        self.system
            .as_ref()
            .expect("System interface should be initialized")
    }
```

--------------------------------

### Simple Property Setting and Getting

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/properties.rs.html

Demonstrates basic usage of the `Properties` struct, including creating a new instance, setting a key-value pair, retrieving a value, and asserting its type conversions (u32 and bool).

```rust
let mut props = Properties::new();

props.set("key1", format! {"{}", 1});

assert_eq!(props.get("key1"), Some("1"));

for (k, v) in props.iter() {
    assert_eq!(k, "key1");
    assert_eq!(v, "1");
}

assert_eq!(props.get_u32("key1"), Some(1u32));
assert_eq!(props.get_bool("key1"), Some(true));
```

--------------------------------

### ThreadLoop::run

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/pipewire_native/thread_loop/struct.ThreadLoop.html

Starts and runs the thread main loop.

```APIDOC
## ThreadLoop::run

### Description
Run the thread main loop.

### Signature
```rust
pub fn run(&self)
```
```

--------------------------------

### Create new Properties

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/properties.rs.html

Initializes an empty `Properties` struct. Use this when starting with no predefined properties.

```rust
pub fn new() -> Self {
    Self {
        map: HashMap::new(),
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Core Initialization and Connection

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/core.rs.html

Initializes the PipeWire core proxy, sends a hello message, and updates client properties. This is part of the setup process for a new PipeWire core instance.

```rust
proxy_object_invoke!(core_proxy, hello, VERSION)?;

        proxy_object_invoke!(client_proxy, update_properties, &this.inner.properties)?;

        this.inner
            .client
            .connect(Some(&this.inner.properties.dict()), None)?;

        Ok(this)
    }

```

--------------------------------

### Example Usage

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/pipewire_native/trait.Refcounted.html

Demonstrates how to use the `Refcounted` trait, particularly `downgrade` and `upgrade`, within a closure to manage object references.

```APIDOC
## Example usage:

```rust
let registry = core.registry();
// Generate a weak reference, so the closure does not force the object to be alive forever.
let registry_weak = registry.downgrade();

registry.add_listener(ProxyEvents {
    // Use the some_closure!() macro to avoid this boilerplate
    global: move |id, _perms, type_, version, props| {
        let registry = registry_weak
            .upgrade()
            .expect("registry hook should not outlive registry");
        let object = registry.bind(id, type_, version);
        // ...
    },
    ..Default::default()
});
```

The closure! macro can be used to reduce the boilerplate of going through the `downgrade()`/`upgrade()` cycle, especially for values that need to be sent into multiple closures.
```

--------------------------------

### Get Log Interface

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/support.rs.html

Returns a reference to the initialized log interface. Panics if the interface has not been initialized.

        self.log
            .as_ref()
            .expect("Log interface should be initialized")
    }
```

                .iter()
                .collect::<PathBuf>()
                .join(path),
        );
        if xdg_home_path.is_ok() {
            return Some(xdg_home_path);
        }
    }

    std::env::home_dir().map(|home| try_path(home.join(".config").join("pipewire").join(path)))
}
```

        if let Some(name_part) = exe.file_name() {
            if let Some(name_str) = name_part.to_str() {
                return name_str.to_string();
            }
        }
    }

    // Fallback to the process ID if we can't get the name
    format!("pid-{}", std::process::id())
});
```

let conf_prefix = std::env::var("PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_PREFIX").ok().or_else(|| {
            self.properties
                .read()
                .unwrap()
                .get(keys::CONFIG_PREFIX)
                .map(String::from)
        });

        let conf_name = std::env::var("PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_NAME")
            .ok()
            .or_else(|| {
                self.properties
                    .read()
                    .unwrap()
                    .get(keys::CONFIG_NAME)
                    .map(String::from)
            })
            .and_then(|s| if s == "client-rt.conf" { None } else { Some(s) })
            .unwrap_or("client.conf".to_string());

        conf::load(conf_prefix.as_deref(), &conf_name, &mut self.conf)?;
```

