I did not frame my question correctly and subject was misleading too. Let me put that correctly.
I am using a ZMQ FD in an external select() loop, i,.e, a ZMQ FD is added to the set of fds (regular unix fds) in an external select() loop. Consider a situation, for a given message (in a router dealer pattern), only a few bytes are received at the receiver end and not the complete message, so the external select() loop would wake up the ZMQ FD since it can read atleast few bytes, but when we call zmq_getsockopt() API with an option of ZMQ_EVENTS to get the list of events on the socket, ZMQ doesn't return any FD since no complete message is recvd (only a few bytes have been recvd). My question is: During the next select() iteration, would external select() wake up ZMQ FD again because we did not read the few bytes that were ready to be read on that fd OR will it NOT wake up ZMQ FD until new bytes are available for reading on this fd? What is ZMQ behavior in this case. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
