## OSCinit

OSCinit — Start a listening process for OSC messages to a particular port.

## Description

## Performance

The listener runs in the background. See OSClisten for details.

## Example

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