JACK_LOAD(1)

💖 JACK_LOAD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the jack_load page, from the General Commands Manual section of the manual. this is section 1, so you KNOW it's a command you just run. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

jack_load — it's a JACK toolkit client, and its whole job is loading in-process clients. that's it. that's the gig. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jack_load [ -i initstring ] [ -s servername ] [-w ] client-name so-name
[ initstring ]

like… look at her. so simple. so powerful. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so jack_load is a JACK toolkit client, right? and what it does is it takes the plugin you point it at, loads it, and creates an in-process client. literally that's the entire vibe. it's giving "loader, but make it a client." ✨

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• client-name — this one must be a client name that isn't being used by anybody else right now. currently unused, or it's not happening, no cap.
• so-name — the name of the file where the client code is stored. and typically? it's like clientname.so. that's the pattern, iykyk. 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -i, --init init-string — an initialization string that gets passed along to the in-process client. and psst — you can also just drop it as the last argument on the command line instead. two ways, same energy. 🌈
• -s, --server servername — the name of the JACK server you want to connect to. tell her where to go. 💖
• -w, --wait — this one makes it wait for a signal (like from Ctrl-c, classic) and then unload the client. patient queen behavior. ⭐

ngl, -w is the one you want if you're the type to sit there and hit Ctrl-c when you're done. no judgement, we've all been there. 😭
