afOpenFile(3)
=============
NAME
----
afOpenFile - open an audio file and create a file handle structure used
for subsequent calls to the Audio File Library
SYNOPSIS
--------
#include <audiofile.h>
AFfilehandle afOpenFile(const char *path, const char *mode,
AFfilesetup setup);
PARAMETERS
----------
'path' is the path to the file to be opened.
'mode' specifies a mode for opening the file: `"r"` for reading or
`"w"` for writing.
'setup' is an AFfilesetup created by linkaf:afNewFileSetup[3]. This value
is ignored for files opened for reading except when the file format is
`AF_FILE_RAWDATA`.
RETURN VALUE
------------
Upon success, `afOpenFile` returns a valid `AFfilehandle` which can
be used in subsequent calls to the Audio File Library. Upon failure,
`afOpenFile` returns NULL and generates an error.
linkaf:afCloseFile[3] is used to close the file when it is no longer
needed.
ERRORS
------
`afOpenFile` can produce the following errors:
`AF_BAD_OPEN`:: A call to `open` failed.
`AF_BAD_READ`:: A call to `read` failed
`AF_BAD_WRITE`:: A call to `write` failed.
`AF_BAD_LSEEK`:: A call to `lseek` failed.
`AF_BAD_MALLOC`:: Memory allocation failed.
`AF_BAD_FILEFMT`:: `setup` specifies a file format which is unsupported for `mode`.
`AF_BAD_SAMPFMT`:: The file's sample format is not supported.
`AF_BAD_WIDTH`:: The file's sample width is not supported.
`AF_BAD_RATE`:: The file's sample rate is not supported.
`AF_BAD_CHANNELS`:: The number of channels in the file is not supported.
`AF_BAD_FILESETUP`:: `setup` specifies an invalid or unsupported configuration.
