WILDMIDI_GETMIDIOUTPUT(3)

💖 WILDMIDI_GETMIDIOUTPUT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the WildMidi Programmer's Manual — this is the page for WildMidi_GetMidiOutput(3) and it's literally the "gimme the actual MIDI file back" function. no cap. let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

WildMidi_GetMidiOutput — get a midi file of a file being processed. yes girl, it hands you the MIDI data itself, not the audio. iconic behaviour honestly 💅

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libWildMidi

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <wildmidi_lib.h>

int WildMidi_GetMidiOutput (midi *handle, int8_t **buffer, uint32_t
*size)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — this function writes the midi-format data from the file that's currently being processed into the memory location that buffer points at. The data will be in type-0 format for type-0 and type-1 files. For type-2 files, the data will be in type-2 format unless the WM_MO_SAVEASTYPE0 option is set.

here's the cast of characters, bestie:

• handle — the identifier you got from opening a file with WildMidi_Open(3) or WildMidi_OpenBuffer(3). it's the little name tag for your file basically 🏷️
• buffer — the memory location where libWildMidi is gonna store the midi data from the handle. ⚠️ heads up queen: the buffer will be allocated with malloc() and must be free()d by the caller when it's no longer needed. that's on you, not on the library. don't forget or it's a leak bestie 😭
• size — the location where libWildMidi is to store the size of the midi data stored in buffer. so you know how much you got ✨

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

Returns -1 on error, otherwise returns 0. that's it. simple. slay.
