💖 AuConvertShortToData(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual — this is the AuConvertShortToData page and it's lowkey a lil legend. it lives in audio/audiolib.h, it's giving audio-girlie energy, and it does exactly one thing but it does it flawlessly. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

AuConvertShortToData — converts signed short integers to the specified format. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

int AuConvertShortToData(format, num_bytes, data)
    int format;
    int num_bytes;
    AuPointer data;

she's a classic. takes three args, returns an int, doesn't overcomplicate. main character energy fr 💅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • format — the format you wanna convert to. currently, the following data formats are defined: AuFormatULAW8, AuFormatLinearUnsigned8, AuFormatLinearSigned8, AuFormatLinearSigned16MSB, AuFormatLinearUnsigned16MSB, AuFormatSignedLinear16LSB, and AuFormatLinearUnsigned16LSB. yes bestie, that's the whole list, and you gotta pick from it 👑
  • num_bytes — the number of bytes of data. literally just how much data we're working with, count them bytes, don't skip any 🍓
  • data — the data to convert. hand it over, she'll handle it 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so here's the tea: AuConvertShortToData converts num_bytes of data from signed short integer to format. that's the vibe. she's a converter, she's focused, she's not doing side quests.

and the return value? iconic and simple:

  • returns 0 if successful 🎉
  • returns -1 if format isn't valid 💀

that's right, if you hand her a bogus format she's not gonna pretend, she's just gonna say -1 and move on. respect. periodt.

ngl, always check that return value — a sneaky -1 means your format was a no-go, and your data did not get converted the way you hoped 😭
