NAME

       libxmp - A tracker module player library

INTRODUCTION

       Libxmp  is  a  module  player  library  supporting  many  mainstream and obscure module formats including
       Protracker MOD, Scream Tracker III S3M and Impulse Tracker IT. Libxmp loads the module  and  renders  the
       sound  as  linear  PCM  samples in a buffer at rate and format specified by the user, one frame at a time
       (standard modules usually play at 50 frames per second).

       Possible applications for libxmp include stand-alone module players,  module  player  plugins  for  other
       players,  module  information  extractors,  background  music replayers for games and other applications,
       module-to-mp3 renderers, etc.

   ConceptsPlayer context: Most libxmp functions require a handle that identifies the module player context.  Each
         context is independent and multiple contexts can be defined simultaneously.

       • Sequence:  Each  group  of positions in the order list that loops over itself, also known as "subsong".
         Most modules have only one sequence, but some modules,  especially  modules  used  in  games  can  have
         multiple sequences. "Hidden patterns" outside the main song are also listed as extra sequences, certain
         module authors such as Skaven commonly place extra patterns at the end of the module.

       • State: [Added in libxmp 4.2] The player can be in one of three possible states:  unloaded,  loaded,  or
         playing. The player is in unloaded state after context creation, changing to other states when a module
         is loaded or played.

       • External  sample  mixer:  [Added  in  libxmp  4.2]  Special  sound  channels  can  be  reserved   using
         xmp_start_smix()  to play module instruments or external samples. This is useful when libxmp is used to
         provide background music to games or other applications where sound effects can be played  in  response
         to events or user actions

   A simple example
       This example loads a module, plays it at 44.1kHz and writes it to a raw sound file:

          #include <stdio.h>
          #include <stdlib.h>
          #include <xmp.h>

          int main(int argc, char **argv)
          {
              xmp_context c;
              struct xmp_frame_info mi;
              FILE *f;

              /* The output raw file */
              f = fopen("out.raw", "wb");
              if (f == NULL) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "can't open output file\n");
                  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
              }

              /* Create the player context */
              c = xmp_create_context();

              /* Load our module */
              if (xmp_load_module(c, argv[1]) != 0) {
                  fprintf(stderr, "can't load module\n");
                  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
              }

              /* Play the module */
              xmp_start_player(c, 44100, 0);
              while (xmp_play_frame(c) == 0) {
                  xmp_get_frame_info(c, &mi);

                  if (mi.loop_count > 0)    /* exit before looping */
                      break;

                  fwrite(mi.buffer, mi.buffer_size, 1, f);  /* write audio data */
              }
              xmp_end_player(c);
              xmp_release_module(c);        /* unload module */
              xmp_free_context(c);          /* destroy the player context */

              fclose(f);

              exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
          }

       A player context can load and play a single module at a time. Multiple contexts can be defined if needed.

       Use  xmp_test_module()  to check if the file is a valid module and retrieve the module name and type. Use
       xmp_load_module() to load the module to memory. These two calls return 0 on success  or  <0  in  case  of
       error. Error codes are:

          -XMP_ERROR_INTERNAL   /* Internal error */
          -XMP_ERROR_FORMAT     /* Unsupported module format */
          -XMP_ERROR_LOAD       /* Error loading file */
          -XMP_ERROR_DEPACK     /* Error depacking file */
          -XMP_ERROR_SYSTEM     /* System error */
          -XMP_ERROR_STATE      /* Incorrect player state */

       If a system error occurs, the specific error is set in errno.

       Parameters  to xmp_start_player() are the sampling rate (up to 48kHz) and a bitmapped integer holding one
       or more of the following mixer flags:

          XMP_MIX_8BIT          /* Mix to 8-bit instead of 16 */
          XMP_MIX_UNSIGNED      /* Mix to unsigned samples */
          XMP_MIX_MONO          /* Mix to mono instead of stereo */
          XMP_MIX_NEAREST       /* Mix using nearest neighbor interpolation */
          XMP_MIX_NOFILTER      /* Disable lowpass filter */

       After xmp_start_player() is called, each call to  xmp_play_frame()  will  render  an  audio  frame.  Call
       xmp_get_frame_info() to retrieve the buffer address and size. xmp_play_frame() returns 0 on success or -1
       if replay should stop.

