# send\_osc(1)

Sends a single OSC message

## NAME

send\_osc - Sends a single OSC message

## SYNOPSIS

**send\_osc** *port* *path* \[,*types*\] \[*args*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**send\_osc** sends an OSC message to the specified *port* (UDP port number, or any other address string supported by liblo). The message is delivered to *path*. If the first argument following the path starts with a comma, it's interpreted as a type string, specifying the OSC data types to be used for sending the message arguments. Otherwise, send\_osc automatically tries to use appropriate data types. Valid integer and float values are sent as such, anything else is sent as a string.
