✨ AuFormatToString(3) — from the Library Functions Manual ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're diving into AuFormatToString(3) from the audiolib crew 🎀

💖 Name 💖

AuFormatToString — literally just get the name of a format. that's the whole job. no cap. 🦋

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

char *AuFormatToString(format)
    unsigned int format;

✨ Arguments ✨

  • format — this is the audio data format you're asking about, an unsigned int. rn the formats that are actually defined are: AuFormatULAW8, AuFormatLinearUnsigned8, AuFormatLinearSigned8, AuFormatLinearSigned16MSB, AuFormatLinearUnsigned16MSB, AuFormatLinearSigned16LSB, and AuFormatLinearUnsigned16LSB. that's the whole roster, periodt 👑

🫶 Description 🫶

so like, AuFormatToString hands you back the name of format — or it says "Unknown" if format isn't one it recognizes. simple as that. it's giving reliable bestie energy 💅

not me side-eyeing a format it doesn't know and getting "Unknown" back 😭 that's the vibe check and you failed it.
