Detailed Description

MPD client library.

Search songs in the database or the queue.

Do not include this header directly. Use mpd/client.h instead.

Definition in file search.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ mpd_operator

enum mpd_operator

This type is not yet used, it is reserved for a future protocol extension which will allow us to specify a comparison operator for constraints.

Enumerator
MPD_OPERATOR_DEFAULT	The default search operator. If "exact" was passed as "true", then it means "full string comparison"; if false, then it means "search for substring".

Definition at line 57 of file search.h.
