NAME

       nng_inproc - intra-process transport

SYNOPSIS

           #include <nng/transport/inproc/inproc.h>

           int nng_inproc_register(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The inproc transport provides communication support between sockets within the same process. This may be
       used as an alternative to slower transports when data must be moved within the same process.

       This transport tries hard to avoid copying data, and thus is very light-weight.

   Registration
       This transport is generally built-in to the core, so no extra steps to use it should be necessary.

   URI Format
       This transport uses URIs using the scheme inproc://, followed by an arbitrary string of text, terminated
       by a NUL byte.

       Multiple URIs can be used within the same application, and they will not interfere with one another.

       Two applications may also use the same URI without interfering with each other, and they will be unable
       to communicate with each other using that URI.

   Socket Address
       When using an nng_sockaddr structure, the actual structure is of type nng_sockaddr_inproc.

   Transport Options
       The inproc transport has no special options.

           Note

           While inproc accepts the option NNG_OPT_RECVMAXSZ for compatibility, the value of the option is
           ignored with no enforcement. As inproc peers are in the same address space, they are implicitly
           trusted, and thus it makes no sense to spend cycles protecting a program from itself.
