Hi,

That functionality is already implemented for both IPC and TCP sockets.

The low level library has the ZMQ_USE_FD socket option to pass a file
descriptor, and the high level CZMQ has ZSYS_AUTO_USE_FD env var or
zsys_set_auto_use_fd(1) function to let zmq automatically match
endpoints to the corresponding sockets managed by systemd. As long as
the metadata matches (eg: file path for IPC, address + port for TCP), it
will just work out of the box.

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
