The nanomsg library is a simple high-performance implementation of several
"scalability protocols". These scalability protocols are light-weight messaging
protocols which can be used to solve a number of very common messaging
patterns, such as request/reply, publish/subscribe, surveyor/respondent,
and so forth.  These protocols can run over a variety of transports such
as TCP, UNIX sockets, and even WebSocket.

     (Specifically mingw and older Microsoft compilers are *NOT supported)
   * CMake 2.8.7 or newer, available in $PATH as `cmake`

2. POSIX (Linux, MacOS X, UNIX)
   * ANSI C compiler supporting C89
   * POSIX pthreads (should be present on all modern POSIX systems)
   * BSD sockets support for both TCP and UNIX domain sockets
   * CMake (http://cmake.org) 2.8.7 or newer, available in $PATH as `cmake`

3. Documentation (optional)
   * asciidoctor (http://asciidoctor.org/) available as `asciidoctor`

   * Also available on-line at http://nanomsg.org/documentation

Build it with CMake
-------------------

1.  Go to the root directory of the local source repository.
2.  To perform an out-of-source build, run:
3.  `mkdir build`
4.  `cd build`
5.  `cmake ..`
    (You can add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local or some other directory.)
6.  `cmake --build .`
7.  `ctest -C Debug .`
8.  `cmake --build . --target install`
