💖 MIX_ResumeTrack(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_mixer3 FUNCTIONS corner of the internet, where we are about to un-pause a track and let it live its truth. ✨ this function is called MIX_ResumeTrack and it is, no cap, exactly what it sounds like. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

MIX_ResumeTrack — resume a currently-paused track. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h>

bool MIX_ResumeTrack(MIX_Track *track);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. a paused track is not considered "stopped", which is a distinction that matters, okay? it means its MIX_TrackStoppedCallback will not fire if the track is paused. 🫶 but also, by default, a paused track won't change state, won't generate audio, and generally won't make any progress — like, it is fully ghosting the whole concept of forward motion — until it gets resumed. 😭

here's the tea tho: it is legal to resume a track that's in any state. playing, paused, or stopped, doesn't matter, you're allowed. 💖 unless the track is currently paused, resuming does nothing, and returns true. yes, "nothing happened" is still a success bestie, that's just how this function loves. a false return is reserved only for actual errors (things like MIX_Init not being called, or track being NULL). 🚨

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

  • track — the track to resume. the main character of this operation. give her the glow-up. 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns true if the track has resumed, false on error. if you get that false, go call SDL_GetError() for the details, she'll tell you what went wrong. 🔍

💜 THREAD SAFETY 💜

it is safe to call this function from any thread. go wild, gorl. no locks required, no drama. 🌈

🌟 AVAILABILITY 🌟

this function has been available since SDL_mixer 3.0.0. vintage-ish but still thriving. 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 this lil' rewrite is brought to you by SDL_mixer, version SDL_mixer 3.2.4, and it's giving dated, copyrighted, officially documented. stay paused-free, angel. 🎀✨🫶
