### 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")
    buf <- zmq.msg.recv(responder)
    set.seed(1234)
    ret <- rnorm(5)
    print(ret)
    zmq.msg.send(ret, responder)
    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")
    zmq.msg.send(NULL, requester)
    ret <- zmq.msg.recv(requester)
    print(ret)
    zmq.close(requester)
    zmq.ctx.destroy(context)
