snd_pcm_plugin_status()

Get the runtime status of a PCM channel (plugin aware)

Synopsis:

#include <sys/asoundlib.h>

int snd_pcm_plugin_status( 
       snd_pcm_t *handle, 
       snd_pcm_channel_status_t *status );

Arguments:

handle: The handle for the PCM device, which you must have opened by calling snd_pcm_open() or snd_pcm_open_preferred().
status: A pointer to a snd_pcm_channel_status_t structure that snd_pcm_plugin_status() fills with information about the PCM channel's status.
Fill in the status structure's channel member to specify the direction. All other members are read-only.

Description:

The snd_pcm_plugin_status() function fills the status structure with runtime status information about the PCM channel selected by handle.

Returns:

Zero on success, or a negative error code.

Errors:

-EBADFD: The pcm device state isn't ready.
-EFAULT: Failed to copy data.
-EINVAL: Invalid handle or the data pointer is NULL.

Examples:

See the wave.c example in the appendix.

Classification:

QNX Neutrino

Safety:
Cancellation point	No
Interrupt handler	No
Signal handler	Yes

This function is the plugin-aware version of snd_pcm_channel_status(). It functions exactly the same way. However, 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.
