🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_sample_instance_length — Allegro 5 API

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

unsigned int al_get_sample_instance_length(const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so al_get_sample_instance_length returns the length of the sample instance, and it measures that in sample values 🎶 (not seconds, not vibes, actual sample values, iykyk).

and here's the tea ☕ — this property may differ from the length of the instance's sample data. so like, don't just assume they match, bestie, they're two different numbers and that's literally fine 🫶. take the const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl you're given, hand it over, get your unsigned int back, slay 👑
