        A client object is a *context manager*, i.e. it can be used in a
        *with statement* to automatically call `activate()` in the
        beginning of the statement and `deactivate()` and `close()` on
        exit.

        Parameters
        ----------
        name : str
            The desired client name of at most `client_name_size()`
            characters.  The name scope is local to each server.
            Unless forbidden by the *use_exact_name* option, the server

        ----------------
        use_exact_name : bool

        servername : str
            Selects from among several possible concurrent server
            instances.
            Server names are unique to each user.  If unspecified, use
            ``'default'`` unless ``JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER`` is defined in
            the process environment.
        session_id : str
            Pass a SessionID Token. This allows the sessionmanager to

            transport is rolling, or when any client has requested a new
            position in the previous cycle.  The first cycle after
            `set_timebase_callback()` is also treated as a new position,
            or the first cycle after `activate()` if the client had been
            inactive.  The *callback* must have this signature::

                callback(state: int, blocksize: int, pos: jack_position_t, new_pos: bool) -> None

            state
                The current transport state.  See `transport_state`.
            blocksize
                The number of frames in the current period.
                See `blocksize`.
            pos
                The position structure for the next cycle; ``pos.frame``
                will be its frame number.  If *new_pos* is ``False``,
                this structure contains extended position information
                from the current cycle.  If *new_pos* is ``True``, it
                contains whatever was set by the requester.
                The *callback*'s task is to update the extended
                information here.  See `transport_query_struct()`
                for details about ``jack_position_t``.
            new_pos
                ``True`` for a newly requested *pos*, or for the first
                cycle after the timebase callback is defined.

            .. note:: The *pos* argument must not be used to set
               ``pos.frame``.  To change position, use

        conditional : bool

            maximum length of this full name.  Exceeding that will cause
            the port registration to fail.

            The port name must be unique among all ports owned by this
            client.
            If the name is not unique, the registration will fail.
        is_terminal : bool

            port will not be passed on or made available at any other
            port.
            For an output port: If ``True``, the data available at the
            port does not originate from any other port

            Audio synthesizers, I/O hardware interface clients, HDR
            systems are examples of clients that would set this flag for
            their ports.
        is_physical : bool

        A ringbuffer is a good way to pass data between threads
        (e.g. between the main program and the process callback),
        when streaming realtime data to slower media, like audio file
        playback or recording.

        The key attribute of a ringbuffer is that it can be safely
        accessed by two threads simultaneously -- one reading from the
        buffer and the other writing to it -- without using any
        synchronization or mutual exclusion primitives.  For this to
        work correctly, there can only be a single reader and a single
        writer thread.  Their identities cannot be interchanged.

        ----------
        size : int
            Size in bytes.  JACK will allocate a buffer of at least this
