fixes #286 nng_pair0_open (and all others) need man page
fixes #279 consider restructuring man sections
This represents a rather significant rework, and major editing
effort, for the entire set of manual pages.
All of the pages now have a section number in their filename;
this assists in some other tooling, particularly ebook generation
as every link needs to be programmatically modified when combined
into an ebook.
Section 5 is introduced, and populated with pages for the main
types, and all options are now documented.
Numerous errors have been corrected, including rewriting certain
portions such as the header section of the surveyor protocol.
Much work has been done to facilitate index generation, although
certainly more work remains here.
Every internal link within these pages now resolves; there are no
more dead links. (This is required to generate Kindle format books.)

The request is resent if no reply arrives, -until a reply is received or the request times out. - -TIP: This protocol is useful in setting up RPC-like services. It -is also "reliable", in that a the requester will keep retrying until -a reply is received. - -The _nng_rep_ protocol is the replier side, and the -<<nng_req#,nng_req(7)>> protocol is the requester side. - -Socket Operations -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The `nng_rep0_open()` call creates a requester socket. This socket -may be used to receive messages (requests), and then to send replies. Generally -a reply can only be sent after receiving a request. (Attempts to receive -a message will result in `NNG_ESTATE` if there is no outstanding request.) - -Attempts to send on a socket with no outstanding requests will result -in `NNG_ESTATE`. - -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.) - -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_rep_ protocol uses a _backtrace_ in the header. This is -more fully documented in the <<nng_req#,nng_req(7)>> manual. - -SEE ALSO --------- -<<nng#,nng(7)>>, -<<nng_req#,nng_req(7)>> |
