Rust ZeroMQ bindings.
Installation
Currently, rust-zmq requires ZeroMQ 4.1 or newer. For example, on recent Debian-based distributions, you can use the following command to get the prerequiste headers and library installed:
apt install libzmq3-dev
If your OS of choice does not provide packages of a new-enough libzmq, you will first have to install it from source; see https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/releases.
rust-zmq uses cargo to install. Users should add this to
their Cargo.toml
file:
[dependencies.zmq]
git = "https://github.com/erickt/rust-zmq.git"
Install for developers:
% git clone https://github.com/erickt/rust-zmq
% cd rust-zmq
% cargo build
Usage
rust-zmq
is a pretty straight forward port of the C API into Rust:
extern crate zmq;
fn main() {
let ctx = zmq::Context::new();
let mut socket = ctx.socket(zmq::REQ).unwrap();
socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:1234").unwrap();
socket.send_str("hello world!", 0).unwrap();
}
You can find more usage examples in https://github.com/erickt/rust-zmq/tree/master/examples.
