Generated CZMQ::FFI

This repository is used to package and release the Ruby gem czmq-ffi-gen, the low-level Ruby FFI binding for CZMQ. The gem czmq-ffi-gen can be used as a base for a higher-level CZMQ binding like CZTop. But of course you can use it for anything you want. :-)

This is generated code. It is generated from the API models in CZMQ using zproject. It doesn't feel like Ruby. It's not intended to be used directly. Instead, use CZTop, or write your own wrapper for this library.

The actual generated code lies in CZMQ, which is a Git submodule of this repository, registered under vendor/czmq. So if you're not happy with any of the generated code, go have a closer look at CZMQ (or zproject, which is used by CZMQ to generate the low-level binding).

For that same reason, API documentation of unreleased code (directly off this repository), like rubydoc.info/github/paddor/czmq-ffi-gen does NOT include any of the generated code. Rubydoc.info doesn't check out Git submodules as part of its documentation procedure.

However, the API documentation of the released gem should include all the code, as the gem release process will include all required source files directly within the gem.

Check out http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/czmq-ffi-gen for the API documentation for the released gem.
