NAME
       WildMidi_GetOutput - retrieve raw audio data

LIBRARY
       libWildMidi

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       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 Wild‐
	      Midi_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.
