Detailed Description

PipeWire rt-loop object.

This loop starts a new real-time thread that is designed to run the processing graph.

Function Documentation

pw_data_loop_new()

struct pw_data_loop* pw_data_loop_new

(

const struct spa_dict *

props

)

Make a new loop.

Make a new loop.

Returns

a newly allocated data loop

pw_data_loop_add_listener()

void pw_data_loop_add_listener	(	struct pw_data_loop *	loop,
		struct spa_hook *	listener,
		const struct pw_data_loop_events *	events,
		void *	data
	)

Add an event listener to loop.

pw_data_loop_wait()

int pw_data_loop_wait	(	struct pw_data_loop *	loop,
		int	timeout
	)

wait for activity on the loop up to timeout milliseconds.

Should be called from the loop function

pw_data_loop_exit()

void pw_data_loop_exit

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

make sure the thread will exit.

Can be called from a loop callback

pw_data_loop_get_loop()

struct pw_loop* pw_data_loop_get_loop

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

Get the loop implementation of this data loop.

pw_data_loop_destroy()

void pw_data_loop_destroy

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

Destroy the loop.

Destroy the loop.

Parameters

loop	the data loop to destroy

pw_data_loop_start()

int pw_data_loop_start

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

Start the processing thread.

Start the processing thread.

Parameters

loop	the data loop to start

Returns

0 if ok, -1 on error

This will start the realtime thread that manages the loop.

pw_data_loop_stop()

int pw_data_loop_stop

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

Stop the processing thread.

Stop the processing thread.

Parameters

loop	the data loop to Stop

Returns

0

This will stop and join the realtime thread that manages the loop.

pw_data_loop_in_thread()

bool pw_data_loop_in_thread

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

Check if the current thread is the processing thread.

Check if the current thread is the processing thread.

Parameters

loop	the data loop to check

Returns

true is the current thread is the data loop thread

pw_data_loop_get_thread()

struct spa_thread* pw_data_loop_get_thread

(

struct pw_data_loop *

loop

)

Get the thread object.

Parameters

loop	the data loop to get the thread of

Returns

the thread object or NULL when the thread is not running

On posix based systems this returns a pthread_t

pw_data_loop_invoke()

int pw_data_loop_invoke	(	struct pw_data_loop *	loop,
		spa_invoke_func_t	func,
		uint32_t	seq,
		const void *	data,
		size_t	size,
		bool	block,
		void *	user_data
	)

invoke func in the context of the thread or in the caller thread when the loop is not running.

Since 0.3.3

pw_data_loop_set_thread_utils()

void pw_data_loop_set_thread_utils	(	struct pw_data_loop *	loop,
		struct spa_thread_utils *	impl
	)

Set a custom spa_thread_utils for this loop.

Setting NULL restores the system default implementation. Since 0.3.50

Set a custom spa_thread_utils for this loop.

Parameters

loop	the data loop to set the thread utils on
impl	the thread utils implementation

This configures a custom spa_thread_utils implementation for this data loop. Use NULL to restore the system default implementation.
