AuSoundPla...usFromFile(3)

💖 AuSoundPla...usFromFile(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual entry for AuSoundPla...usFromFile(3) — yes the name is long, yes it got squished, we're all doing our best here 🫶 this is a soundlib page and it's literally about pressing play. let's GO.

✨ Name ✨

AuSoundPlaySynchronousFromFile — play a file. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

first you gotta invite the right people to the party:

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

then here's the function signature, no cap:

AuBool AuSoundPlaySynchronousFromFile(server, filename, volume)
    AuServer *server;
    char *filename;
    int volume;

🦋 Arguments 🦋

• server — the connection to the audio server, aka who you're talking to. your main character link 🔗
• filename — the name of the audio data file. the actual song, the moment, the vibe ✨
• volume — the volume level. turn it up, turn it down, you're in control 💅

🌈 Description 🌈

okay so here's the tea 🍓: AuSoundPlaySynchronousFromFile plays filename and returns AuTrue when it's done, or AuFalse if there was an error.

that's it!! that's the whole thing!! synchronous means it waits for the whole thing to finish before it comes back to you — it does not ghost you mid-song, it stays until the track ends 💖. and if something went sideways? AuFalse, and you'll know 🙈.
