osccount

Gives the Count of OSC messages currently unread but received by the current listeners.

📝 Note

Up to Csound 6, this opcode was called OSCcount.

Plugin opcode in osc.

Syntax

kans = osccount()

kans OSCcount

Performance

kans -- set to the number of messages accepted by this Csound process to any address but not yet presented to a call of osclisten.

The expected use of this opcode is when there are a number of listeners and we can decide checking them all if there are no messages.

Examples

This example shows a pair of floating point numbers being received on port 7770.

sr = 44100
ksmps = 100
nchnls = 2

handle@global:i = oscinit(7770)

instr 1
  f1:k = init(0)
  f2:k = init(0)
  kk = osccount()

  until (kk == 0) do
    kr = osclisten(handle, "/foo/bar", "ff", f1, f2)
    printk(0, f1)
    printk(0, f2)
    kk -= 1
  od
endin
