zmq.msg.send(rmsg, socket, flags = .pbd_env$ZMQ.SR$BLOCK, serialize = TRUE)

zmq.msg.recv(socket, flags = .pbd_env$ZMQ.SR$BLOCK, unserialize = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{rmsg}{an R message}

\item{socket}{a ZMQ socket}

\item{flags}{a flag for method of send and receive}

\item{serialize}{if serialize the \code{rmsg}}

\item{unserialize}{if unserialize the received R message}
}
\value{
\code{zmq.msg.send()} returns 0 if successful, otherwise returns -1
and sets \code{errno} to \code{EFAULT}.

\code{zmq.msg.recv()} returns the message if successful, otherwise returns
-1 and sets \code{errno} to \code{EFAULT}.

### Using request-reply pattern.

### At the server, run next in background or the other window.
library(pbdZMQ, quietly = TRUE)

context <- zmq.ctx.new()
responder <- zmq.socket(context, .pbd_env$ZMQ.ST$REP)
zmq.bind(responder, "tcp://*:5555")

set.seed(1234)
ret <- rnorm(5)
print(ret)
zmq.msg.send(ret, responder)
zmq.close(responder)
zmq.ctx.destroy(context)


### At a client, run next in foreground.
library(pbdZMQ, quietly = TRUE)

context <- zmq.ctx.new()
requester <- zmq.socket(context, .pbd_env$ZMQ.ST$REQ)
zmq.connect(requester, "tcp://localhost:5555")

ret <- zmq.msg.recv(requester)
print(ret)
zmq.close(requester)
