SYNOPSIS
--------
*int zmq_ctx_destroy (void '*context');*


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _zmq_ctx_destroy()_ function shall destroy the 0MQ context 'context'.

Context termination is performed in the following steps:

1. Any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open within
   'context' shall return immediately with an error code of ETERM.  With the
   exception of _zmq_close()_, any further operations on sockets open within
   'context' shall fail with an error code of ETERM.

2. After interrupting all blocking calls, _zmq_ctx_destroy()_ shall _block_ until the
   following conditions are satisfied:

   * All sockets open within 'context' have been closed with _zmq_close()_.

   * For each socket within 'context', all messages sent by the application
     with _zmq_send()_ have either been physically transferred to a network
     peer, or the socket's linger period set with the _ZMQ_LINGER_ socket
     option has expired.

36
For further details regarding socket linger behaviour refer to the _ZMQ_LINGER_
37 38
option in linkzmq:zmq_setsockopt[3].

This function is deprecated by linkzmq:zmq_ctx_term[3].
