muroar_noop(3)
β¨ muroar_noop β the manual page, but make it cute β¨
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 π
πΈ NAME πΈ
muroar_noop β send a no-operation command to the RoarAudio sound daemon. literally the "hey bestie u still there?" of syscalls π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
#include <muroar.h>
int muroar_noop (muroar_t fh);
π DESCRIPTION π
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 β¨
What's it even for? think of it as a "ping" for the server π. 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.
π¦ RETURN VALUE π¦
- On success, this call returns
0π₯³ - On error,
-1is returned π
that's it. no notes. periodt.
π HISTORY π
This function first appeared in muRoar version 0.1.2. a true OG, we stan an early-era icon π
