+NAME

+nng_pull - pull protocol
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+[source,c]
+----------
+#include <nng/protocol/pipeline0/pull.h>
+
+int nng_pull0_open(nng_socket *s);
+----------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The _nng_pull_ protocol is one half of a pipeline pattern. The other half
+is the <<nng_push.adoc#,nng_push(7)>> protocol.
+
+In the pipeline pattern, pushers distribute messages to pullers. 
+Each message sent
+by a pusher will be sent to one of its peer pullers,
+chosen in a round-robin fashion
+from the set of connected peers available for receiving.
+This property makes this pattern useful in load-balancing scenarios.
+
+Socket Operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `nng_pull0_open()` call creates a puller socket.  This socket
+may be used to receive messages, but is unable to send them.  Attempts
+to send messages will result in `NNG_ENOTSUP`.
+
+When receiving messages, the _nng_pull_ protocol accepts messages as
+they arrive from peers.  If two peers both have a message ready, the
+order in which messages are handled is undefined.
+
+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 _nng_pull_ protocol has no protocol-specific options.
+
+Protocol Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The _nng_pull_ protocol has no protocol-specific headers.
