## OSCcount

OSCcount — Gives the Count of OSC messages currently unread.

## Description

Plugin opcode in osc.

Gives the Count of OSC messages currently unread but received by the current listeners.

## Syntax

    kans OSCcount

## Performance

kans -- set to the number of messages accepted by this Csound process to any address but not yet presented to a call of OSClisten.

The expected use of this opcode is when there are a number of listeners and we can decide checking them all if there are no messages.

## Example

This example shows a pair of floating point numbers being received on port 7770.

      sr = 44100
      ksmps = 100
      nchnls = 2

      gihandle OSCinit 7770

      instr   1
        kf1 init 0
        kf2 init 0
        kk  OSCcount
    nxtmsg:

    if (kk == 0) goto ex
      kr  OSClisten gihandle, "/foo/bar", "ff", kf1, kf2
        printk 0,kf1
        printk 0,kf2
        kk -= 1
        kgoto nxtmsg
    ex:
      endin
