Detailed Description

The core global object.

This is a special singleton object. It is used for internal PipeWire protocol features. Connecting to a PipeWire instance returns one core object, the caller should then register event listeners using pw_core_add_listener.

Updates to the core object are then provided through the pw_core_events interface. See Tutorial - Part 2: Enumerating Objects for an example.

See also
pw_core_methods.hello

◆ pw_core_sync

#define pw_core_sync (   c,
  ... 
)    pw_core_method(c,sync,0,__VA_ARGS__)

Do server roundtrip.

Ask the server to emit the 'done' event with seq.

Since methods are handled in-order and events are delivered in-order, this can be used as a barrier to ensure all previous methods and the resulting events have been handled.

Parameters
seqthe seq number passed to the done event
See also
pw_core_methods.sync
Examples
tutorial3.c.

◆ pw_core_pong

#define pw_core_pong (   c,
  ... 
)    pw_core_method(c,pong,0,__VA_ARGS__)

Reply to a server ping event.

Reply to the server ping event with the same seq.

Parameters
seqthe seq number received in the ping event
See also
pw_core_methods.pong

◆ pw_core_error

#define pw_core_error (   c,
  ... 
)    pw_core_method(c,error,0,__VA_ARGS__)

Fatal error event.

The error method is sent out when a fatal (non-recoverable) error has occurred. The id argument is the proxy object where the error occurred, most often in response to an event on that object. The message is a brief description of the error, for (debugging) convenience.

This method is usually also emitted on the resource object with id.

Parameters
idobject where the error occurred
reserror code
messageerror description
See also
pw_core_methods.error

◆ pw_core_destroy

#define pw_core_destroy (   c,
  ... 
)    pw_core_method(c,destroy,0,__VA_ARGS__)

Destroy an resource.

Destroy the server resource for the given proxy.

Parameters
objthe proxy to destroy

pw_core_methods.destroy
