/** \page page_tutorial6 Tutorial - Part 6: Binding Objects
|
|
|
|
\ref page_tutorial5 | \ref page_tutorial "Index"
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial we show how to bind to an object so that we can
|
|
receive events and call methods on the object.
|
|
|
|
Let take a look at the following application to start.
|
|
|
|
\snippet tutorial6.c code
|
|
|
|
To compile the simple test application, copy it into a tutorial6.c file and
|
|
use:
|
|
|
|
gcc -Wall tutorial6.c -o tutorial6 $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libpipewire-0.3)
|
|
|
|
Most of this is the same as \ref page_tutorial2 where we simply
|
|
enumerated all objects on the server. Instead of just printing the object
|
|
id and some other properties, in this example we also bind to the object.
|
|
|
|
We use the `pw_registry_bind()` method on our registry object like this:
|
|
|
|
\snippet tutorial6.c registry_event_global
|
|
|
|
We bind to the first client object that we see. This gives us a pointer
|
|
to a `struct pw_proxy` that we can also cast to a `struct pw_client`.
|
|
|
|
On the proxy we can call methods and listen for events. PipeWire will
|
|
automatically serialize the method calls and events between client and
|
|
server for us.
|
|
|
|
We can now listen for events by adding a listener. We're going to
|
|
listen to the info event on the client object that is emitted right
|
|
after we bind to it or when it changes. This is not very different
|
|
from the registry listener we added before:
|
|
|
|
\snippet tutorial6.c client_info
|
|
|
|
\code{.c}
|
|
static void registry_event_global(void *_data, uint32_t id,
|
|
uint32_t permissions, const char *type,
|
|
uint32_t version, const struct spa_dict *props)
|
|
{
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
pw_client_add_listener(data->client,
|
|
&data->client_listener,
|
|
&client_events, data);
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
We're also quitting the mainloop after we get the info to nicely stop
|
|
our tutorial application.
|
|
|
|
When we stop the application, don't forget to destroy all proxies that
|
|
you created. Otherwise, they will be leaked:
|
|
|
|
\code{.c}
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
pw_proxy_destroy((struct pw_proxy *)data.client);
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
