Nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns. it aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use. implemented in c, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further dependencies.

the communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic blocks for building distributed systems. by combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications. the following scalability protocols are currently available:

pair - simple one-to-one communication
bus - simple many-to-many communication
reqrep - allows one to build clusters of stateless services
to process user requests
pubsub - distributes messages to large sets of interested subscribers
pipeline - aggregates messages from multiple sources and
load balances them among many destinations
survey - allows one to query state of multiple applications in a single go
this package contains the debug symbols for libnanomsg.
