  the type of this entity.

mpd_pure const struct mpd_directory* mpd_entity_get_directory | ( | const struct mpd_entity * | entity | ) |

Obtains a pointer to the mpd_directory object enclosed by this mpd_entity. Calling this function is only allowed of mpd_entity_get_type() has returned MPD_ENTITY_TYPE_DIRECTORY.

Returns
  the directory object

mpd_pure const struct mpd_song* mpd_entity_get_song | ( | const struct mpd_entity * | entity | ) |

Obtains a pointer to the mpd_song object enclosed by this mpd_entity. Calling this function is only allowed of mpd_entity_get_type() has returned MPD_ENTITY_TYPE_SONG.

Parameters

  pair | the first pair in this entity

Returns
  the new mpd_entity object, or NULL on error (out of memory)

bool mpd_entity_feed | ( | struct mpd_entity * | entity,
|  | const struct mpd_pair * | pair
| ) |  |

Parses the pair, adding its information to the specified mpd_entity object.

Returns
  true if the pair was parsed and added to the entity (or if the pair was not understood and ignored), false if this pair is the beginning of the next entity
