# es_mute_path(_:_:_:)

Suppresses events from executables that match a given path.

## Declaration

```swift
func es_mute_path(_ client: OpaquePointer, _ path: UnsafePointer<CChar>, _ type: es_mute_path_type_t) -> es_return_t
```

## Parameters

- `client`: A previously-created client. If the call succeeds, this client no longer receives events from executables whose paths match path.
- `path`: The path to mute. The client stops receiving events from executables whose paths match this string.
- `type`: The type of the path argument, either a prefix or a literal path.

## Return Value

Return Value A value that indicates whether the mute request succeeded or failed with an error.

## Discussion

Discussion To mute a subset of events from a path, use es_mute_path_events(_:_:_:_:_:).
