nanonext (version 1.5.2)

.context: Technical Utility: Open Context

Description

Open a new Context to be used with a Socket. This function is a performance variant of context(), designed to wrap a socket in a function argument when calling request() or reply().

Usage

.context(socket)

Value

An external pointer.

Arguments

socket

a Socket.

Details

External pointers created by this function are unclassed, hence methods for contexts such as close() will not work (use reap() instead). Otherwise they function identically to a Context when passed to all messaging functions.
