Detailed Description

A global object visible to remote clients.

A global object is visible to remote clients and represents a resource that can be used or inspected.

Global objects represent resources that are available on the PipeWire context and are accessible to remote clients. Globals come and go when devices or other resources become available for clients.

Remote clients receives a list of globals when it binds to the registry object. See Registry.

A client can bind to a global to send methods or receive events from the global.

See Proxy

◆ pw_global_register()

int pw_global_register ( struct pw_global global)

Register a global object to the context registry.

Register a global object to the context registry.

Parameters
globala global to add
Returns
0 on success < 0 errno value on failure

◆ pw_global_add_listener()

void pw_global_add_listener ( struct pw_global global,
struct spa_hook listener,
const struct pw_global_events events,
void *  data 
)

Add an event listener on the global.

◆ pw_global_get_permissions()

uint32_t pw_global_get_permissions ( struct pw_global global,
struct pw_impl_client client 
)

Get the permissions of the global for a given client.

◆ pw_global_get_context()

struct pw_context* pw_global_get_context ( struct pw_global global)

Get the context object of this global.

◆ pw_global_get_type()

const char* pw_global_get_type ( struct pw_global global)

Get the global type.

◆ pw_global_is_type()

bool pw_global_is_type ( struct pw_global global,
const char *  type 
)

Check a global type.

◆ pw_global_get_version()

uint32_t pw_global_get_version ( struct pw_global global)

Get the global version.

◆ pw_global_get_properties()

const struct pw_properties* pw_global_get_properties ( struct pw_global global)

Get the global properties.

◆ pw_global_update_keys()

int pw_global_update_keys ( struct pw_global global,
const struct spa_dict dict,
const char *const  keys[] 
)

Update the global properties, must be done when unregistered.

◆ pw_global_get_object()

void* pw_global_get_object ( struct pw_global global)

Get the object associated with the global.

This depends on the type of the global

◆ pw_global_get_id()

uint32_t pw_global_get_id ( struct pw_global global)

Get the unique id of the global.

◆ pw_global_get_serial()

uint64_t pw_global_get_serial ( struct pw_global global)

int pw_global_add_resource ( struct pw_global global,
struct pw_resource resource 
)

Add a resource to a global.

◆ pw_global_for_each_resource()

int pw_global_for_each_resource ( struct pw_global global,
int(*)(void *data, struct pw_resource *resource)  callback,
void *  data 
)

Iterate all resources added to the global The callback should return 0 to fetch the next item, any other value stops the iteration and returns the value.

When all callbacks return 0, this function returns 0 when all items are iterated.

◆ pw_global_bind()
