key in a printable Z85 format. NOTE: to fetch a printable key, the buffer must be 41 bytes large to hold the 40-char key value and one null byte.
Option value type | binary data or Z85 text string |
Option value size | 32 or 41 |
Default value | null |
Applicable socket types | all, when using TCP transport |
The ZMQ_EVENTS option shall retrieve the event state for the specified socket. The returned value is a bit mask constructed by OR’ing a combination of the following event flags:
ZMQ_POLLIN
ZMQ_POLLOUT
The combination of a file descriptor returned by the ZMQ_FD option being ready for reading but no actual events returned by a subsequent retrieval of the ZMQ_EVENTS option is valid; applications should simply ignore this case and restart their polling operation/event loop.
Option value type | int |
Option value unit | N/A (flags) |
Default value | N/A |
Applicable socket types | all |
The ZMQ_FD option shall retrieve the file descriptor associated with the specified socket. 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 edge-triggered fashion by making the file descriptor become ready for reading.
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 ZMQ_EVENTS option.
The returned file descriptor is also used internally by the zmq_send and zmq_recv functions. As the descriptor is edge triggered, applications must update the state of ZMQ_EVENTS after each invocation of zmq_send or zmq_recv.To be more explicit: after calling zmq_send the socket may become readable (and vice versa) without triggering a read event on the file descriptor.
The returned file descriptor is intended for use with a poll or similar system call only. Applications must never attempt to read or write data to it directly, neither should they try to close it.
Option value type | int on POSIX systems, SOCKET on Windows |
Option value unit | N/A |
Default value | N/A |
Applicable socket types | all |

Retrieve the state of the attach on connect value. If set to 1, will delay the attachment of a pipe on connect until the underlying connection has completed. This will cause the socket to block if there are no other connections, but will prevent queues from filling on pipes awaiting connection.
Option value type | int |
Option value unit | boolean |
Default value | 0 (false) |
Applicable socket types | all, primarily when using TCP/IPC transports. |
Returns the value of the ZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING option. A value of 1 means the socket uses inverted prefix matching.
On PUB and XPUB sockets, this causes messages to be sent to all connected sockets except those subscribed to a prefix that matches the message. On SUB sockets, this causes only incoming messages that do not match any of the socket’s subscriptions to be received by the user.
Whenever ZMQ_INVERT_MATCHING is set to 1 on a PUB socket, all SUB sockets connecting to it must also have the option set to 1. Failure to do so will have the SUB sockets reject everything the PUB socket sends them. XSUB sockets do not need to do this because they do not filter incoming messages.
Option value type | int |
Option value unit | 0,1 |
Default value | 0 |
Applicable socket types | ZMQ_PUB, ZMQ_XPUB, ZMQ_SUB |

Option value unit | N/A |
Default value | NULL |
Applicable socket types | all, when binding TCP or IPC transports |
The ZMQ_LINGER option shall retrieve the linger period for the specified socket.

The ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX option shall retrieve the maximum reconnection interval for the specified socket. This is the maximum period 0MQ shall wait between attempts to reconnect. On each reconnect attempt, the previous interval shall be doubled untill ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX is reached. This allows for exponential backoff strategy. Default value means no exponential backoff is performed and reconnect interval calculations are only based on ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL.
