ZContext (JeroMQ 0.5.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.zeromq.ZContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable
```
public class ZContext
extends Object
implements Closeable
```
ZContext provides a high-level ZeroMQ context management class It manages open sockets in the context and automatically closes these before terminating the context. It provides a simple way to set the linger timeout on sockets, and configure contexts for number of I/O threads. Sets-up signal (interrupt) handling for the process.

public void destroy()
```
    Destructor. Call this to gracefully terminate context and close any managed 0MQ sockets
  - createSocket
```
public ZMQ.Socket createSocket(SocketType type)
```
    Creates a new managed socket within this ZContext instance. Use this to get automatic management of the socket at shutdown
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - socket type
    
    Returns:
    
    Newly created Socket object
  - createSocket
```
@Deprecated
public ZMQ.Socket createSocket(int type)
```
    Deprecated. use createSocket(SocketType)
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - socket type (see ZMQ static class members)
    
    Returns:
    
    Newly created Socket object
  - destroySocket
```
public void destroySocket(ZMQ.Socket s)
```
    Destroys managed socket within this context and remove from sockets list
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - org.zeromq.Socket object to destroy
  - createSelector
```
@Deprecated
public Selector createSelector()
```
    Deprecated. this was exposed by mistake.
    
    Creates a selector. It needs to be closed by closeSelector(Selector).
    
    Returns:
    
    a newly created selector.
  - closeSelector
```
@Deprecated
public void closeSelector(Selector selector)
```
    Deprecated. createSelector() was exposed by mistake. while waiting for the API to disappear, this method is provided to allow releasing resources.
    
    Closes a selector. This is a DRAFT method, and may change without notice.
    
    Parameters:
    
    selector - the selector to close. It needs to have been created by createSelector().
  - createPoller
```
public ZMQ.Poller createPoller(int size)
```
  - shadow
```
public static ZContext shadow(ZContext ctx)
```
    Creates new shadow context. Shares same underlying org.zeromq.Context instance but has own list of managed sockets, io thread count etc.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ctx - Original ZContext to create shadow of
    
    Returns:
    
    New ZContext
  - fork
```
public ZMQ.Socket fork(ZThread.IAttachedRunnable runnable,
                       Object... args)
```
    Create an attached thread, An attached thread gets a ctx and a PAIR pipe back to its parent. It must monitor its pipe, and exit if the pipe becomes unreadable
    
    Parameters:
    
    runnable - attached thread
    
    args - forked runnable args
    
    Returns:
    
    pipe or null if there was an error
