SYNTAX
#include <AF/AFlib.h>

void AFFlush(AFAudioConn *aud)

void AFSync(AFAudioConn *aud, ABool discard)

int AFEventsQueued (AFAudioConn *aud, int mode)

int AFPending (AFAudioConn *aud)

ARGUMENTS

discard
    Specifies a boolean value that indicates whether discards all events on the event queue.

aud Specifies the connection to the AF server.

mode
    Specifies the mode. You can pass or

DESCRIPTION
The function flushes the output buffer. Most client applications need not use this function because the output buffer is automatically flushed as needed by calls to and Events generated by the server may be enqueued into the library's event queue.

The function flushes the output buffer and then waits until all requests have been received and processed by the AF server. Any errors generated must be handled by the error handler. For each error event received by AFlib, calls the client application's error handling routine. Any events generated by the server are enqueued into the library's event queue.

If discard is passed does not discard the events in the queue. If you passed discards all events in the queue, including those events that were on the queue before was called. Client applications seldom need to call

If mode is returns the number of events already in the event queue (and never performs a system call). If mode is returns the number of events already in the queue if the number is nonzero. If there are no events in the queue, flushes the output buffer, attempts to read more events out of the application's connection, and returns the number read. If mode is returns the number of events already in the queue if the number is nonzero. If there are no events in the queue, attempts to read more events out of the application's connection without flushing the output buffer and returns the number read.

always returns immediately without I/O if there are events already in the queue. with mode is identical in behavior to with mode is identical to the function.

The function returns the number of events that have been received from the AF server but have not been removed from the event queue. is identical to with the mode specified.
