=head1 NAME
Protocol::OSC - Open Sound Control v1.1 implementation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $osc = Protocol::OSC->new;
my $data = $osc->message(qw(/echo isf 3 ping 3.14)); # pack
my $packet = $osc->parse($data); # parse
$osc->actions->{$path} = $code_ref; # add callback
$packet->process($data, $scheduler_coderef); # parse and execute callbacks
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements (de)coding and processing of OSC packets according the specification. It's pure Perl implementation, yet faster
than L<Net::LibLO> and L<Net::OpenSoundControl> (~2x). Also it provides connection agnostic interface and
path matching and type tagging according L<OSC v1 specification|http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0> ( and L<v1.1|http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_1> )
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=head2 new( ?actions => {}, ?scheduler => sub {...} )
Creates Protocol::Instance with optional L</actions> argument which is hashref of pairs: I<< path => coderef >> and optional default scheduler for L</process> method - see below.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 message($path, $typetag, ?@args)
Encodes message to packet. Typetag supports these OSC-types: I<ifstdbht>. Everything else (like I<TFNI>) will not affect packing of B<@args>.
Alias: B<msg>
=head2 bundle(undef || $unix_time, [@message_or_bundle], ...)
Encodes bundle to packet. Pack several OSC messages/bundles to a bundle.
=head2 parse($data)
Parses OSC packet data. Returns OSC message/bundle.
OSC-message is a blessed arrayref B<[$path, $type, @args]> with corresponding methods B<path>, B<type>, B<args>.
OSC-bundle is a blessed arrayref B<[$time, @packets]> with corresponding methods B<time>, B<packets>
=head2 process($data, ?$scheduler_cb)
Parses OSC packet/data and process messages in it. It will call matched actions through B<$scheduler_cb> which is
just C<< sub { $_[0]->(splice @_,1) } >> by default(or specified in constructor).
Arguments to scheduler are B<$action_coderef, $time, $action_path, $osc_msg, ?@osc_bundles>.
=head2 actions
Returns hashref of actions: B<< path => coderef >> pairs. One could modify this hashref or use methods below.
=head2 set_cb($path, $cb)
Set coderef B<$cb> to B<actions>
=head2 del_cb($path)
Remove coderef at B<$path> from B<actions> at B<$path>
=head2 match($osc_path_pattern)
Returns mathched actions in form of list of arrayrefs B<[$path, $coderef]>
=head2 time2tag($unix_time)
Converts (fractional) unix epoch time to NTP timestamp, which is list of B<($seconds_since_1900_01_01, $int32_fraction_parts_of_second)>.
If B<$unix_time> is undef then (0,1) is returned which means immediate execution by OSC specs.
=head2 tag2time($ntp_time, $fraction_of_sec)
Reverse of previous.
=head2 to_stream($data)
Packs raw OSC data for (tcp) streaming.
=head2 from_stream($buf)
Returns list of raw OSC data packets in B<$buf> from stream buffer and residue of B<$buf>.
If $buf is incomplete - returns only B<$buf>.
=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 Sending
make packet
my $data = $osc->message(my @specs = qw(/echo isf 3 ping 3.14));
# or
use Time::HiRes 'time';
my $data $osc->bundle(time, [@specs], [@specs2], ...);
via UDP
my $udp = IO::Socket::INET->new( PeerAddr => 'localhost', PeerPort => $port, Proto => 'udp', Type => SOCK_DGRAM) || die $!;
$udp->send($data);
via TCP
my $tcp = IO::Socket::INET->new( PeerAddr => 'localhost', PeerPort => $port, Proto => 'tcp', Type => SOCK_STREAM) || die $!;
$tcp->syswrite($osc->to_stream($data));
=head2 Receiving
UDP
my $in = IO::Socket::INET->new( qw(LocalAddr localhost LocalPort), $port, qw(Proto udp Type), SOCK_DGRAM ) || die $!;
$in->recv(my $packet, $in->sockopt(SO_RCVBUF));
my $p = $osc->parse($packet);
TCP
my $in = IO::Socket::INET->new( qw(LocalAddr localhost LocalPort), $port, qw(Proto tcp Type), SOCK_STREAM, qw(Listen 1 Reuse 1) ) || die $!;
while (my $sock = $in->accept) {
my $tail;
while ($sock->sysread(my $buf, $in->sockopt(SO_RCVBUF))) {
my @packets = $p->from_stream(length($tail) ? $tail.$buf : $buf);
$tail = pop @packets;
$osc->parse($_) for @packets;
}
}
=head2 Dispatching
$osc->set_cb('/echo', sub {
my ($at_time, $path, $msg, @maybe_bundles) = @_;
say $at_time if $at_time; # time of parent bundle if message comes from bundle(s)
say $path; # matched path
say $msg->path; # path pattern of OSC message
say $msg->type; # typetag
say @{$msg->args}; # message arguments
map { # all bundles from which $msg comes (from inner to outer)
say $_->time; # time of bundle
say $_->packets; # array of messages/bundle in bundle
} @maybe_bundles;
});
...
$osc->process($osc->parse($data));
=head2 Ping-Pong using AnyEvent::Handle::UDP
use AnyEvent::Handle::UDP;
my $udp_handle = AnyEvent::Handle::UDP->new(
bind => [0, $port],
on_recv => sub {
my ($data, $handle, $client_addr) = @_;
my $msg = $osc->parse($data);
say $msg->path;
$handle->push_send($osc->message(qw(/pong i), ($msg->args)[0]), $client_addr) if $msg->path eq '/ping';
}
);
$udp_handle->push_send($osc->message(qw(/ping i 3)), [0, $port]);
