The API comes in two flavours to accommodate different styles + * of applications and different needs in complexity: + * + * \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API + * \li The simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API + * + * All strings in PulseAudio are in the UTF-8 encoding, regardless of current + * locale. Some functions will filter invalid sequences from the string, some + * will simply fail. To ensure reliable behaviour, make sure everything you + * pass to the API is already in UTF-8. + + * \section simple_sec Simple API + * + * Use this if you develop your program in synchronous style and just + * need a way to play or record data on the sound server. See + * \subpage simple for more details. + * + * \section async_sec Asynchronous API + * + * Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, event loop + * based style or if you want to use the advanced features of the + * PulseAudio API. A guide can be found in \subpage async. + * + * By using the built-in threaded main loop, it is possible to achieve a + * pseudo-synchronous API, which can be useful in synchronous applications + * where the simple API is insufficient. See the \ref async page for + * details. + * + * \section thread_sec Threads + * + * The PulseAudio client libraries are not designed to be directly + * thread-safe. They are however designed to be reentrant and + * threads-aware. + * + * To use the libraries in a threaded environment, you must assure that + * all objects are only used in one thread at a time. Normally, this means + * that all objects belonging to a single context must be accessed from the + * same thread. + * + * The included main loop implementation is also not thread safe. Take care + * to make sure event objects are not manipulated when any other code is + * using the main loop. + * + * \section error_sec Error Handling + * + * Every function should explicitly document how errors are reported to + * the caller. Unfortunately, currently a lot of that documentation is + * missing. Here is an overview of the general conventions used. + * + * The PulseAudio API indicates error conditions by returning a negative + * integer value or a NULL pointer. On success, zero or a positive integer + * value or a valid pointer is returned. + * + * Functions of the \ref simple API generally return -1 or NULL on failure and + * can optionally store an error code (see ::pa_error_code) using a pointer + * argument. + * + * Functions of the \ref async API return an negative error code or NULL on + * failure (see ::pa_error_code). In the later case, pa_context_errno() + * can be used to obtain the error code of the last failed operation. + * + * An error code can be turned into a human readable message using + * pa_strerror(). + * + * \section logging_sec Logging + * + * You can configure different logging parameters for the PulseAudio client + * libraries. The following environment variables are recognized: + * + * - `PULSE_LOG`: Maximum log level required. Bigger values result in a + * more verbose logging output. The following values are recognized: + * + `0`: Error messages + * + `1`: Warning messages + * + `2`: Notice messages + * + `3`: Info messages + * + `4`: Debug messages + * - `PULSE_LOG_SYSLOG`: If defined, force all client libraries to log + * their output using the syslog(3) mechanism. Default behavior is to + * log all output to stderr. + * - `PULSE_LOG_JOURNAL`: If defined, force all client libraries to log + * their output using the systemd journal. If both `PULSE_LOG_JOURNAL` + * and `PULSE_LOG_SYSLOG` are defined, logging to the systemd journal + * takes a higher precedence. Each message originating library file name + * and function are included by default through the journal fields + * `CODE_FILE`, `CODE_FUNC`, and `CODE_LINE`. Any backtrace attached to + * the logging message is sent through the PulseAudio-specific journal + * field `PULSE_BACKTRACE`. This environment variable has no effect if + * PulseAudio was compiled without systemd journal support. + * - `PULSE_LOG_COLORS`: If defined, enables colored logging output. + * - `PULSE_LOG_TIME`: If defined, include timestamps with each message. + * - `PULSE_LOG_FILE`: If defined, include each message originating file + * name. + * - `PULSE_LOG_META`: If defined, include each message originating file + * name and path relative to the PulseAudio source tree root. + * - `PULSE_LOG_LEVEL`: If defined, include a log level prefix with each + * message. Respectively, the prefixes "E", "W", "N", "I", "D" stands + * for Error, Warning, Notice, Info, and Debugging. + * - `PULSE_LOG_BACKTRACE`: Number of functions to display in the backtrace. + * If this variable is not defined, or has a value of zero, no backtrace + * is shown. + * - `PULSE_LOG_BACKTRACE_SKIP`: Number of backtrace levels to skip, from + * the function printing the log message downwards. + * - `PULSE_LOG_NO_RATE_LIMIT`: If defined, do not rate limit the logging + * output. Rate limiting skips certain log messages when their frequency + * is considered too high. + * + * \section pkgconfig pkg-config + * + * The PulseAudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different + * modules: + * + * \li libpulse - The asynchronous API and the internal main loop implementation. + * \li libpulse-mainloop-glib - GLIB 2.x main loop bindings. + * \li libpulse-simple - The simple PulseAudio API. + */ + +#endif |
