SoundWriteFile(3)

💾 SoundWriteFile(3) — the "put my audio in a file, bestie" moment ✨

okay so welcome to the Library Functions Manual page for SoundWriteFile, she's a lil C function from the Network Audio System and she is literally here to help you dump audio bytes into a file 🎀 no cap, she's the write-y twin of the read-y one, iykyk 💅

🦋 NAME 🦋

SoundWriteFile — write audio data to an audio file.

like. that's her whole job. she writes. to a file. audio. queen behavior 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

int SoundWriteFile(buffer, num_bytes, sound)
    char *buffer;
    int num_bytes;
    Sound sound;

not me showing you the whole signature because every single character matters, periodt 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• buffer — specifies where the data should be written from. she's your source, your origin story, the lil stash the bytes come out of 🍓
• num_bytes — specifies the length of the data. how many bytes are we talking? that number. exactly that number. no more no less 💀
• sound — specifies the audio file description. it's the Sound struct that tells her which audio file we're dealing with 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: SoundWriteFile writes num_bytes from buffer to the audio file described by sound and returns the number of bytes written. that's it. that's the tea ☕

so you hand her a buffer, you tell her num_bytes, you hand her the sound audio file description, and she ✨writes✨ — then she comes back and tells you how many bytes she actually wrote. main character energy fr fr 🫶
