Examples

### 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, .pbd_env$ZMQ.ST$REP)
zmq.bind(responder, "tcp://*:5555")

ret <- zmq.recv.multipart(responder, unserialize = TRUE)
parts <- as.list(rep("World", 5))
zmq.send.multipart(responder, parts)
for(i in 1:5) cat(ret[[i]])

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, .pbd_env$ZMQ.ST$REQ)
zmq.connect(requester, "tcp://localhost:5555")

parts <- lapply(1:5, function(i.req){ paste("Sending Hello ", i.req, "\n") })
zmq.send.multipart(requester, parts)
ret <- zmq.recv.multipart(requester, unserialize = TRUE)
print(ret)

zmq.close(requester)
zmq.ctx.destroy(context)
