The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols and more.

See the INSTALL file included with the distribution.

Extensive documentation is provided with the distribution. Refer to doc/zmq.html, or "man zmq" after you have installed 0MQ on your system.
