Shell (command line) settings

shell.port

Property Value
Type Integer (int)
Default 0
Min 0
Max 65535

The shell can be used in a client/server mode. This setting controls what TCP/IP port the server uses. Since fluidsynth 2.5.4, a value of 0 enables auto mode and selects the first free port, probing from 9800 upwards. Older versions used 9800 as default port.

Note

When set to 0, fluidsynth will update the setting during server creation (new_fluid_server2()) with the actual port number used.

shell.prompt

Property Value
Type String (str)
Default (empty string)

In dump mode we set the prompt to "" (empty string). The ui cannot easily handle lines, which don't end with cr. Changing the prompt cannot be done through a command, because the current shell does not handle empty arguments.
