.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBint zmq_ctx_set (void \fR\fB\fI*context\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIoption_name\fR\fR\fB, int \fR\fB\fIoption_value\fR\fR\fB);\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fIzmq_ctx_set()\fR function shall set the option specified by the \fIoption_name\fR argument to the value of the \fIoption_value\fR argument\&.
.sp
The \fIzmq_ctx_set()\fR function accepts the following options:
.SS "ZMQ_IO_THREADS: Set number of I/O threads"
.sp
The \fIZMQ_IO_THREADS\fR argument specifies the size of the 0MQ thread pool to handle I/O operations\&. If your application is using only the \fIinproc\fR transport for messaging you may set this to zero, otherwise set it to at least one\&. This option only applies before creating any sockets on the context\&.
