+nng_respondent - respondent protocol
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+[source,c]
+----------
+#include <nng/protocol/survey0/respondent.h>
+
+int nng_respondent0_open(nng_socket *s);
+----------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The _nng_respondent_ protocol is one half of a survey pattern.
+In this pattern, a surveyor sends a survey, which is broadcast to all
+peer respondents. The respondents then have a chance to reply (but after
+not obliged to). The survey itself is a timed event, so that responses
+received after the survey has finished are discarded.
+
+TIP: This protocol is useful in solving voting problems, such as leader
+election in cluster configurations, as well as certain kinds of service
+discovery problems.
+
+The _nng_respondent_ protocol is the respondent side, and the
+<<nng_surveyor.adoc#,nng_surveyor(7)>> protocol is the surveyor side.
+
+Socket Operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `nng_respondent0_open()` call creates a respondent socket. This socket
+may be used to receive messages, and then to send replies. Generally
+a reply can only be sent after receiving a survey, and generally the
+reply will be sent to surveyor from whom the last survey was received.
+
+Respondents may discard a survey by simply not replying to it.
+
+Raw mode sockets (set with `NNG_OPT_RAW`) ignore all these restrictions.
+
+Protocol Versions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Only version 0 of this protocol is supported. (At the time of writing,
+no other versions of this protocol have been defined. An earlier and
+incompatible version of the protocol was used in older pre-releases of
+http://nanomsg.org[nanomsg], but was not released in any production
+version.)
+
+Protocol Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following protocol-specific options are available.
+
+`NNG_OPT_MAXTTL`::
+
+ Maximum time-to-live. This option is an integer value
+ between 0 and 255,
+ inclusive, and is the maximum number of "hops" that a message may
+ pass through until it is discarded. The default value is 8. A value
+ of 0 may be used to disable the loop protection, allowing an infinite
+ number of hops.
+
+Protocol Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The _nng_respondent_ protocol uses a _backtrace_ in the header. This
+form uses an array of 32-bit big-endian identifiers, where the first
+element in the array
+identifies the local peer identifier to which the message will next be sent.
+This is a hop-by-hop header where each element in a path adds routing
+information to the end when sending a survey, and when replying removes
+elements to obtain the next hop information. The survey ID is at the
+end of this header and is inserted into the header as its first element
+by the originating surveyor. (Survey IDs are distinguished from hops by
+having their high order bit set to one.)
+
+// TODO: Insert reference to RFC.

+peer respondents. The respondents then have a chance to reply (but after

+
+Socket Operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `nng_surveyor0_open()` call creates a respondent socket. This socket
+may be used to send messages (surveys), and then to receive replies. Generally
+a reply can only be received after sending a survey. Generally a surveyor
+can expect to receive at most one reply from each responder. (Messages
+can be duplicated in some topologies, so there is no guarantee of this.)
+
+Attempts to receive on a socket with no outstanding survey will result
+in `NNG_ESTATE`. If the survey times out while the surveyor is waiting
+for replies, then the result will be `NNG_ETIMEDOUT`.
+
+Only one survey can be outstanding at a time; sending another survey will
+cancel the prior one, and any responses from respondents from the prior
+survey that arrive after this will be discarded.
+
+Raw mode sockets (set with `NNG_OPT_RAW`) ignore all these restrictions.
+
+Protocol Versions

+
+Only version 0 of this protocol is supported. (At the time of writing,
+no other versions of this protocol have been defined. An earlier and
+incompatible version of the protocol was used in older pre-releases of

+version.)
+
+Protocol Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following protocol-specific options are available.
+
+`NNG_OPT_SURVEYOR_SURVEYTIME`::
+
+ This read/write option is a duration (32-bit unsigned integer) representing
+ a relative number of milliseconds that following surveys will last.
+ When a new survey is started, a timer of this duration is also started.
+ Any responses arriving this time will be discarded. Attempts to receive
+ after the timer expires with no other surveys started will result in
+ `NNG_ESTATE`. Attempts to receive when this timer will result include
+ `NNG_ETIMEDOUT`.
+
+`NNG_OPT_MAXTTL`::
+
+ Maximum time-to-live. This option is an integer value
+ between 0 and 255,
+ inclusive, and is the maximum number of "hops" that a message may
+ pass through until it is discarded. The default value is 8. A value
+ of 0 may be used to disable the loop protection, allowing an infinite
