Rust zeromq bindings.

Rust Zeromq bindings.

To build, just run rustc lib.rs. rust-zmq is a pretty straight forward port of the C API into Rust:

extern mod zmq;

#[link_args="-lzmq"] // link against the C library
extern {}

fn main() {
    let ctx = match zmq::init(1) {
      Ok(ctx) => ctx,
      Err(e) => fail!(e.to_str())
    };

    let socket = match ctx.socket(zmq::REQ) {
      Ok(socket) => { socket },
      Err(e) => { fail!(e.to_str()) }
    };

    match socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:1234") {
      Ok(()) => (),
      Err(e) => fail!(e.to_str())
    }

    match socket.send_str("hello world!", 0) {
      Ok(()) => (),
      Err(e) => fail!(e.to_str())
    }
}
