💖 AuSoundPla...usFromFile(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual section for this one — yes the page name is literally truncated with ... in the middle, that's just how it is, we don't ask questions, we just vibe 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

AuSoundPlaySynchronousFromFile — play a file. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it synchronously, meaning she stays with you the whole time, no ghosting 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

AuBool AuSoundPlaySynchronousFromFile(server, filename, volume)
    AuServer *server;
    char *filename;
    int volume;

like look at her. two includes, one function, three args. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • server — the connection to the audio server. your lil hotline to the sound department 📞
  • filename — the name of the audio data file. the actual file you wanna hear, name and all 🎵
  • volume — the volume level. turn it up, turn it down, you're in control ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so AuSoundPlaySynchronousFromFile plays filename and hands back AuTrue when it's done — or AuFalse if there was an error 😭

that's the whole thing. it plays the file, and because it's the synchronous girlie, it doesn't come back until the playing is finished. no cap, she's committed 🫶
