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.
