<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>nng_ctx_open()</code> function creates a separate context to be used with
the socket <em>s</em>,
and returns it at the location pointed by <em>ctxp</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-note" title="Note"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
Not every protocol supports creation of separate contexts.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Contexts allow the independent and concurrent use of stateful operations
using the same socket.
For example, two different contexts created on a <a href="nng_rep.7.html"><em>rep</em></a>
socket can each receive requests, and send replies to them, without any
regard to or interference with each other.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>
TIP: Using contexts is an excellent way to write simpler concurrent
applications, while retaining the benefits of the protocol-specific
advanced processing, avoiding the need to bypass that with
<a href="nng.7.html#raw_mode">raw mode</a> sockets.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-note" title="Note"></i>

<td class="content">
Use of contexts with <a href="nng.7.html#raw_mode">raw mode</a> sockets is
nonsensical, and not supported.
