NAME¶
jack-plumbing - JACK Plumbing DaemonSYNOPSIS¶
jack-plumbing [options] [rule-files]OPTIONS¶
-d : Do not operate as a daemon. -o : Do not load ordinary rule files. -q : Quiet operation. -u : Set the time, in micro-seconds, that must elapse after a connection notification to indicate the end of a notification set (default=30000). This is an optimization switch.DESCRIPTION¶
jack-plumbing maintains a set of port connection rules and manages these as clients register ports with JACK- Port names are implicitly bounded regular expressions and support sub-expression patterns. There are four rules: connect, disconnect, also-connect and connect-exclusive.(connect "SuperCollider:out_(.*)" "system:playback_\1")
(also-connect "system:playback_1" "jack-udp-[0-9]*:in_1")
(connect-exclusive "SuperCollider:out_(.*)" "ardour:sc3_in_\1/in 1")
•it does not require any client connection support
or logic at all
•it provides a uniform user interface to all
clients
•it has a somewhat declarative style
This type of daemon is very lightweight and non-intrusive: it requires no
arguments, it runs from an unprivileged thread, if the rule set is empty it is
a no-op, it does not write any files, it does not require any modification to
clients or to how clients are started.
When a set of port registrations is made it checks the modification time of the
rule set files, /etc/jack-plumbing and ~/.jack-plumbing, and any
files specified by the user, rereads the rule set if it has been updated, then
makes the JACK graph obey the rules.
Any lines beginning with a semi-colon are ignored.
The rule set is sorted, disconnect rules are applied first, then connect rules,
then connect-exclusive rules.
