#include <midi/camd.h>

int main(){

        APTR lock;
        struct MidiCluster *cluster;

        struct Library *CamdBase=OpenLibrary("camd.library",0L);

                return 1;
        }

        return 0;
}

Notes

- CL_Linkages must be locked.

- Often, a program wants to use this function for finding available
  clusters a user can choose from. It is then recommended to also
  let the user have the possibility to write in the name of a new cluster,
  so that camd can make new clusters automatically to be used for
  communication between various applications without having hardware-drivers
  etc. interfere with the datastreams. Applications do
  not need to make special concerns about how cluster works or
  what they contain; that is all managed by camd.

NextClusterLink()

Synopsis

struct MidiLink * NextClusterLink(
         struct MidiCluster * cluster,
         struct MidiLink * midilink,
         LONG type );

Function

Finds the next midilink of a specified type in a midicluster.

Inputs

cluster - Pointer to the midicluster that the midilink belongs to.
midilink - Pointer to the midilink to begin searching from.
type - Either MLTYPE_Receiver or MLTYPE_Sender

Result

Returns the next MidiLink of a spevified type, or NULL if the last
in the list. If midilink is NULL, returns the first.

Notes

CL_Linkages must be locked.

NextMidi()

Synopsis

struct MidiNode * NextMidi(
         struct MidiNode * midinode );

Function

Returns the next midinode in the list of midinodes, or NULL
if midinode was the last one.

Inputs

midinode - The midinode to begin searching from. If NULL,
           returns the first midinode in the list.

Notes

CL_Linkages must be locked.

NextMidiLink()

Synopsis

struct MidiLink * NextMidiLink(
         struct MidiNode * midinode,
         struct MidiLink * midilink,
         LONG type );

Function

Returns the next MidiLink of a specified type that belongs
to a midinode. Or NULL if midilink was the last. If midilink
is NULL, returns the first one.

Inputs

type - MLTYPE_Sender or MLTYPE_Receiver.

Notes

CL_Linkages must be locked.

OpenMidiDevice()

Synopsis

struct MidiDeviceData * OpenMidiDevice(
         UBYTE * name );

Function

Remind me to fill in things here later.

ParseMidi()

Synopsis

void ParseMidi(
         struct MidiLink * midilink,
         UBYTE * buffer,
         ULONG length );

Function

    Puts a midibuffer to a midilinks clusters midilinks midinodes and hardware.
    To help understand what it does, the following macro makes PutMidi
    use ParseMidi instead of calling camd.library's PutMidi function for
    small-endian cpus:

    #define PutMidi(midilink,message) ParseMidi((midilink),&(message),MidiMsgLen(message))

    (But please don't use this macro, since its not big-endian compatible,
and that PutMidi is faster than ParseMidi)

Notes

If its more convenient to use PutMidi and PutSysEx instead of ParseMidi,
do that. ParseMidi is a bit heavier function to use than PutMidi and
PutSysEx.

MLINK_Parse must have be set when calling either AddMidiLinkA or
SetMidiLinkAttrsA.

PutMidi()

Synopsis

void PutMidi(
         struct MidiLink * link,
         ULONG msg );

Function

Puts a midimessage to hardware and all sender-links that belongs
to the midilink's cluster. Does only wait if a hardware send-
buffer is full, and then tries again and again until the message
is sent. Else, the function should return immediately.

Inputs

link - pointer to the midilink to send to.
msg  - The complete message to send. A message can not hold more
       than 3 bytes, so it fits fine in a ULONG integer. See NOTES
       to see how a message is built up.

Notes

Sending an illegal message may have serious consequences. If you for
some reason are not completely sure whether your message is legal,
you could do the following test:

if((msg>>24)<0x80 || (msg>>24)==0xf0 || (msg>>24)==0xf7 || (msg>>16&0xff)>0x7f || (msg>>8&0xff)>0x7f){
        debug("Warning, illegal midimessage: %x\n",msg);
}else{
        PutMidi(midilink,msg);
}

PutMidiMsg()

Synopsis

PutMidiMsg(
   link,
   msg);

Function

Calls PutMidi((midilink),(msg)->mm_Msg)

Notes

Implemented as macro.

