Branch: pkgsrc-2022Q4, Version: 4.8.1, Package name: cppzmq-4.8.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

cppzmq is a C++ binding for libzmq. It has the following design goals:

* cppzmq maps the libzmq C API to C++ concepts. In particular:
- it is type-safe (the libzmq C API exposes various class-like concepts as
void*)
- it provides exception-based error handling (the libzmq C API provides
errno-based error handling)
- it provides RAII-style classes that automate resource management (the
libzmq C API requires the user to take care to free resources explicitly)

* cppzmq is a light-weight, header-only binding. You only need to include the
header file zmq.hpp (and maybe zmq_addon.hpp) to use it.

* zmq.hpp is meant to contain direct mappings of the abstractions provided by
the libzmq C API, while zmq_addon.hpp provides additional higher-level
abstractions.
