The XSUB and XPUB socket types are documented, in the 0MQ/3.2 reference manual:

ZMQ_XPUB - Same as ZMQ_PUB except that you can receive subscriptions
from the peers in form of incoming messages. Subscription message is a
byte 1 (for subscriptions) or byte 0 (for unsubscriptions) followed by
the subscription body.

ZMQ_XSUB - Same as ZMQ_SUB except that you subscribe by sending
subscription messages to the socket. Subscription message is a byte 1
(for subscriptions) or byte 0 (for unsubscriptions) followed by the
subscription body.

You cannot set a SUBSCRIBE option on an XSUB, only on a SUB socket,
which implements that by sending a message to the XPUB socket as
explained here above.

To use XPUB or XSUB you must be using 3.2. To solve the problem of
subscriber detection you can use XPUB, which means using 3.2. You can
connect a SUB to an XPUB, just fine.
