Detailed Description
Function Documentation
void LIBMTP_destroy_track_t (LIBMTP_track_t * track)
This destroys a track metadata structure and deallocates the memory used by it, including
any strings. Never use a track metadata structure again after calling this function on it.
Parameters
track the track metadata to destroy.

int LIBMTP_Get_Track_To_File (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, uint32_t const id, char const
*const path, LIBMTP_progressfunc_t const callback, void const *const data)
This gets a track off the device to a file identified by a filename. This is actually just
a wrapper for the LIBMTP_Get_Track_To_File() function.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to get the track from.
id the track ID of the track to retrieve.
path a filename to use for the retrieved track.
callback a progress indicator function or NULL to ignore.
data a user-defined pointer that is passed along to the progress function in order to
pass along some user defined data to the progress updates. If not used, set this to
NULL.
Returns
0 if the transfer was successful, any other value means failure.

int LIBMTP_Get_Track_To_File_Descriptor (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, uint32_t const id, int
const fd, LIBMTP_progressfunc_t const callback, void const *const data)
This gets a track off the device to a file identified by a file descriptor. This is
actually just a wrapper for the LIBMTP_Get_File_To_File_Descriptor() function.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to get the track from.
id the track ID of the track to retrieve.
fd a file descriptor to write the track to.
callback a progress indicator function or NULL to ignore.
data a user-defined pointer that is passed along to the progress function in order to
pass along some user defined data to the progress updates. If not used, set this to
NULL.

*const data)
This gets a track off the device to a handler function. This is actually just a wrapper
for the LIBMTP_Get_File_To_Handler() function.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to get the track from.
id the track ID of the track to retrieve.
put_func the function to call when we have data.
priv the user-defined pointer that is passed to put_func.
callback a progress indicator function or NULL to ignore.

LIBMTP_track_t* LIBMTP_Get_Tracklisting_With_Callback (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device,
LIBMTP_progressfunc_t const callback, void const *const data)
This returns a long list of all tracks available on the current MTP device. Tracks include
multimedia objects, both music tracks and video tracks. Typical usage:
LIBMTP_track_t *tracklist;
tracklist = LIBMTP_Get_Tracklisting_With_Callback(device, callback, data);
while (tracklist != NULL) {
LIBMTP_track_t *tmp;
// Do something on each element in the list here...
tmp = tracklist;
tracklist = tracklist->next;
LIBMTP_destroy_track_t(tmp);
}
If you want to group your track listing by storage (per storage unit) or arrange tracks
into folders, you must dereference the storage_id and/or parent_id field of the returned
LIBMTP_track_t struct. To arrange by folders or files you typically have to create the
proper trees by calls to LIBMTP_Get_Storage() and/or LIBMTP_Get_Folder_List() first.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to get the track listing for.
callback a function to be called during the tracklisting retrieveal for displaying
progress bars etc, or NULL if you don't want any callbacks.
data a user-defined pointer that is passed along to the progress function in order to
pass along some user defined data to the progress updates. If not used, set this to
NULL.
Returns
a list of tracks that can be followed using the next field of the LIBMTP_track_t data
structure. Each of the metadata tags must be freed after use, and may contain only
partial metadata information, i.e. one or several fields may be NULL or 0.

data)
This returns a long list of all tracks available on the current MTP device. Tracks include
multimedia objects, both music tracks and video tracks. Typical usage:
LIBMTP_track_t *tracklist;
tracklist = LIBMTP_Get_Tracklisting_With_Callback_For_Storage(device, storage_id, callback, data);

progress bars etc, or NULL if you don't want any callbacks.

LIBMTP_track_t* LIBMTP_Get_Trackmetadata (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, uint32_t const trackid)
This function retrieves the metadata for a single track off the device.
Do not call this function repeatedly! The track handles are linearly searched O(n) and the
call may involve (slow) USB traffic, so use LIBMTP_Get_Tracklisting() and cache the
tracks, preferably as an efficient data structure such as a hash list.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to get the track metadata from.
trackid the object ID of the track that you want the metadata for.
Returns
a track metadata entry on success or NULL on failure.

LIBMTP_track_t* LIBMTP_new_track_t (void)
This creates a new track metadata structure and allocates memory for it. Notice that if
you add strings to this structure they will be freed by the corresponding
LIBMTP_destroy_track_t operation later, so be careful of using strdup() when assigning
strings, e.g.:
LIBMTP_track_t *track = LIBMTP_new_track_t();
track->title = strdup(titlestr);
....
LIBMTP_destroy_track_t(track);
Returns
a pointer to the newly allocated metadata structure.

int LIBMTP_Send_Track_From_File (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, char const *const path,
LIBMTP_track_t *const metadata, LIBMTP_progressfunc_t const callback, void const *const
data)
This function sends a track from a local file to an MTP device. A filename and a set of
metadata must be given as input.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to send the track to.
path the filename of a local file which will be sent.
metadata a track metadata set to be written along with the file. After this call the
field metadata->item_id will contain the new track ID. Other fields such as the
metadata->filename, metadata->parent_id or metadata->storage_id may also change during
this operation due to device restrictions, so do not rely on the contents of this
struct to be preserved in any way.
• metadata->parent_id should be set to the parent (e.g. folder) to store this track
in. Since some devices are a bit picky about where files are placed, a default
folder will be chosen if libmtp has detected one for the current filetype and this
parameter is set to 0. If this is 0 and no default folder can be found, the file
will be stored in the root folder.
• metadata->storage_id should be set to the desired storage (e.g. memory card or
whatever your device presents) to store this track in. Setting this to 0 will store
the track on the primary storage.
callback a progress indicator function or NULL to ignore.
data a user-defined pointer that is passed along to the progress function in order to
pass along some user defined data to the progress updates. If not used, set this to
NULL.
Returns
0 if the transfer was successful, any other value means failure.

int LIBMTP_Set_Track_Name (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, LIBMTP_track_t * track, const char *
newname)
This function renames a single track. This simply means that the PTP_OPC_ObjectFileName
property is updated, if this is supported by the device.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device that contains the file.
track the track metadata of the track to rename. On success, the filename member is
updated. Be aware, that this name can be different than newname depending of device
restrictions.
newname the new filename for this object.
Returns
0 on success, any other value means failure.

int LIBMTP_Update_Track_Metadata (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, LIBMTP_track_t const *const
metadata)
This function updates the MTP track object metadata on a single file identified by an
object ID.
Parameters
device a pointer to the device to update the track metadata on.
metadata a track metadata set to be written to the file. notice that the track_id
field of the metadata structure must be correct so that the function can update the
right file. If some properties of this metadata are set to NULL (strings) or 0
(numerical values) they will be discarded and the track will not be tagged with these
blank values.
Returns
0 on success, any other value means failure. If some or all of the properties fail to
update we will still return success. On some devices (notably iRiver T30) properties
that exist cannot be updated.
