## Function Documentation

int snd_seq_connect_from | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq,
|  | int | myport,
|  | int | src_client,
|  | int | src_port
| ) |  |

simple subscription (w/o exclusive & time conversion)

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  myport | the port id as receiver
  src_client | sender client id
  src_port | sender port id

Returns
  0 on success or negative error code

Connect from the given sender client:port to the given destination port in the current client.

  snd_seq_subscribe_port(), snd_seq_disconnect_from()

int snd_seq_connect_to | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq,
|  | int | myport,
|  | int | dest_client,
|  | int | dest_port
| ) |  |

simple subscription (w/o exclusive & time conversion)

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  myport | the port id as sender
  dest_client | destination client id
  dest_port | destination port id

Returns

int snd_seq_control_queue | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq,
|  | int | q,
|  | int | type,
|  | int | value,
|  | snd_seq_event_t * | ev
| ) |  |

queue controls - start/stop/continue

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  q | queue id to control
  type | event type
  value | event value
  ev | event instance

This function sets up general queue control event and sends it. To send at scheduled time, set the schedule in ev. If ev is NULL, the event is composed locally and sent immediately to the specified queue. In any cases, you need to call snd_seq_drain_output() appropriately to feed the event.

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  name | the name of the port
  caps | capability bits
  type | type bits

Returns
  the created port number or negative error code

Creates a port with the given capability and type bits.

int snd_seq_parse_address | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq,
|  | snd_seq_addr_t * | addr,
|  | const char * | arg
| ) |  |

parse the given string and get the sequencer address

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  addr | the address pointer to be returned
  arg | the string to be parsed

Returns
  0 on success or negative error code

This function parses the sequencer client and port numbers from the given string. The client and port tokens are separated by either colon or period, e.g. 128:1. When seq is not NULL, the function accepts also a client name not only digit numbers. Actually arg need to be only a prefix of the wanted client. That is, if a client named "Foobar XXL Master 2012" with number 128 is available, then parsing "Foobar" will return the address 128:0 if no other client is an exact match.

int snd_seq_reset_pool_input | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq | ) |

reset client input pool

Parameters

Returns
  0 on success or negative error code

So far, this works identically like snd_seq_drop_input().

int snd_seq_reset_pool_output | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq | ) |

reset client output pool

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle

Returns
  0 on success or negative error code

So far, this works identically like snd_seq_drop_output().

int snd_seq_set_client_event_filter | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq,
|  | int | event_type
| ) |  |

add client event filter

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  event_type | event type to be added

Returns
  0 on success or negative error code

  snd_seq_set_client_info()

int snd_seq_set_client_name | ( | snd_seq_t * | seq,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

set client name

Parameters

  seq | sequencer handle
  name | name string

Returns
  0 on success or negative error code
