Detailed Description

The PipeWire context object manages all locally available resources.

It is used by both clients and servers.

The context is used to:

Function Documentation

◆ pw_context_add_listener()

void pw_context_add_listener ( struct pw_context *  context,
struct spa_hook listener,
const struct pw_context_events events,
void *  data 
)

Add a new event listener to a context.

References spa_hook_list_append().

◆ pw_context_add_spa_lib()

int pw_context_add_spa_lib ( struct pw_context *  context,
const char *  factory_regex,
const char *  lib 
)

add a spa library for the given factory_name regex

◆ pw_context_destroy()

void pw_context_destroy ( struct pw_context *  context)

◆ pw_context_find_export_type()

const struct pw_export_type* pw_context_find_export_type ( struct pw_context *  context,
const char *  type 
)

find information about registered export type

References spa_list_for_each, spa_streq(), and pw_export_type::type.

◆ pw_context_find_factory()

struct pw_impl_factory* pw_context_find_factory ( struct pw_context *  context,
const char *  name 
)

Find a factory by name.

Parameters
contextthe context object
namethe name of the factory to find

Find in the list of factories registered in context for one with the given name.

Parameters
contextthe context
namethe factory name

References name, spa_list_for_each, and spa_streq().

◆ pw_context_find_global()

struct pw_global* pw_context_find_global ( struct pw_context *  context,
uint32_t  id 
)

Find a context global by id.

Parameters
contextthe context
idthe global id

◆ pw_context_find_spa_lib()

const char* pw_context_find_spa_lib ( struct pw_context *  context,
const char *  factory_name 
)

find the library name for a spa factory

References pw_array_for_each.

Referenced by pw_context_load_spa_handle().

◆ pw_context_for_each_global()

int pw_context_for_each_global ( struct pw_context *  context,
int(*)(void *data, struct pw_global *global)  callback,
void *  data 
)

Iterate the globals of the context.

The callback should return 0 to fetch the next item, any other value stops the iteration and returns the value. When all callbacks return 0, this function returns 0 when all globals are iterated.
