Examples

## Not run: 
### Using request-reply pattern.

### At the server, run next in background or the other window.
library(pbdZMQ, quietly = TRUE)

context <- zmq.ctx.new()
responder <- zmq.socket(context, ZMQ.ST()$REP)
zmq.bind(responder, "tcp://*:5555")
buf <- zmq.msg.recv(responder)
set.seed(1234)
ret <- rnorm(5)
print(ret)
zmq.msg.send(ret, responder)
zmq.close(responder)
zmq.ctx.destroy(context)


### At a client, run next in foreground.
library(pbdZMQ, quietly = TRUE)

context <- zmq.ctx.new()
requester <- zmq.socket(context, ZMQ.ST()$REQ)
zmq.connect(requester, "tcp://localhost:5555")
zmq.msg.send(NULL, requester)
ret <- zmq.msg.recv(requester)
print(ret)
zmq.close(requester)
zmq.ctx.destroy(context)
