The context is used to:

◆ pw_context_new()

struct pw_context * pw_context_new ( struct pw_loop * main_loop,
struct pw_properties * properties,
size_t user_data_size )

Make a new context object for a given main_loop.

Ownership of the properties is taken, even if the function returns NULL.

Parameters
main_loopA main loop to run in. This must stay alive unil pw_context_destroy() is called.
propsextra properties

Returns
The context object on success, or NULL on failure, in which case errno is set.

Make a new context object for a given main_loop.

Parameters

Returns
a newly allocated context object
Examples
bluez-session.c, export-sink.c, export-source.c, export-spa-device.c, export-spa.c, internal.c, tutorial2.c, tutorial3.c, tutorial6.c, video-dsp-src.c, and video-src.c.

int pw_context_conf_section_for_each ( struct pw_context * context,
const char * section,
int(*)(void *data, const char *location, const char *section, const char *str, size_t len) callback,

◆ pw_context_get_data_loop()

struct pw_data_loop * pw_context_get_data_loop ( struct pw_context * context)

Get the context data loop.

This loop runs on the realtime thread. This acquires a loop from the generic data.rt class. Use pw_context_acquire_loop() instead. Since 0.3.56

const char * type )

find information about registered export type

◆ pw_context_set_object()

const char * type,
void * value )

add an object to the context

Parameters
contextThe context.
typeThe type of the object, usually a TYPE_INTERFACE_ value.
valueThe object value. Must last as long as the context and must be of the type corresponding to the type.
Returns
A negative number on failure (out of memory).

◆ pw_context_get_object()

void * pw_context_get_object ( struct pw_context * context,
const char * type )

get an object from the context
