AL_GET_AUDIO_STREAM_LENGTH_SECS(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this page is from the Library Functions Manual and it's all about al_get_audio_stream_length_secs — the Allegro 5 API function that tells you how long an audio stream is, in seconds. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

double al_get_audio_stream_length_secs(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So the function returns the length of the stream in seconds, but only if known. If it's not known? It returns zero. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

lowkey important: "if known" is doing real work here — unknown length = 0, not a magical guess 💀

Right now, currently, you can only call this on streams created with:

• al_load_audio_stream(3)
• al_play_audio_stream(3)
• al_load_audio_stream_f(3)
• al_play_audio_stream_f(3)

Those four are the main characters for this function. Don't try to sneak in some other stream and expect it to work, bestie 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• al_get_audio_stream_position_secs(3) — the obvious bestie for position vibes ✨

Cute sign-off time: source/version is the Allegro reference manual, and the date isn't listed on this page, so no fake timestamp from me 💅 the manual title is already folded up top where it belongs 🎀💖
