afQuery queries the capabilities of the Audio File Library. SYNOPSIS #include AUpvlist afQuery (int querytype, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4); long afQueryLong (int querytype, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4); double afQueryDouble (int querytype, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4); void *afQueryPointer (int querytype, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4); PARAMETERS querytype can be one of the following: AF_QUERYTYPE_FILEFMT AF_QUERYTYPE_INST AF_QUERYTYPE_INSTPARAM AF_QUERYTYPE_COMPRESSION AF_QUERYTYPE_COMPRESSIONPARAM AF_QUERYTYPE_MISC AF_QUERYTYPE_MARK AF_QUERYTYPE_LOOP For AF_QUERYTYPE_FILEFMT, the following selectors are valid values for arg1: AF_QUERY_LABEL - Request a short label string for the format (e.g., "aiff"). AF_QUERY_NAME - Request a short name for the format (e.g., "MS RIFF WAVE"). AF_QUERY_DESC - Request a descriptive name for the format (e.g., "Audio Interchange File Format"). AF_QUERY_IMPLEMENTED - Request a boolean value indicating whether the format is implemented for reading and writing in the Audio File Library. AF_QUERY_ID_COUNT - Request the total number of formats implemented. AF_QUERY_IDS - Request an integer array of the id token values of all implemented file formats. AF_QUERY_COMPRESSION_TYPES - Used with the selector AF_QUERY_VALUE_COUNT in arg2, this will return a long integer containing the number of compression schemes available for use within the format specified in arg3. Used with selector AF_QUERY_VALUES, it returns a pointer to an integer array containing the compression id values of the compression schemes supported by the format specified in arg3. AF_QUERY_SAMPLE_FORMATS - Used with the selector AF_QUERY_DEFAULT in arg2, this will return the default sample format for the file format specified in arg3. AF_QUERY_SAMPLE_SIZES - Used with selector AF_QUERY_DEFAULT in arg2, this will return the default sample width for the file format specified in arg3. ERRORS afQuery can produce the following errors: * AF_BAD_QUERYTYPE - The query type is unsupported. * AF_BAD_QUERY - The arguments to the query are bad.
