# gk\_bind(3gk)

deal with conference events

## NAME

gk\_bind, gk\_delbind, gk\_notify -  deal with conference events

## SYNOPSIS

- **gk\_bind** *event command*

  - **gk\_delbind** *binding*

  - **gk\_notify** *event parameters*

  ## DESCRIPTION

These commands provide a way to attach commands to  GroupKit conference events (see gk\_runtime(n)).   This is an alternative mechanism to the gk\_on(n) mechanism. Each of the three conference events (newUserArrived, userDeleted, and updateEntrant) has a single parameter, the user number, which is represented as %U.

The **gk\_bind** command creates a new binding on an event, and returns a binding identifier.  This can be passed to **gk\_delbind** if your program is no longer interested in that event.  To generate your own application-specific events, use **gk\_notify**.

## SEE ALSO

gk\_runtime(n), gk\_event(n), gk\_notifier(n)
