AuEvent(3)

💖 Name 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because this is AuEvent from the Library Functions Manual — the event union, and it's literally the whole group chat between your app and the audio server 💅

🦋 Structures 🦋

first things first, you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

and here's the union itself, character for character, don't you dare touch it:

typedef union _AuEvent
{
    int type;
    AuAnyEvent auany;
    AuElementNotifyEvent auelementnotify;
    AuMonitorNotifyEvent aumonitornotify;
    AuGrabNotifyEvent augrabnotify;
    AuErrorEvent auerror;
}AuEvent;

✨ Members ✨

• type — this one tells you what kind of event you're holding. rn the event types that are defined are: AuEventTypeElementNotify, AuEventTypeGrabNotify, or AuEventTypeMonitorNotify. it's giving "which one of my friends is texting me" energy 👑
• auany — the generic event structure, aka the lowkey shared blueprint with all the members that every single event type has in common. the main character that shows up in every storyline 🫶
• auelementnotify — this one gets sent to client applications to let them know about a watermark condition OR a state change. she's a notifier, she's a messenger, she's iconic 💌
• aumonitornotify — sent to client applications to notify them of monitor data. data delivery service, no cap 📊
• augrabnotify — Not Implemented. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's not coming to the party 😭💀
• auerror — sent to client applications to notify them of non-fatal errors encountered while processing requests. she's not fatal, she's just dramatic 🙈

🌸 Description 🌸

so like, events are the principal mechanism for the server to communicate with a client application. that's the whole thing. that's the relationship. the server talks, the client listens, and events are the DMs. periodt 💖
