NAME

       zmq_term - terminate 0MQ context

SYNOPSIS

       int zmq_term (void *context);

DESCRIPTION

       The zmq_term() function shall terminate 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_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).

RETURN VALUE

       The zmq_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.
