int snd_seq_client_info_get_card | ( | const snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

Get the sound card number.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  card number or -1 if value is not available.

Only available for SND_SEQ_KERNEL_CLIENT clients.

The card number can be used to query state about the hardware device providing this client, by concatenating `"hw:CARD="` with the card number and using it as the `name` parameter to snd_ctl_open().

Note
  The return value of -1 is returned for two different conditions: when the running kernel does not support this operation, and when the client does not have a hardware card attached. See snd_seq_client_info_get_pid() for a way to determine if the currently running kernel has support for this operation.

See Also
  snd_seq_client_info_get_pid(), snd_card_get_name(), snd_card_get_longname(), snd_ctl_open(), snd_ctl_card_info()

Get client id of a client_info container.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

See Also
  snd_seq_get_client_info(), snd_seq_client_info_set_client(), snd_seq_client_id()

int snd_seq_client_info_get_error_bounce | ( | const snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

Get the error-bounce usage of a client_info container.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  1 if error-bounce is enabled

See Also
  snd_seq_get_client_info(), snd_seq_client_info_set_error_bounce()

const unsigned char* snd_seq_client_info_get_event_filter | ( | const snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

(DEPRECATED) Get the event filter bitmap of a client_info container

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  NULL if no event filter, or pointer to event filter bitmap

Use snd_seq_client_info_event_filter_check() instead.

See Also
  snd_seq_client_info_event_filter_add(), snd_seq_client_info_event_filter_del(), snd_seq_client_info_event_filter_check(), snd_seq_client_info_event_filter_clear(), snd_seq_get_client_info()

int snd_seq_client_info_get_event_lost | ( | const snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

Get the number of lost events of a client_info container.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  number of lost events

See Also
  snd_seq_get_client_info()

const char* snd_seq_client_info_get_name | ( | snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

Get the name of a client_info container.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  name string

See Also
  snd_seq_get_client_info(), snd_seq_client_info_set_name()

int snd_seq_client_info_get_num_ports | ( | const snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

Get the number of opened ports of a client_info container.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  number of opened ports

See Also
  snd_seq_get_client_info()

int snd_seq_client_info_get_pid | ( | const snd_seq_client_info_t * | info | ) |

Get the owning PID.

Parameters

  info | client_info container

Returns
  pid or -1 if value is not available.

Only available for SND_SEQ_USER_CLIENT clients.

Note
  The functionality for getting a client's PID and getting a client's card was added to the kernel at the same time, so you can use this function to determine if the running kernel supports reporting these values. If your own client has a valid PID as reported by this function, then the running kernel supports both snd_seq_client_info_get_card() and snd_seq_client_info_get_pid().
  Example code for determining kernel support:
  * int is_get_card_or_pid_supported(snd_seq_t *seq)
  * {
  * snd_seq_client_info_t *my_client_info;
  * snd_seq_client_info_alloca(&my_client_info);
  * snd_seq_get_client_info(seq, my_client_info);
  * return snd_seq_client_info_get_pid(my_client_info) != -1;
  * }
  *
