AFINITAESCHANNELDATA(3)

✨ AFINITAESCHANNELDATA ✨

okay bestie so you know those two lil functions, afInitAESChannelDataTo and afInitAESChannelData? they're the ones that set up the AES non-audio data situash in your audio file setup 💖 this is the AFINITAESCHANNELDATA(3) manual page and we're gonna read it together, no skimming, no cap 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

afInitAESChannelDataTo, afInitAESChannelData — initialize AES non-audio data in an audio file setup ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <audiofile.h>

void afInitAESChannelDataTo(AFfilesetup setup, int track, int willHaveData);
void afInitAESChannelData(AFfilesetup setup, int track);

💅 PARAMETERS 💅

• setup — a valid file setup that you got back from afNewFileSetup(3). it's giving "I was born for this" 💫
• track — picks a track inside the audio file setup. and literally, for every file format supported rn, track is always AF_DEFAULT_TRACK. like that's the only option bestie, no decisions to make 😭
• willHaveData — a boolean-valued integer that says whether AES non-audio data will be present or not. yes/no energy 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so you've got yourself an AFfilesetup structure, created with afNewFileSetup(3), and a track identified by track (and remember — AF_DEFAULT_TRACK for all currently supported file formats, periodt). afInitAESChannelDataTo initializes that track to contain AES non-audio data or not contain it, depending on what you told it. afInitAESChannelData is basically the same vibe except it always initializes the track to contain AES non-audio data. no toggle, just yes 💖

👑 real talk: currently only AIFF and AIFF-C file formats can even store AES non-audio data. every other file format literally ignores it. so if you're working in something else, this data is getting the silent treatment 🙈

💀 ERRORS 💀

afInitAESChannelDataTo and afInitAESChannelData can throw these at you:

• AF_BAD_FILESETUP — your setup is an invalid file setup. it's giving broken, bestie 🫠
• AF_BAD_TRACKID — your track is an invalid track identifier. not a real track, not invited 💀