### Get Property as i32

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/properties.rs.html

Retrieves the value for a key and attempts to parse it as an `i32`. Returns `None` if the key is not found or parsing fails.

```rust
pub fn get_i32(&self, key: &str) -> Option<i32> {
    self.get(key).and_then(|v| v.parse::<i32>().ok())
}
```

### WeakRegistry Clone From

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/pipewire_native/proxy/registry/struct.WeakRegistry.html

Shows how to perform copy-assignment from another WeakRegistry instance.

```APIDOC
## fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

### Description
Performs copy-assignment from `source`.

### Method
clone_from

### Parameters
- `&mut self`: A mutable reference to the WeakRegistry instance to be updated.
- `source`: A reference to the WeakRegistry instance to copy from.
```

--------------------------------

### Get Property as u32

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/properties.rs.html

Retrieves the value for a key and attempts to parse it as a `u32`. Returns `None` if the key is not found or parsing fails.

```rust
pub fn get_u32(&self, key: &str) -> Option<u32> {
    self.get(key).and_then(|v| v.parse::<u32>().ok())
}
```

### Rust: Get Properties Dictionary from Context

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/context.rs.html

Retrieves the properties of the context as a spa::dict::Dict. This is a low-level representation for internal use.

```rust
pub(crate) fn properties_dict(&self) -> spa::dict::Dict {
    self.inner.properties.read().unwrap().dict()
}
```

--------------------------------

### Locate configuration file in standard paths

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/conf.rs.html

Searches for a configuration file by checking absolute paths, environment variables (`PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`), user home directory, and finally default system directories. It respects a global `no_config` flag.

```rust
fn get_config_path(prefix: Option<&str>, name: &str) -> std::io::Result<PathBuf> {
    let mut config_path = PathBuf::new();

    if let Some(prefix) = prefix {
        config_path.push(prefix);
    }

    config_path.push(name);

    if let Some(Ok(abs_path)) = get_abs_path(&config_path) {
        return Ok(abs_path);
    }

    if super::GLOBAL_SUPPORT.get().unwrap().no_config {
        debug!("User config disabled via global no-config");
        return get_configdatadir_path(&config_path);
    }

    if let Some(Ok(envconf_path)) = get_envconf_path(&config_path) {
        return Ok(envconf_path);
    }

    if let Some(Ok(home_path)) = get_homeconf_path(&config_path) {
        return Ok(home_path);
    }

    get_configdir_path(&config_path).or_else(|_| get_configdatadir_path(&config_path))
}
```

--------------------------------

### Get Bound ID

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/proxy/mod.rs.html

Retrieves the "global" ID associated with the proxy object. Returns None if no ID is currently bound.

```rust
pub fn bound_id(&self) -> Option<Id> {
        *self.inner.bound_id.read().unwrap()
    }
```

--------------------------------

### Rust: Connect to PipeWire Server

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/context.rs.html

Attempts to establish a connection to the PipeWire server. Returns a [Core] object representing the connection, which can be used for further interactions.

```rust
/// Attemps to create a connection to the PipeWire server. The connection is represented by the
/// returned [Core], which can then be used for further interaction with the PipeWire server.
pub fn connect(&self, properties: Option<Properties>) -> std::io::Result<Core> {
    Core::new(self, properties.unwrap_or_default())
}
```

--------------------------------

### Getting PipeWire Connection

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/core.rs.html

Returns the underlying PipeWire protocol connection object. This allows direct interaction with the server's communication channel.

```rust
pub(crate) fn connection(&self) -> protocol::connection::Connection {
        self.inner.client.connection()
    }

```

--------------------------------

### Module Proxy Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/pipewire-native/latest/src/pipewire_native/proxy/module.rs.html

Implements the `HasProxy` trait for `Module`, providing methods to get the object type, version, and the module's proxy.

```rust
impl HasProxy for Module {
    fn type_(&self) -> types::ObjectType {
        types::interface::MODULE
    }

    fn version(&self) -> u32 {
        3
    }

    fn proxy(&self) -> Proxy<Self> {
        self.inner
            .proxy
            .read()
            .unwrap()
            .as_ref()
            .expect("Module proxy should be initialised on creation")
            .clone()
    }
}
```
