## Enumeration Type Documentation

enum mpd_parser_result

Enumerator
MPD_PARSER_MALFORMED | Response line was not understood.
MPD_PARSER_SUCCESS | MPD has returned "OK" or "list_OK" (check with mpd_parser_is_discrete()).
MPD_PARSER_ERROR | MPD has returned "ACK" with an error code. Call mpd_parser_get_server_error() to get the error code.
MPD_PARSER_PAIR | MPD has returned a name-value pair. Call mpd_parser_get_name() and mpd_parser_get_value().

## Function Documentation

mpd_malloc struct mpd_parser* mpd_parser_new | ( | void |  | ) |

Allocates a new mpd_parser object. Returns NULL on error (out of memory).

void mpd_parser_free | ( | struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

Frees a mpd_parser object.

enum mpd_parser_result mpd_parser_feed | ( | struct mpd_parser * | parser,
|  | char * | line
| ) |  |

Feeds a line (without the trailing newline character) received from MPD / mpd_async_recv_line() into the parser.

Note that the line parameter is writable, because the parser will modify it. The functions mpd_parser_get_name() and mpd_parser_get_value() will return pointers inside this buffer. This means that after passing the line to this function, you must not modify or free it, until the name and value pointers are not used anymore.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object
  line | a line received from the MPD server

Returns
  a result code indicating the type of line, or error

mpd_pure bool mpd_parser_is_discrete | ( | const struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

Call this when mpd_parser_feed() has returned MPD_PARSER_SUCCESS to find out whether this is an "OK" (false) or a "list_OK" (true) response.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object

mpd_pure enum mpd_server_error mpd_parser_get_server_error | ( | const struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

Call this when mpd_parser_feed() has returned MPD_PARSER_ERROR to obtain the reason for the error.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object

mpd_pure unsigned mpd_parser_get_at | ( | const struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

On MPD_PARSER_ERROR, this returns the number of the list command which failed. Don't call this outside of a command list.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object

mpd_pure const char* mpd_parser_get_message | ( | const struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

On MPD_PARSER_ERROR, this returns the human readable error message returned by MPD (UTF-8).

This returns a pointer into the line buffer passed to mpd_parser_feed(). It is valid as long as the buffer is not freed/modified.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object

mpd_pure const char* mpd_parser_get_name | ( | const struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

On MPD_PARSER_PAIR, this returns the name.

This returns a pointer into the line buffer passed to mpd_parser_feed(). It is valid as long as the buffer is not freed/modified.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object

mpd_pure const char* mpd_parser_get_value | ( | const struct mpd_parser * | parser | ) |

On MPD_PARSER_PAIR, this returns the value.

This returns a pointer into the line buffer passed to mpd_parser_feed(). It is valid as long as the buffer is not freed/modified.

Parameters

  parser | the mpd_parser object
