snd_pcm_capture_flush()

Discard all pending data in a PCM capture channel's queue and stop the channel

Synopsis:

#include <sys/asoundlib.h>

int snd_pcm_capture_flush( snd_pcm_t *handle);

Arguments:

handle
The handle for the PCM device, which you must have opened by calling snd_pcm_open_name(), snd_pcm_open(), or snd_pcm_open_preferred().

Library:

libasound.so

Use the -l asound option with qcc to link against this library.

Description:

The snd_pcm_capture_flush() function throws away all unprocessed data in the driver queue.

If the operation is successful (zero is returned), the channel's state is changed to SND_PCM_STATUS_READY, and the channel is stopped.

Note: This function isn't plugin-aware. It functions exactly the same way as snd_pcm_channel_flush(.., SND_PCM_CHANNEL_CAPTURE). Make sure that you don't mix and match plugin- and nonplugin-aware functions in your application, or you may get undefined behavior and misleading results.

Returns:

EOK on success, a negative errno upon failure. The errno values are available in the errno.h file.

Errors:

-EBADFD
The pcm device state isn't ready.
-EINTR
The operation was interrupted because of a system signal (such as a timer) or an error was returned asynchronously.
-EINVAL
The state of handle is invalid or an invalid state change occurred. You can call snd_pcm_channel_status() to check if the state change was invalid.
-EIO
An invalid channel was specified, or the data wasn't all flushed.

Classification:

QNX Neutrino

Safety:  
Cancellation point No
Interrupt handler No
Signal handler Yes
Thread Read the Caveats

Caveats:

This function is not thread safe if handle (snd_pcm_t) is used across multiple threads.
