DESCRIPTION
zproc - process configuration and status, plus unix pipes on steroids
-
Warning
zproc class have several limitations atm * is tested on zmq4 on Linux and OSX. * does not work on Windows, where you get empty stubs for most of the methods * does not work on libzmq3 and libzmq2. We have experienced stalls and timeouts when running tests against such old version
Note: zproc is not yet stable, so there are no guarantees regarding API stability. Some methods can have weird semantics or strange API.
Class zproc run an external process and to use ZeroMQ sockets to communicate with it. In other words standard input and outputs MAY be connected with appropriate zeromq socket and data flow is managed by zproc itself. This makes zproc the best in class way how to run and manage sub processes.
Data are sent and received as zframes (zframe_t), so zproc does not try to interpret content of the messages in any way. See test example on how to use it.
