### Examples

    ## Not run:
    ### Using request-reply pattern.

    ### At the server, run next in background or the other window.
    library(pbdZMQ, quietly = TRUE)

    context <- zmq.ctx.new()
    responder <- zmq.socket(context, .pbd_env$ZMQ.ST$REP)
    zmq.bind(responder, "tcp://*:5555")

    ret <- zmq.recv.multipart(responder, unserialize = TRUE)
    parts <- as.list(rep("World", 5))
    zmq.send.multipart(responder, parts)
    for(i in 1:5) cat(ret[[i]])

    zmq.close(responder)
    zmq.ctx.destroy(context)

    ### At a client, run next in foreground.
    library(pbdZMQ, quietly = TRUE)

    context <- zmq.ctx.new()
    requester <- zmq.socket(context, .pbd_env$ZMQ.ST$REQ)
    zmq.connect(requester, "tcp://localhost:5555")

    parts <- lapply(1:5, function(i.req){ paste("Sending Hello ", i.req, "\n") })
    zmq.send.multipart(requester, parts)
    ret <- zmq.recv.multipart(requester, unserialize = TRUE)
    print(ret)

    zmq.close(requester)
    zmq.ctx.destroy(context)
