πŸ’– AuGetElements(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to AuGetElements(3) from the Library Functions Manual β€” yes it's a real manual page, and yes it's lowkey iconic. this is the one that pulls the elements out of a flow. let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

AuGetElements β€” get the elements in a flow πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

AuElement *AuGetElements(server, flow, clocked, num_elements, status)
    AuServer *server;
    AuFlowID flow;
    AuBool *clocked; /* RETURN */
    int *num_elements; /* RETURN */
    AuStatus *status; /* RETURN */

the way this function signature is giving "i hand you back a whole list, no big deal" πŸ’…


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • server β€” the connection to the audio server. like, your link to the whole vibe. πŸ”₯
  • flow β€” the ID of the flow you wanna grab the elements from. this is the one you're snooping on, respectfully. πŸ‘‘
  • clocked β€” returns a boolean value that tells you if the flow is clocked. is it on the clock or not, bestie, that's the question πŸ•
  • num_elements β€” returns the number of elements. counting era, fr fr πŸ”’
  • status β€” if it's non-NULL, it flushes the output buffer and returns the status from the server. so it's not just a return value, it's a whole moment ✨

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

AuGetElements</purl> returns the list of elements that make up flow β€” or, if there was an error, it returns NULL, with num_elements set to 0. 😭 so no elements, no count, just vibes and an error.

🫢 heads up: use AuFreeElements to free this list when it's no longer needed. do not ghost your memory allocation, bestie. that's not main character energy, that's a leak.

πŸ’€ ERRORS πŸ’€

  • AuBadFlow β€” the flow said no ❌
