AuMakeElementState(3)

💖 NAME 💖

AuMakeElementState — she initializes an element state structure, and she does it flawlessly. periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

AuMakeElementState(state, flow, element_num, state)
    AuElementState *state; /* RETURN */
    AuFlowID flow;
    unsigned char element_num;
    unsigned char state;

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• state — bestie, this one's the RETURN value: she hands you back the element state structure all initialized and ready to slay. 🫶
• flow — the ID of the flow. yes, THE flow. we love a specified ID. ✨
• element_num — the index of the element inside flow. and if you wanna point at the whole flow instead of one little element? use AuElementAll. iykyk. 👑
• state — the state the element is gonna be in. it should be one of these constants, no improvising: AuStateStop, AuStateStart, or AuStatePause. that's it, that's the list, don't be out here making up your own. 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so AuMakeElementState initializes an AuElementState structure for you — and it's doing this so that your subsequent call to AuGetElementStates or AuSetElementStates actually has something cute to work with. it's giving setup era. it's giving "do this first." 🌈

also, fun fact, she's implemented as a macro. not a function. a macro. so no, you can't take her address, don't even try. 🧚

😭 ERRORS 😭

• AuBadFlow
• AuBadElement

these are the two ways this can go wrong and honestly both are so valid of the library. if you see them, it's a vibe check that did not pass. 💀
