AuFileFormats(3)

💖 AuFileFormats — the Name section, bestie 💖

okay so AuFileFormats is literally all about audio file formats 💅 like, the file containers themselves, not the data inside them. we love a format moment.

✨ Synopsis ✨

first things first, you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

and currently, these are the file formats that are supported — like, that's the whole roster, periodt:

SoundFileFormatSnd, SoundFileFormatVoc, SoundFileFormatWave, SoundFileFormatAiff, SoundFileFormatSvx.

and now the tea on each one 🫖:

• SoundFileFormatSnd — this is the format Sun and NeXT machines run with 🖥️✨. it supports the AuFormatULAW8, AuFormatLinearUnsigned8 and AuFormatLinearSigned16MSB data formats. three for the price of one, we love to see it.
• SoundFileFormatVoc — this one is the Creative Labs VOC file format 💾. it supports the AuFormatLinearUnsigned8 data format. just the one. it's giving minimalist.
• SoundFileFormatWave — the Microsoft WAVE file format 🪟🌸. it supports the AuFormatLinearUnsigned8 and AuFormatLinearSigned16LSB data formats. she's versatile!
• SoundFileFormatAiff — the format Apple and SGI machines get down with 🍎🎀. it supports the AuFormatLinearSigned8 and AuFormatLinearSigned16MSB data formats.
• SoundFileFormatSvx — the format used on Amigas 💜🦋. it supports the AuFormatLinearSigned8 data format. old school icon behavior honestly.
