snd_mixer_groups()

Get the number of groups in the mixer and their group IDs

#include <sys/asoundlib.h>

int snd_mixer_groups( snd_mixer_t *handle, 
                      snd_mixer_groups_t *groups );

Arguments:

handle

The handle for the mixer device. This must have been created by snd_mixer_open() .

groups

A pointer to a snd_mixer_groups_t structure that snd_mixer_groups() fills in with information about the groups.

Library:

libasound.so

Use the -l asound option to qcc to link against this library.

Description:

The snd_mixer_groups() function fills the given snd_mixer_groups_t structure with the number of groups in the mixer that the handle was opened on. It also fills in the array of group IDs pointed to by pgroups to a limit of groups_size.

Before calling snd_mixer_groups(), set the members of the snd_mixer_groups_t as follows:

pgroups

This pointer must be NULL or point to a valid storage location for the groups (i.e. an array of snd_mixer_gid_t structures).

groups_size

The size of the pgroups storage location in sizeof( snd_mixer_gid_t ) units (i.e. the number of entries in the array).

On a successful return, snd_mixer_groups() fills in these members:

groups

The total groups in the mixer.

groups_over

The number of groups that couldn't be copied to the storage location.

Returns:

Zero on success, or a negative value on error.

Errors:

-EINVAL

Invalid handle.
