Command Interface

Control and configuration interface.

The command interface allows you to send textual commands to the synthesizer, to parse a command file, or to read commands from the stdin or other input streams (like a TCP socket).

For a full list of available commands, type help in the Command Shell or send the same command via a command handler. Further documentation can be found at https://www.fluidsynth.org/wiki/UserManual#shell-commands

Get the user specific FluidSynth command file name.

Parameters:
