NAME

       WildMidi_GetOutput - retrieve raw audio data

LIBRARY

       libWildMidi

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wildmidi_lib.h>

       int WildMidi_GetOutput (midi *handle, char *buffer, unsigned long int size);

DESCRIPTION

       Places   size   bytes   of   audio   data  from  a  handle,  previously  opened  by  WildMidi_Open(3)  or
       WildMidi_OpenBuffer(3), into a buffer pointer to by buffer.

       buffer must be atleast size bytes, with size being a multiple of  4  as  the  data  is  stored  in  16bit
       interleaved stereo format.

       handle The indentifier obtained from opening a midi file with WildMidi_Open(3) or WildMidi_OpenBuffer(3)

       buffer The location supplied by the calling program where libWildMidi is to store the audio data.

       size   The size of the buffer in bytes. Since libWildMidi processes the audio in 16bit interleaved stereo
              format, this value needs to be a multiple of 4.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  -1  on  error and an error message sent to stderr, 0 when there is no more audio data, otherwise
       the number of bytes of audio data writen to buffer.

       NOTE: if the return value is less than the size you gave, this does not denote an error, it simply  means
       the lib reached the end of the midi before it could fill the buffer.
