okay bestie, so this page lives in the WildMidi Programmer's Manual, and the title got cutely truncated to WildMidi_...ferToMidi(3) because the full name is a whole mouthful. no cap, we're talking about WildMidi_ConvertBufferToMidi today and she is so useful. 🦋

WildMidi_ConvertBufferToMidi (uint8_t *in, uint8_t insize, uint8_t
**out, uint32_t *outsize)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so basically: you hand her a MIDI-like memory buffer, and she tries to detect, convert, and write it out into a memory buffer in actual MIDI format. she's out here doing the detective work and the formatting work, main character energy honestly. 👑

• in — the input buffer, and it's holding MIDI-like content. specifically: XMI or MUS. that's the vibe check it's running on. 🎵
• insize — the size of the input buffer. just tell her how big in is so she doesn't go wandering off the end. 🙈
• out — the output buffer. lowkey important: it gets allocated with malloc() for you, and the caller has to free() it when it's no longer needed. yes, you, bestie. she's not doing that part. don't ghost that free() or it's a leak and we're not doing leaks. 😭
• outsize — the size of the output buffer. she fills this in so you know how much MIDI goodness you got back. ✨