       Use xmp_end_player(), xmp_release_module() and xmp_free_context() to release memory and end replay.

   SDL example
       To use libxmp with SDL, just provide a callback function that renders module data. The module  will  play
       when SDL_PauseAudio(0) is called:

          #include <SDL/SDL.h>
          #include <xmp.h>

          static void fill_audio(void *udata, unsigned char *stream, int len)
          {
              xmp_play_buffer(udata, stream, len, 0);
          }

          int sound_init(xmp_context ctx, int sampling_rate, int channels)
          {
              SDL_AudioSpec a;

              a.freq = sampling_rate;
              a.format = (AUDIO_S16);
              a.channels = channels;
              a.samples = 2048;
              a.callback = fill_audio;
              a.userdata = ctx;

              if (SDL_OpenAudio(&a, NULL) < 0) {
                      fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", SDL_GetError());
                      return -1;
              }
          }

          int main(int argc, char **argv)
          {
              xmp_context ctx;

              if ((ctx = xmp_create_context()) == NULL)
                      return 1;

              sound_init(ctx, 44100, 2);
              xmp_load_module(ctx, argv[1]);
              xmp_start_player(ctx, 44100, 0);

              SDL_PauseAudio(0);

              sleep(10);              // Do something important here

              SDL_PauseAudio(1);

              xmp_end_player(ctx);
              xmp_release_module(ctx);
              xmp_free_context(ctx);

              SDL_CloseAudio();
              return 0;
          }

       SDL  callbacks  run in a separate thread, so don't forget to protect sections that manipulate module data
       with SDL_LockAudio() and SDL_UnlockAudio().

                 path   pathname of the module to test.

                 test_info
                        NULL,  or  a  pointer to a structure used to retrieve the module title and format if the
                        file is a valid module.  struct xmp_test_info is defined as:

                            struct xmp_test_info {
                                char name[XMP_NAME_SIZE];      /* Module title */
                                char type[XMP_NAME_SIZE];      /* Module format */

          Returns:
                 0 if the file is a valid module, or a negative error code in case of error. Error codes can  be
                 -XMP_ERROR_FORMAT  in  case  of  an  unrecognized file format, -XMP_ERROR_DEPACK if the file is
                 compressed and uncompression failed, or -XMP_ERROR_SYSTEM in case of system error  (the  system
                 error code is set in errno).

   int xmp_load_module(xmp_context c, char *path)
          Load a module into the specified player context.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

          Returns:
                 0   if   sucessful,  or  a  negative  error  code  in  case  of  error.   Error  codes  can  be
                 -XMP_ERROR_FORMAT in case of an unrecognized file format,  -XMP_ERROR_DEPACK  if  the  file  is
                 compressed  and uncompression failed, -XMP_ERROR_LOAD if the file format was recognized but the
                 file loading failed, or -XMP_ERROR_SYSTEM in case of system error (the system error code is set
                 in errno).

   int xmp_load_module_from_memory(xmp_context c, void *mem, long size)
          [Added in libxmp 4.2] Load a module from memory into the specified player context.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

                 mem    a  pointer  to the module file image in memory. Multi-file modules or compressed modules
                        can't be loaded from memory.

                 size   the size of the module, or 0 if the size is unknown or not specified. If size is set  to
                        0  certain  module  formats  won't  be  recognized,  the MD5 digest will not be set, and
                        module-specific quirks won't be applied.

