💅 resume_target(3) — Arcan Lua API

okay bestie so this one's from the Arcan Lua API and it's genuinely so useful, let me put you on ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

resume_target — the way you politely (or not-so-politely) ask a targetid to wake back up from a previously paused state 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nil
resume_target( targetvid, noblock_fsrv )

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first things first, there are two principal pause/resume mechanisms going on here, and they overlap slightly — iykyk, it's giving layered architecture 💅

Mechanism one: resume_movie — this one guarantees that the audio/video playback sampling will be paused in the main engine. And the implication of that is lowkey iconic: queued buffers stay intact. (Decode-sessions can maintain a preset number of cached audio/video frames, so yeah, they're just chilling there, preserved, no cap.) 🎀

Mechanism two: the related resume_target — this sends a request to the target frameserver or hijack sessions, and it blocks the process to whatever extent is possible. Like it will literally hold things up as much as it can 😭

But here's the ✨ twist ✨ — if noblock_fsrv is set to something other than 0, then only the hinting event is sent. Nothing else. Just the hint. That's the whole vibe. 🌸

bestie pls note: resume_movie and resume_target are related but not the same thing, and the manpage literally says they "overlap slightly" — so don't go merging them in your head, mwah 💋
