Technical Utility: Open Context

Description

Open a new Context to be used with a Socket. This function is a performance variant of context, designed to wrap a socket in a function argument when calling request or reply.

Usage

.context(socket)

Arguments

Details

External pointers created by this function are unclassed, hence methods for contexts such as close will not work (use reap instead). Otherwise they function identically to a Context when passed to all messaging functions.

Value

An external pointer.

Examples

s <- socket("req", listen = "inproc://nanonext")
r <- request(.context(s), "request data")
close(s)
