SDL_AUDIO_BITSIZE(3)

💖 SDL_AUDIO_BITSIZE 💖

ok so bestie, this is a page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS collection, and it's about SDL_AUDIO_BITSIZE(3) — a lil macro that tells you how many bits are in your audio format. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_AUDIO_BITSIZE — Retrieve the size, in bits, from an SDL_AudioFormat.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_audio.h>

#define SDL_AUDIO_BITSIZE(x)         ((x) & SDL_AUDIO_MASK_BITSIZE)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works is iconic: you hand it an audio format, it hands you back the bit count. That's it. That's the function.

Like, for example:

SDL_AUDIO_BITSIZE(SDL_AUDIO_S16)

returns 16. literally just 16. slay. 💅

---

🎀 MACRO PARAMETERS 🎀

• x — an SDL_AudioFormat value. that's the one and only thing you're passing in, bestie.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns data size in bits. (yes, in bits — not bytes, don't get it twisted 🙈)

---

💜 THREAD SAFETY 💜

It is safe to call this macro from any thread. so go off, call it from wherever, whenever. main character energy across every thread. 🔥

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0. if you're on anything older, sorry babe, it's not there yet. 😭

---

fr fr that's the whole page. no hidden lore, no gotchas, just a bitsize and a dream. 🫶
