<p>OSCsend —
Sends data to other processes using the OSC protocol
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a id="idm281472908385032"></a>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Uses the OSC protocol to send message to other OSC listening processes.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a id="idm281472908383848"></a>
<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis"><span class="command"><strong>OSCsend</strong></span> kwhen, ihost, iport, idestination[, itype , xdata1, xdata2, ...]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a id="idm281472908312120"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ihost</em></span>
-- a string that is the intended host computer domain name. An
empty string is interpreted as the current computer.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iport</em></span>
-- the number of the port that is used for the communication.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>idestination</em></span>
-- a string that is the destination address. This takes the
form of a file name with directories. Csound just passes this
string to the raw sending code and makes no interpretation.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>itype</em></span>
-- a string that indicates the types of the optional arguments
that are read at k-rate. The string can contain the characters
"abcdfilmstAG" which stand for audio, Boolean, character, double, float,
32-bit integer, 64-bit integer, MIDI, string, timestamp, k-rate
array and ftable. The OSC message may not have any types,
in which case, it will consist only of the destination address.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a id="idm281472908307208"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kwhen</em></span> -- a message is sent whenever this
value changes. A message will always be sent on the first call.
</p>
<p>
The data is taken from the k-values or a-value that follow the format
string. In a similar way to a printf format, the characters in
order determine how the argument is interpreted. Note that a time
stamp takes two arguments.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a id="idm281472908304824"></a>
<h2>Example</h2>
<p>
The example shows a simple instrument, which when called, sends a group of 3 messages to a computer called "xenakis", on port 7770, to be read by a process that recognises /foo/bar as its address.
</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="programlisting">
<span class="oblock">instr</span> 1
<span class="opc">OSCsend</span> 1, "xenakis.cs.bath.ac.uk",7770, "/foo/bar", "sis", "FOO", 42, "bar"
<span class="oblock">endin</span></pre>
