And this only on received data. I.e. it does not affect what's sent, but it provides apps with buffers that are guarded so that character data can safely be printed in languages that require a trailing null. The alternative for apps is to always send that extra null, which doesn't seem an elegant solution. - Pieter Hintjens iMatix - www.imatix.com _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
