ZMQ_CTX_TERM(3)                   0MQ Manual                   ZMQ_CTX_TERM(3)

NAME
       zmq_ctx_term - terminate a 0MQ context

SYNOPSIS
       int zmq_ctx_term (void *context);

DESCRIPTION
       The zmq_ctx_term() function shall destroy the 0MQ context context.

       Context termination is performed in the following steps:

        1. Any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open
           within context shall return immediately with an error code of
           ETERM. With the exception of zmq_close(), any further operations on
           sockets open within context shall fail with an error code of ETERM.

        2. After interrupting all blocking calls, zmq_ctx_term() shall block
           until the following conditions are satisfied:

           o   All sockets open within context have been closed with
               zmq_close().

           o   For each socket within context, all messages sent by the
               application with zmq_send() have either been physically
               transferred to a network peer, or the socket's linger period
               set with the ZMQ_LINGER socket option has expired.

       For further details regarding socket linger behaviour refer to the
       ZMQ_LINGER option in zmq_setsockopt(3).

       This function replaces the deprecated functions zmq_term(3) and
       zmq_ctx_destroy(3).

RETURN VALUE
       The zmq_ctx_term() function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise
       it shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.

ERRORS
       EFAULT
           The provided context was invalid.

       EINTR
           Termination was interrupted by a signal. It can be restarted if
           needed.
