.SH NAME
WildMidi_GetOutput \- retrieve raw audio data
.PP
.SH LIBRARY
.B libWildMidi
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <wildmidi_lib.h>
.PP
.B int WildMidi_GetOutput (midi *\fIhandle\fP, char *\fIbuffer\fP, unsigned long int \fIsize\fP);
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
Places \fIsize\fP bytes of audio data from a \fIhandle\fP, previously opened by \fBWildMidi_Open\fP\fR(3)\fP or \fBWildMidi_OpenBuffer\fP\fR(3)\fP, into a buffer pointer to by \fIbuffer\fP.
.PP
\fIbuffer\fP must be atleast \fIsize\fP bytes, with \fIsize\fP being a multiple of 4 as the data is stored in 16bit interleaved stereo format.
.PP
.IP \fIhandle\fP
The indentifier obtained from opening a midi file with \fBWildMidi_Open\fR(3)\fP or \fBWildMidi_OpenBuffer\fR(3)\fP
.PP
.IP \fIbuffer\fP
The location supplied by the calling program where libWildMidi is to store the audio data.
.PP
.IP \fIsize\fP
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.
.PP
.SH "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 \fIbuffer\fP.
.PP
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.
