void *zmq_ctx_new ();

The zmq_ctx_new() function creates a new 0MQ context.

This function replaces the deprecated function zmq_init(3).

The zmq_ctx_new() function shall return an opaque handle to the newly created context if successful. Otherwise it shall return NULL and set errno to one of the values defined below.
