✨ AuDataFormats(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the audio data formats page of audiolib — it's giving "short but essential," and we're gonna make it make sense 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

AuDataFormats — audio data formats. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

and rn, these are the data formats that are defined, no cap:

• AuFormatULAW8 — says the samples are stored as 8-bit ulaw values. ✨
• AuFormatLinearUnsigned8 — samples are stored as unsigned 8-bit values 💅
• AuFormatLinearSigned8 — samples are stored as signed 8-bit values 🫶
• AuFormatLinearSigned16MSB — samples are stored as signed 16-bit values, with the most significant byte first. big-endian girlies rise 👑
• AuFormatLinearUnsigned16MSB — samples are stored as unsigned 16-bit values, with the most significant byte first ⭐
• AuFormatSignedLinear16LSB — this one's the format where samples are stored as signed 16-bit values, with the least significant byte first 🌈
• AuFormatLinearUnsigned16LSB — the format where samples are stored as unsigned 16-bit values, with the least significant byte first 🍓

heads up bestie: the exact casing matters here — AuFormatSignedLinear16LSB really does have "Signed" and "Linear" swapped around compared to its siblings, and the "MSB"/"LSB" suffixes are doing the heavy lifting for byte order. type them exactly like they're written, fr fr 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie — you ate that 💅✨

this one's from audiolib - misc, version 1.9.5, and it's the AuDataFormats(3) page — go forth and format your audio, main character 🎀🦋💖
