-nng_compat - compatibility with nanomsg 1.0
-
-== SYNOPSIS

-== DESCRIPTION
-
-(((compatibility layer)))
-xref:nng.7.adoc[_NNG_] provides source-level compatibility for
-most _libnanomsg_ 1.0 applications.
-
-IMPORTANT: This is intended to facilitate converting ((legacy applications)) to
-use _NNG_.
-New applications should use the newer xref:nng.7.adoc[_NNG_] API instead.
-
-Applications making use of this must take care
-to link with xref:libnng.3.adoc[_libnng_] instead of _libnn_.
-
-TIP: While not recommended for long term use, the value returned by
-xref:nng_socket_id.3.adoc[`nng_socket_id()`] can be used with these functions
-just like a value returned by xref:nn_socket.3compat.adoc[`nn_socket()`].
-This can be way to facilitate incremental transition to the new API.
-
-NOTE: Some capabilities, protocols, and transports, will not be accessible
-using this API, as the compatible API has no provision for expression
-of certain concepts introduced in the new API.
-
-NOTE: While reasonable efforts have been made to provide for compatibility,
-some things may behave differently, and some less common parts of the
-_libnanomsg_ 1.0 API are not supported at this time, including certain
-options and the statistics API.
-See the <<Caveats>> section below.
-
-=== Compiling
-
-When compiling legacy _nanomsg_ applications, it will generally be
-necessary to change the include search path to add the `compat` subdirectory
-of the directory where headers were installed.
-For example, if _NNG_ is installed in `$prefix`, then header files will
-normally be located in `$prefix/include/nng`.
-In this case, to build legacy _nanomsg_ apps against _NNG_ you would
-add `$prefix/include/nng/compat` to your compiler's search path.
-
-Alternatively, you can change your source code so that `#include` statements
-referring to `<nanomsg>` instead refer to `<nng/compat/nanomsg>`.
-For example, instead of:
-
-[source,c]
-----
-#include <nanomsg/nn.h>
-#include <nanomsg/reqrep.h>
-----
-
-you would have this:
-
-[source,c]
-----
-#include <nng/compat/nanomsg/nn.h>
-#include <nng/compat/nanomsg/reqrep.h>
-----
-
-Legacy applications built using these methods should be linked against _libnng_
-instead of _libnn_, just like any other _NNG_ application.
-

-=== Caveats
-
-The following caveats apply when using the legacy API with _NNG_.
-
-* Socket numbers can be quite large.
- The legacy _libnanomsg_ attempted to reuse socket numbers, like
- file descriptors in UNIX systems.
- _NNG_ avoids this to prevent accidental reuse or
- collision after a descriptor is closed.
- Consequently, socket numbers can become quite large, and should
- probably not be used for array indices.
-
-* The following options (`nn_getsockopt`) are unsupported:
- `NN_SNDPRIO`, `NN_RCVPRIO`, `NN_IPV4ONLY`.
- The priority options may be supported in the future, when
- the underlying capability is present in _NNG_.
-
-* Access to statistics using this legacy API
- (xref:nn_get_statistic.3compat.adoc[`nn_get_statistic()`]) is unsupported.
-
-* Some transports can support longer URLs than legacy _libnanomsg_ can.
- It is a good idea to use short pathnames in URLs if interoperability
- is a concern.
-
-* Only absolute paths are supported in `ipc://` URLs.
- For example, `ipc:///tmp/mysocket` is acceptable, but `ipc://mysocket` is not.
-
-* The WebSocket transport in this implementation (`ws://` URLs)
- only supports BINARY frames.
-
-* Some newer transports are unusable from this mode.
- In particular, this legacy API offers no way to configure
- TLS or ZeroTier parameters that may be required for use.
-
-* ABI versioning of the compatibility layer is not supported,
- and the `NN_VERSION_` macros are not present.
-
-* Runtime symbol information is not implemented.
- Specifically, there is no `nn_symbol()` function yet.
- (This may be addressed later if there is a need.)
-
-* The TCP transport (`tcp://` URLs) does not support specifying the local
- address or interface when binding. (This could be fixed in the future,
- but most likely this will be available only using the new API.)
-
-* The values of `NN_RCVMAXSIZE` are constrained.
- Specifically, values set larger than 2GB using the new API will be reported
- as unlimited (`-1`) in the new API, and the value `0` will disable any
- enforcement, just like `-1`.
- (There is no practical reason to ever want to limit the receive size to
- zero.)
-
-* This implementation counts buffers in terms of messages rather than bytes.
- As a result, the buffer sizes accessed with `NN_SNDBUF` and `NN_RCVBUF` are
- rounded up to a whole number of kilobytes, then divided by 1024, in order
- to approximate buffering assuming 1 KB messages.
- Few applications should need to adjust the default values.