          Returns:
                 0  if  sucessful,  or  a  negative  error  code  in  case  of  error.   Error  codes   can   be
                 -XMP_ERROR_FORMAT  in  case  of an unrecognized file format, -XMP_ERROR_LOAD if the file format
                 was recognized but the file loading failed, or -XMP_ERROR_SYSTEM in case of system  error  (the
                 system error code is set in errno).

   void xmp_release_module(xmp_context c)
          Release memory allocated by a module from the specified player context.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

   void xmp_scan_module(xmp_context c)
          Scan   the   loaded   module  for  sequences  and  timing.  Scanning  is  automatically  performed  by
          xmp_load_module() and this function should be called only if xmp_set_player() is used to change player
          timing (with parameter XMP_PLAYER_VBLANK) in libxmp 4.0.2 or older.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

   void xmp_get_module_info(xmp_context c, struct xmp_module_info *info)
          Retrieve current module data.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

                 info   pointer  to  structure containing the module data.  struct xmp_module_info is defined as
                        follows:

                            struct xmp_module_info {
                                unsigned char md5[16];          /* MD5 message digest */

   Module playing
   int xmp_start_player(xmp_context c, int rate, int format)
          Start playing the currently loaded module.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

                 rate   the sampling rate to use, in Hz (tipically 44100).  Valid  values  range  from  8kHz  to
                        48kHz.

                 flags  bitmapped configurable player flags, one or more of the following:

                            XMP_FORMAT_8BIT         /* Mix to 8-bit instead of 16 */
                            XMP_FORMAT_UNSIGNED     /* Mix to unsigned samples */
                            XMP_FORMAT_MONO         /* Mix to mono instead of stereo */

          Returns:
                 0   if   sucessful,  or  a  negative  error  code  in  case  of  error.   Error  codes  can  be
                 -XMP_ERROR_INTERNAL in case of a internal player error, -XMP_ERROR_INVALID if the sampling rate
                 is  invalid,  or  -XMP_ERROR_SYSTEM  in  case  of system error (the system error code is set in
                 errno).

   int xmp_play_frame(xmp_context c)
          Play one frame of the module. Modules usually play at 50 frames per second.  Use  xmp_get_frame_info()
          to retrieve the buffer containing audio data.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

          Returns:
                 0  if sucessful, -XMP_END if the module ended or was stopped, or -XMP_ERROR_STATE if the player
                 is not in playing state.

   void xmp_get_frame_info(xmp_context c, struct xmp_frame_info *info)
          Retrieve current frame data.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

                 info   pointer to structure containing current frame data.  struct xmp_frame_info is defined as
                        follows:

                            struct xmp_frame_info {           /* Current frame information */
                                int pos;            /* Current position */
                                int pattern;        /* Current pattern */
                                int row;            /* Current row in pattern */

                        This  function  should  be  used to retrieve sound buffer data after xmp_play_frame() is
                        called. Fields buffer and buffer_size contain the pointer to the sound buffer  PCM  data
                        and its size. The buffer size will be no larger than XMP_MAX_FRAMESIZE.

   int xmp_play_buffer(xmp_context c, void *buffer, int size, int loop)
          [Added  in  libxmp  4.1] Fill the buffer with PCM data up to the specified size. This is a convenience
          function that calls xmp_play_frame() internally to fill the user-supplied buffer --  don't  call  both
          functions  in  the  same replay loop, choose one of them. If you don't need equally sized data chunks,
          xmp_play_frame() will result in better performance.

          Parameters:

                 c      the player context handle.

                 buffer the buffer to fill with PCM data, or NULL to reset the internal state.

                 size   buffer size in bytes.

                 loop   stop replay when the loop counter reaches the specified value,  or  0  to  disable  loop
                        checking.

          Returns:
                 0  if  sucessful,  -XMP_END  if  module  was  stopped  or  the  loop  counter  was  reached, or
                 -XMP_ERROR_STATE if the player is not in playing state.

EXTERNAL SAMPLE MIXER API

       Libxmp 4.2 includes a mini-API that can be used to add sound effects to games and  similar  applications,
       provided  that you have a low latency sound system. It allows module instruments or external sample files
       in WAV format to be played in response to arbitrary events.

   Example
       This example using SDL loads a module and a sound sample, plays the module as background music, and plays
       the sample when a key is pressed:

          #include <SDL/SDL.h>
          #include <xmp.h>

          static void fill_audio(void *udata, unsigned char *stream, int len)
