 * \brief Sink the contents of a stream to a ZMQ PUB socket

 *
 * \details
 * This block acts as a streaming sink for a GNU Radio flowgraph
 * and writes its contents to a ZMQ PUB socket. A PUB socket may
 * have subscribers and will pass all incoming stream data to each
 * subscriber with a matching key. If the publisher's key is set to
 * "GNURadio", the following example subscriber keys will match: "G",
 * "GN", .., "GNURadio". In other words, the subscriber must contain
 * the first set of characters from the publisher's key. If the subscriber
 * sets an empty key "", it will accept all input messages from the
 * publisher (including the key itself if one is set). Subscribers
 * can either be another gr-zeromq source block or a non-GNU Radio
 * ZMQ socket.
