The comment is a bit misleading. I didn't write the original code, but the idea is that requesting a named service, e.g. "telnet" can return either a TCP or UDP socket based on the service definition. Plus, it will also invoke NSS/NIS to resolve the service name to a numeric port + socket type. In our case the point is kind of moot since 0MQ explicitly uses only numeric port numbers so we don't want to allow named services anyway. -mato _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
