-      The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends
-      the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided
-      by specialised messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide
-      an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns,
-      message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols
-      and more.
