AuMakeNoopAction(3)

💖 AuMakeNoopAction — from the Library Functions Manual, bestie 💖

okay so. you're in audio/audiolib.h land, you want an action that does literally nothing (iconic behaviour, honestly), and this little macro is gonna set you up. no cap. it's giving "silence, but make it intentional." ✨

✨ Name ✨

AuMakeNoopAction — initialize an action 🎀

---

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

AuMakeNoopAction(action, trigger_state, trigger_prev_state,
trigger_reason)
    AuElementAction action; /* RETURN */
    unsigned char trigger_state;
    unsigned char trigger_prev_state;
    unsigned char trigger_reason;

---

🦋 Arguments 🦋

• action — this is the RETURN one, babe. it's where the freshly initialized action gets handed back to you. 💅
• trigger_state — specifies the state that triggers the action. this one must be one of these constants: AuStateStop, AuStateStart, AuStatePause, or AuStateAny.
• trigger_prev_state — specifies the previous state for the trigger. and yeah, same deal, it must be one of: AuStateStop, AuStateStart, AuStatePause, or AuStateAny.
• trigger_reason — specifies the reason for the action. this one must be one of these constants: AuReasonUser, AuReasonUnderrun, AuReasonOverrun, AuReasonEOF, AuReasonWatermark, AuReasonHardware, or AuReasonAny. so many reasons, so little time 😭

ngl the original page spells it "thses" twice — we're keeping the vibe but know that the constants list is the real one, and if you pass something outside those lists you're on your own. 🙈

🌈 Description 🌈

so here's the tea 🍓 — AuMakeNoopAction sets the action field of action to AuElementActionNoop, and then initializes the other fields with the remaining arguments. that's it. that's the whole thing. it's a noop, it's chillin', it's not doing anything, and that's exactly what you asked for. 👑

and the fun part? AuMakeNoopAction is implemented as a macro. so don't go trying to take its address or whatever, bestie, it's a macro, periodt. 💀
