✨ AuDefineToFormat ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to AuDefineToFormat(3) 💖 this one lives in the Library Functions Manual and it is literally the cutest tiny little lookup function — it takes a C-preprocessor define and hands you back the format it stands for. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's reliable, she ate 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

like. that's her whole personality. no cap. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

int AuDefineToFormat(define)
    char *define;

yes she's got old-school K&R vibes and we respect the heritage, periodt 👑

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• define — specifies the C-preprocessor define. that's the one and only thing you're handing her, bestie. just the define. give her the define and she'll do the rest 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ AuDefineToFormat returns the format specified by define — or, and listen carefully because this is the important part, -1 if define isn't valid. 😭

so like: valid define in, format out ✨. invalid define in, you get a -1 and honestly that's your sign that something's not giving. it's not a crash, it's not a mystery, it's just -1. lowkey iconic of her to be that straightforward fr fr.

ngl if you're out here passing an invalid define and then acting shocked when you get -1... that's on you bestie 🙈 the docs told you. she told you. everybody told you.
