AUSOUNDCREATEDATAFROMBUCKET(3nas)

💖 AuSoundCreateDataFromBucket — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is one of those pages from the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally about yeeting audio data out of a bucket and into your local memory. no cap. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

AuSoundCreateDataFromBucket — copy the data from a bucket into local memory. 🪣➡️🧠

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <audio/audiolib.h>
#include <audio/soundlib.h>

AuPointer AuSoundCreateDataFromBucket(server, bucket, sound, status)
    AuServer *server;
    AuBucketID bucket;
    Sound *sound; /* RETURN */
    AuStatus *status; /* RETURN */

like. she's a function. she takes four things. two of them are RETURN values which means they get filled in by her, not passed in by you. main character energy fr fr 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• server — the connection to the audio server. yes girl, you need a whole connection. that's just how it is. 🔌
• bucket — the bucket you're pulling the data from. this is the source. the origin story. the vibe provider. 🪣
• sound — returns the description of the audio data. RETURN value, so she's writing into it, not reading from it. don't get it twisted. 📝
• status — if it's non-NULL, she flushes the output buffer and returns the status from the server. so you get the receipts. if it's NULL, no receipts, no flush, we simply do not. 🙈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

AuSoundCreateDataFromBucket reads the audio data from bucket and returns a pointer to data — or NULL if there was an error. 😭

that's it. that's the whole thing. she reads, she hands you a pointer, and if something went wrong you get NULL and you're on your own bestie. check your status argument if you want the actual tea. 🍓

💀 ERRORS 💀

• AuBadBucket — yeah. the bucket was bad. iconic of it to do that to you honestly. 🚩

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• AuSoundCreateFileFromBucket — the sibling function, the file-flavored one, iykyk. 📁
• audiolib — Network Audio System C Language Interface. the whole lore. the source material. go read it. 📚

okay real talk for one sec bestie: that NULL return is your vibe check. if you get NULL, something errored, and AuBadBucket is the one you should be side-eyeing. don't skip the check. ✋

this page lives in the soundlib chapter, version 1.9.4, and it's filed under AuSoundCre...aFromBucket(3) in the manual — the name got abbreviated for the header, which is giving ✨mysterious✨ but it's just the usual truncation thing. mwah, bye, love u, read ur error codes 💜🎀🫶
