AL_GET_SAMPLE_INSTANCE_TIME(3)

💖 al_get_sample_instance_time(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual ✨ — this one's a tiny little icon in the Allegro 5 API and honestly it's giving "short but slay" 💅. Let me put you on real quick.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_sample_instance_time — the Allegro 5 API girlie who tells you how long a sample instance is 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

float al_get_sample_instance_time(const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

like, that's the whole thing. one function, one float, one const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE * pointer named spl. no cap, that's it 🫶

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕ — al_get_sample_instance_time hands you back the length of the sample instance in seconds. that's it. that's the vibe 🦋

the one tiny little catch? it assumes a playback speed of 1.0 — so like, normal speed, main-character energy, no fast-forwarding or slow-mo shenanigans 💀. if you're playing it at some other speed... that's a whole different conversation, bestie 🙈

lowkey important: the result is in seconds, not samples, not milliseconds — seconds. type it into your notes app 📝✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• al_get_sample_instance_length(3) — the sibling function, go say hi 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 💅🌈⭐

with love from the Allegro reference manual — that's the source + the vibe, mwah 💖🎀🦋 (and yes, the footer in the original also had al_get_sam...stance_time(3) hanging out on the right side, iconic of it honestly 👑✨💜)