PutSysEx()

Synopsis

void PutSysEx(
         struct MidiLink * midilink,
         UBYTE * buffer );

Function

Distributes a SysEx message. First sends the message to the hardware
and all midinodes connected to the midilinks cluster, then waits
for the complete message to be sent to the hardware, if any. If
a midinodes sysex-buffer is to small to carry the message, it will
not be sent. If the buffer is big enough, but there is not enough
room, a sysex-full-error will be set to the node. The message is
sent to hardware regardless of transmit buffer size.

Inputs

midilink - pointer to link.
buffer - message to send, must start with 0xf0 and end with 0xf7.
         No bytes higher than 0x7f are allowed in the message.

QuerySysEx()

Synopsis

ULONG QuerySysEx(
         struct MidiNode * midinode );

Function

Returns the number of bytes remaining in the current sys/ex message.

Inputs

midinode - pointer to MidiNode

Result

Remaining bytes in sys/ex message.      0 is returned if the last
message read from GetMidi() wasn't a sys/ex message.

Bugs

Tested.

RemoveMidiLink()

Synopsis

void RemoveMidiLink(
         struct MidiLink * midilink );

Function

Removes and frees a midilink from the system.

Inputs

Bugs

Not implemented.

SetMidiAttrsA()

Synopsis

BOOL SetMidiAttrsA(
         struct MidiNode * midinode,
         struct TagItem * tags );

                                   default is the task of the caller of this function. (FindTask(NULL))

MIDI_RecvHook (struct Hook *)   -- Function to call whenever a midimessage is arriving to the node.
                                   You should get the midimessage as the first argument in the function,
                                   however, that has not yet been implemented. Default is NULL.

MIDI_PartHook (struct Hook *)   -- Don't really know what this one is for. Have to check amigos-autodocs.
                                   It does not currently do anything.

MIDI_RecvSignal (BYTE)          -- Signal bit to use when signalling a task whenever a midimessage is
                                   arriving at the node, or -1 to disable signalling. Default is -1.

MIDI_PartSignal (BYTE)          -- Signal bit to use when signalling a task when..... Default is -1.

MIDI_MsgQueue (ULONG)           -- Number of messages the messagequeue is able to hold.

MIDI_TimeStamp (ULONG *)        -- Pointer to an ULONG value which value is copied directly into the timestamp
                                   attribute in midimessages whenever a new message is received at the node.


 MIDI_ErrFilter (UBYTE)         -- Filters out the errors you don't want to see.


 MIDI_ClientType (UWORD)        -- What sort of application you that owns this node.

 MIDI_Image (struct Image *)    -- Pointer to an image representing this node.

 MIDI_ErrorCode (ULONG *)       -- Pointer to an ULONG which will be set if something went wrong.

Result

TRUE if everything went okey, FALSE if not. Errorcode
is put in an ULONG pointed to by the MIDI_ErrorCode tag,
if supplied.

Notes

- If the midinode is not owned by yourself, please lock
  camd to ensure it wont go away.

- Allthough you are able to modify midinodes owned by
  others, please avoid it, its normally "non of your buziness",
  and may lead to crashes and other "unexpected" behaviors.
  However, if you have full control of the owner of the
  midinode (f.ex when both you and the owner belongs to the
  same probram and you are absolutely shure you know what
  you are doing), there is no problem.

SetMidiLinkAttrsA()

Synopsis

BOOL SetMidiLinkAttrsA(
         struct MidiLink * midilink,
         struct TagItem * tags );

BOOL SetMidiLinkAttrs(
         struct MidiLink * midilink,
         TAG tag, ... );

Function

Remind me to fill in things here later.

Notes

- If the midilink is not owned by yourself, please lock
  camd to ensure it wont go away.

- Allthough you are able to modify midilinks owned by
  others, please avoid it, its normally "non of your buziness",
  and may lead to crashes and other "unexpected" behaviours.
  However, if you have full control of the owner of the
  midilink (f.ex when both you and the owner belongs to the
  same probram and you are absolutely shure you know what
  you are doing), there is no problem.

- Warning! If another task have locked Camd and is waiting
  for you to finish, there will be a deadlock if you try
  to change priority or change/set cluster.

SkipSysEx()

Synopsis

void SkipSysEx(
         struct MidiNode * midinode );

Function

Remind me to fill in things here later.

            somewhere down the line...

Wait(1L<<cnn.cnn_SigBit)
    printf("Cluster Changes have happened\n");

Notes

ClusterNotifyNode structure must remain valid until EndClusterNotify();
