AUSOUNDCREATEBUCKETFROMFILE(3x)

✨ AuSoundCreateBucketFromFile ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're doing the soundlib thing and it's from the Library Functions Manual section 3, so you know it's the C-language-interface girlies' territory 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

AuSoundCreateBucketFromFile — create a bucket and initialize its contents. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly no cap 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <audio/audiolib.h>
#include <audio/soundlib.h>

AuBucketID AuSoundCreateBucketFromFile(server, filename, access,
attributes, status)
    AuServer *server;
    char *filename;

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• server — the connection to the audio server. this is your link to the server, your main character connection, your situationship with the daemon 🫶
• filename — the name of the file. the actual file, the audio data source, the one we're reading from 🍓
• access — the access restrictions the bucket should have. you decide who gets in, you set the boundaries, we love a boundary-setting queen 👑
• attributes — if non-NUll, returns the attributes of the created bucket. (yes, NUll, that's literally how it's spelled in the original, and honestly? slay, typos are human, we move on 🙈) it's a RETURN value, so she hands you the bucket's whole vibe back.
• status — if non-NULL, flush the output buffer and return the status from the server. also a RETURN value. flush the buffer, get the tea, know where you stand 💀

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

AuSoundCreateBucketFromFile creates a bucket, initializing the contents with the audio data from filename, and returns the bucket ID or AuNone if there was error.

that's the whole plot. she makes the bucket, she stuffs it with the audio data from your file, and she either gives you back a bucket ID or she gives you AuNone because something went wrong 😭 no in-between, no ambiguity, very direct, very "we're not doing mixed signals in this house" ✨

---

🦋 ERRORS 🦋

• AuBadValue
• AuBadLength
• AuBadAlloc

three little gremlins that can pop up and ruin the vibe. if you see one of these, that's the universe telling you something was off 💀
