If you plan use lzmq.threads module then you should also install llthreads2

  • Using LuaRocks:
    luarocks install lua-llthreads2 or luarocks install lua-llthreads2-compat
    luarocks install lzmq or install only ffi version luarocks install lzmq-ffi

  • Using LuaDist:
    luadist install lua-llthreads2 or luadist install lua-llthreads2-compat
    luadist install lzmq or luadist install lzmq-ffi

API

This is short API description.
See also exampes from OMQ - The Guide.

Performance

To run same test you should copy original performance tests to exampes/perf2/libzmq and run runner.lua from exampes/perf2. For now it require LuaJIT and exists C and FFI version of lzmq library.
Of course you can run any test manually.
