AuGetScratchFlow(3)

💖 AuGetScratchFlow(3) 💖

okay bestie, we're in the audiolib manual — that's the Network Audio System C Language Interface, and this little function is literally the friend who always has a spare flow ID in her bag. 🎀

---

✨ Name ✨

AuGetScratchFlow — get a scratch flow 🦋

---

✨ Synopsis ✨

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

AuFlowID AuGetScratchFlow(server, status)
    AuServer *server;
    AuStatus *status; /* RETURN */

---

✨ Arguments ✨

• server — the connection to the audio server. that's your link to the whole party. 🔥
• status — if it's non-NULL, we flush the output buffer and hand you back the status from the server. if it's NULL, we just… don't. 🙈

---

✨ Description ✨

so here's the tea: AuGetScratchFlow grabs one of the pre-allocated flow ID's if one is available, or — plot twist — it creates a brand new flow if there isn't one just sitting there. 👑

either way it returns the flow ID. and if something went wrong? you get AuNone. no flow, no vibes, just AuNone. 😭

---

✨ Errors ✨

• AuBadAlloc. that's it, that's the whole list. 💀
