Detailed Description

The PipeWire context object manages all locally available resources.

It is used by both clients and servers.

The context is used to:

const struct pw_context_events events,
void *  data 
)

Add a new event listener to a context.

◆ pw_context_get_properties()

const struct pw_properties* pw_context_get_properties ( struct pw_context context)

◆ pw_context_update_properties()

int pw_context_update_properties ( struct pw_context context,
const struct spa_dict dict 
)

Update the context properties.

Update the context properties.

Parameters
contexta context
dictproperties to update

◆ pw_context_get_conf_section()

const char* pw_context_get_conf_section ( struct pw_context context,
const char *  section 
)

Get a config section for this context.

Since 0.3.22, deprecated, use pw_context_conf_section_for_each().

◆ pw_context_parse_conf_section()

int pw_context_parse_conf_section ( struct pw_context context,
struct pw_properties conf,
const char *  section 
)

Parse a standard config section for this context.

Since 0.3.22

◆ pw_context_conf_update_props()

int pw_context_conf_update_props ( struct pw_context context,
const char *  section,
struct pw_properties props 
)

update properties from a section into props.

Since 0.3.45

◆ pw_context_conf_section_for_each()

int pw_context_conf_section_for_each ( struct pw_context context,
const char *  section,
int(*)(void *data, const char *location, const char *section, const char *str, size_t len)  callback,
void *  data 
)

emit callback for all config sections.

Since 0.3.45

◆ pw_context_conf_section_match_rules()

int pw_context_conf_section_match_rules ( struct pw_context context,
const char *  section,
const struct spa_dict props,
int(*)(void *data, const char *location, const char *action, const char *str, size_t len)  callback,

◆ pw_context_get_support()

const struct spa_support* pw_context_get_support ( struct pw_context context,
uint32_t *  n_support 
)

Get the context support objects.

◆ pw_context_get_main_loop()
