<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>zmq_getsockopt()</em> function shall retrieve the value for the option
specified by the <em>option_name</em> argument for the ØMQ socket pointed to by the
<em>socket</em> argument, and store it in the buffer pointed to by the <em>option_value</em>
argument. The <em>option_len</em> argument is the size in bytes of the buffer pointed
to by <em>option_value</em>; upon successful completion <em>zmq_getsockopt()</em> shall
modify the <em>option_len</em> argument to indicate the actual size of the option
value stored in the buffer.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The following options can be retrieved with the <em>zmq_getsockopt()</em> function:</p></div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_zmq_affinity_retrieve_i_o_thread_affinity">ZMQ_AFFINITY: Retrieve I/O thread affinity</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>ZMQ_AFFINITY</em> option shall retrieve the I/O thread affinity for newly
created connections on the specified <em>socket</em>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Affinity determines which threads from the ØMQ I/O thread pool associated with
the socket&#8217;s <em>context</em> shall handle newly created connections.  A value of zero
specifies no affinity, meaning that work shall be distributed fairly among all
ØMQ I/O threads in the thread pool. For non-zero values, the lowest bit
corresponds to thread 1, second lowest bit to thread 2 and so on.  For example,
a value of 3 specifies that subsequent connections on <em>socket</em> shall be handled
exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>See also <a href="zmq_init.html">zmq_init(3)</a> for details on allocating the number of I/O
threads for a specific <em>context</em>.</p></div>
