Function Documentation

int snd_seq_client_id snd_seq_t seq  ) 
 

Get the client id.

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
Returns:
the client id
Returns the id of the specified client. If an error occurs, function returns the negative error code. A client id is necessary to inquiry or to set the client information. A user client is assigned from 128 to 191.

See also:
snd_seq_open()

int snd_seq_close snd_seq_t seq  ) 
 

Close the sequencer.

Parameters:
handle Handle returned from snd_seq_open()
Returns:
0 on success otherwise a negative error code
Closes the sequencer client and releases its resources. After a client is closed, an event with SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_EXIT is broadcast to announce port. The connection between other clients are disconnected. Call this just before exiting your program.

See also:
snd_seq_close()

size_t snd_seq_get_input_buffer_size snd_seq_t seq  ) 
 

Return the size of input buffer.

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
Returns:
the size of input buffer in bytes
Obtains the size of input buffer. This buffer is used to read byte-stream of input events from sequencer.

See also:
snd_seq_set_input_buffer_size()

size_t snd_seq_get_output_buffer_size snd_seq_t seq  ) 
 

Return the size of output buffer.

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
Returns:
the size of output buffer in bytes
Obtains the size of output buffer. This buffer is used to store decoded byte-stream of output events before transferring to sequencer.

See also:
snd_seq_set_output_buffer_size()

const char* snd_seq_name snd_seq_t seq  ) 
 

get identifier of sequencer handle

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
Returns:
ascii identifier of sequencer handle
Returns the ASCII identifier of the given sequencer handle. It's the same identifier specified in snd_seq_open().

See also:
snd_seq_open()

int snd_seq_nonblock snd_seq_t seq,
int  nonblock
 

Set nonblock mode.

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
nonblock 0 = block, 1 = nonblock mode
Returns:
0 on success otherwise a negative error code
Change the blocking mode of the given client. In block mode, the client falls into sleep when it fills the output memory pool with full events. The client will be woken up after a certain amount of free space becomes available.

See also:
snd_seq_open()

int snd_seq_open snd_seq_t **  seqp,
const char *  name,
int  streams,
int  mode
 

Open the ALSA sequencer.

Parameters:
seqp Pointer to a snd_seq_t pointer. This pointer must be kept and passed to most of the other sequencer functions.
name The sequencer's "name". This is not a name you make up for your own purposes; it has special significance to the ALSA library. Usually you need to pass "default" here.
streams The read/write mode of the sequencer. Can be one of three values:
Note:
Internally, these are translated to O_WRONLY, O_RDONLY and O_RDWR respectively and used as the second argument to the C library open() call.
Parameters:
mode Optional modifier. Can be either 0, or SND_SEQ_NONBLOCK, which will make read/write operations non-blocking. This can also be set later using snd_seq_nonblock().
Returns:
0 on success otherwise a negative error code
Creates a new handle and opens a connection to the kernel sequencer interface. After a client is created successfully, an event with SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_START is broadcast to announce port.

See also:
snd_seq_open_lconf(), snd_seq_close(), snd_seq_type(), snd_seq_name(), snd_seq_nonblock(), snd_seq_client_id()

int snd_seq_open_lconf snd_seq_t **  seqp,
const char *  name,
int  streams,
int  mode,
snd_config_t lconf
 

Open the ALSA sequencer using local configuration.

Parameters:
seqp Pointer to a snd_seq_t pointer.
streams The read/write mode of the sequencer.
mode Optional modifier
lconf Local configuration
Returns:
0 on success otherwise a negative error code
See the snd_seq_open() function for further details. The extension is that the given configuration is used to resolve abstract name.

See also:
snd_seq_open()

int snd_seq_poll_descriptors snd_seq_t seq,
struct pollfd *  pfds,
unsigned int  space,
short  events
 

Get poll descriptors.

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
pfds array of poll descriptors
space space in the poll descriptor array
events polling events to be checked (POLLIN and POLLOUT)
Returns:
count of filled descriptors
Get poll descriptors assigned to the sequencer handle. Since a sequencer handle can duplex streams, you need to set which direction(s) is/are polled in events argument. When POLLIN bit is specified, the incoming events to the ports are checked.

To check the returned poll-events, call snd_seq_poll_descriptors_revents() instead of reading the pollfd structs directly.

See also:
snd_seq_poll_descriptors_count(), snd_seq_poll_descriptors_revents()

int snd_seq_poll_descriptors_count snd_seq_t seq,
short  events
 

Returns the number of poll descriptors.

Parameters:
seq sequencer handle
events the poll events to be checked (POLLIN and POLLOUT)
Returns:
the number of poll descriptors.
Get the number of poll descriptors. The polling events to be checked can be specified by the second argument. When both input and output are checked, pass POLLIN|POLLOUT

See also:
snd_seq_poll_descriptors()
