+Welcome
+-------
+
+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.
