muroar_noop(3)

πŸ“¦ version 0.1.13, in ubuntu jammy

✨ muroar_noop β€” the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, we're talking about muroar_noop from the muRoar Programmer's Manual β€” yes, that muRoar, the one that lets you talk to the RoarAudio sound daemon πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

muroar_noop β€” send a no-operation command to the RoarAudio sound daemon. literally the "hey bestie u still there?" of syscalls 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <muroar.h>

int muroar_noop   (muroar_t fh);

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So this function does the absolute most by doing the absolute least: it fires a no-operation command over to the sound daemon that fh is connected to. iconic behaviour honestly.

Now, plot twist β€” fh isn't just any random handle. it has to be connected via muroar_connect(3) to a sound server that actually speaks the RoarAudio protocol and supports the NOOP command. no connection, no vibe check, no service ✨

What's it even for? think of it as a "ping" for the server πŸ“. it's giving keep-alive, and it's especially handy on long-running connections where literally no data is flowing and you just want to remind everyone you're still here. main character energy: present, silent, unbothered.


πŸ¦‹ RETURN VALUE πŸ¦‹

  • On success, this call returns 0 πŸ₯³
  • On error, -1 is returned πŸ’€

that's it. no notes. periodt.


πŸ‘‘ HISTORY πŸ‘‘

This function first appeared in muRoar version 0.1.2. a true OG, we stan an early-era icon 🌈
