WildMidi_OpenBuffer(3)

💖 WildMidi_OpenBuffer(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the WildMidi Programmer's Manual — yes, the actual manual manual, and yes, we're doing this together 🫶 this one's about feeding WildMidi a midi file that you already have chillin' in memory. no file opening, no drama, just vibes and a buffer.

✨ NAME ✨

WildMidi_OpenBuffer — open a midi file buffer for processing 🌸

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libWildMidi

like. that's the library. that's the whole section. she's brief and she knows it 💅

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

#include <wildmidi_lib.h>

midi *WildMidi_OpenBuffer (uint8_t *midibuffer, uint32_t size)

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so the whole point of this function is: you already have a file sitting in memory (you buffered it yourself, main character behavior), and now you want WildMidi to actually do something with it. so you call this. and it opens that buffered file for processing. slay ✨

• midibuffer — this is the memory location of your buffered file, bestie 📍 and listen, it needs to be in one of these formats: HMP, HMI, MIDI, or XMIDI. no substitutions, no "I made my own format", okay? and the second you call this function, any changes you make to that buffer afterwards will have no effect — it's giving "the door's closed, we've moved on" 🚪✨
• size — the size of the midi file, in bytes, as stored in memory 📏

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

returns NULL on error 😭 otherwise it hands you back a handle for the midi buffer you just opened 👑 iconic.
