frames_to_bytes(9)

💅 frames_to_bytes(9) 💅

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for frames_to_bytes(9). It's giving tiny helper energy, and honestly? We love a unit-conversion icon. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

frames_to_bytes — unit conversion of the size from frames to bytes. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t frames_to_bytes (struct snd_pcm_runtime *runtime ,
snd_pcm_sframes_t size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• runtime — PCM runtime instance, aka the context bestie. 👑
• size — size in frames, the frame-count cutie you're converting. 🦋

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns the byte size. That's it, that's the whole return tea. 💅
