MIX_ResumeTag(3)

💅 MIX_ResumeTag(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_mixer3 girlies' corner of the manual, where we wake up paused tracks and make them slay again. this one's called MIX_ResumeTag, and it's giving ✨group project coordinator✨ energy.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

MIX_ResumeTag — resume all tracks with a specific tag. not one track. ALL the tracks. with that tag. periodt. 💃

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h>

bool MIX_ResumeTag(MIX_Mixer *mixer, const char *tag);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first, a lil vibe check on what "paused" even means here, because it is NOT the same as "stopped," and this matters:

A paused track is not considered "stopped," so its MIX_TrackStoppedCallback will not fire if paused, but it won't change state by default, generate audio, or generally make progress, until it is resumed.

read that again bestie. paused track = callback stays SILENT (it does not fire), it just sits there, not changing state by default, not generating audio, not making progress. it's in its little nap era. 😴 nothing happens until it's resumed. no cap.

so what does this function do? it makes all currently-paused tracks on the specified mixer, with a specific tag, move to a playing state. that's it. whole squad, one tag, up and at 'em. 💖

and the tracks that match the specified tag that aren't currently paused? they get ignored. 🙈 they weren't asleep, so there's nothing to wake up. not our problem, not our business.
