.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The zframe class provides methods to send and receive single message frames across 0MQ sockets\&. A \fIframe\fR corresponds to one zmq_msg_t\&. When you read a frame from a socket, the zframe_more() method indicates if the frame is part of an unfinished multipart message\&. The zframe_send method normally destroys the frame, but with the ZFRAME_REUSE flag, you can send the same frame many times\&. Frames are binary, and this class has no special support for text data\&.
.sp
Please add \fI@discuss\fR section in \fI\&./\&.\&./src/zframe\&.c\fR\&.
