# ZMQ::FFI::Util(3pm)

zmq convenience functions

## NAME

ZMQ::FFI::Util - zmq convenience functions

## VERSION

version 1.19

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use ZMQ::FFI::Util q(zmq_soname zmq_version)
    my $soname = zmq_soname();
    my ($major, $minor, $patch) = zmq_version($soname);
```

## FUNCTIONS

### zmq\_soname(\[die =\> 0\|1\])

Tries to load `"libzmq"` by looking for platform-specific shared library file using FFI::CheckLib with a fallback to Alien::ZMQ::latest.

Returns the name of the first one that was successful or undef. If you would prefer exceptional behavior pass `"die => 1"`

### ($major, $minor, $patch) = zmq\_version(\[$soname\])

return the libzmq version as the list `"($major, $minor, $patch)"`. `$soname` can either be a filename available in the ld cache or the path to a library file. If `$soname` is not specified it is resolved using `"zmq_soname"` above

If `$soname` cannot be resolved undef is returned
