In pseudocode, it might look like this:
void check_events(zsock)
{
int revents = zsock.getsockopt(ZMQ_EVENTS);
if (revents & ZMQ_POLLIN) {
// "call_later" is some function that processes the call in the
// next iteration of your event loop.
call_later(on_readable);
}
}
// call this callback when the ZMQ_FD is readable
void on_readable(zsock)
{
int revents = zsock.getsockopt(ZMQ_EVENTS);
if (revents & ZMQ_POLLIN) {
// call zmq_recv() repeatedly to receive all frames of a multipart message
}
check_events(zsock);
}
void do_send(zsock, msg)
{
zsock.send(msg);
check_events(zsock);
}

So basically I will just write (I use the C++ bindings):
mySocket.send(myMsg);
mySocket.getsockopt(ZMQ_EVENTS); // Update the file descriptor state
