NAME
libroar - RoarAudio sound library
SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h>
DESCRIPTION
libroar is a central library used to comunicate with RoarAudio servers.
It supports all commands from simple commands to play some audio up to
complex commands to controll the server and do nice things over the
network. It also includes several useful functions from buffer
mangement to IO abstraction.
EXAMPLES
The basic tools shiped with RoarAudio are designed to also work as
examples for the lib. You may start by looking at roarcat(1)s source
code as an example on how to simply play back some audio. A more
complex example is roarvorbis(1) which also includes meta data updates.
You should also have a look at VS API, see roarvs(7) for a overview.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials can be found in roartut(7).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following variables are used in libroar itself so they are common
to all clients using libroar.
HOME The users home directory.
ROAR_SERVER
The address of the listening server. This may be in form of
host:port for TCP/IP connections and /path/to/sock for UNIX
Domain Sockets. If a value of '+fork' is given a roard is forked
and used. This roard will not listen on any sockets so it is
used exclusiv by this client. See roard(1) for more information.
ROAR_PROXY
Set the type of the proxy being used to connect to the server.
Valid values are 'socks4', 'socks4a', 'socks4d', 'http' and
'ssh' for the moment. You can add type depending options in
form 'type/opts'.
socks_proxy
The SOCKS4/4a/4d/5 proxy to use in form [user@]host[:port].
Default port is 9050.
http_proxy, https_proxy
The HTTP/HTTPS Proxy server. This server needs to understand the
CONNECT request type. Give the server name in this format:
[http://]host[:port][/] The default port is 8080.
ssh_proxy
The remote host to use as SSH Proxy server. Give the server
name in this format: [user@]host[:port] The default port is 22.
Note that you may need to use publickey based auth or ssh-agent
because the application may start SSH in a non interactive
environment and SSH can not ask you for a password.
FILES
/etc/roarserver
This is a symlink to the server socket. If all types of server
addresses are supported. Example:
ln -s /tmp/roar /etc/roarserver
ln -s somehost /etc/roarserver
ln -s mynode:: /etc/roarserver
