afInitFileFormat(3dm)                                    afInitFileFormat(3dm)



NAME
     afInitFileFormat, AFinitfilefmt - initialize the audio file format type
     in an AFfilesetup structure

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/audiofile.h>

     void afInitFileFormat(AFfilesetup setup, int filefmt)

PARAMETER
     setup     is an AFfilesetup structure, previously created by a call to
               afNewFileSetup(3dm).

     filefmt   is a symbolic integer constant which specifies an audio file
               format supported by the audio file library.

DESCRIPTION
     afInitFileFormat() configures the file format parameter in an AFfilesetup
     structure.  A file opened for write access by calling afOpenFile(3dm)
     with this AFfilesetup structure will be formatted accordingly.

     The current valid audio file types (defined in <dmedia/audiofile.h>) are:

     AFFILEAIFFC            Extended Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF-C)

     AFFILEAIFF             Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF)

     AFFILENEXTSND          NeXT .snd and Sun .au

     AFFILEWAVE             Waveform Audio File Format (RIFF)

     AFFILEBICSF            Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File format

     AFFILEMPEG1BITSTREAM   MPEG-1 Audio Bitstream encoded data

     AFFILESOUNDESIGNER2    Sound Designer File Format II

     AFFILEAVR              Audio Visual Research (tm) File Format

     AFFILEIFF8SVX         Amiga IFF/8SVX File Format

     AFFILEVOC              Creative Labs VOC File Format

     AFFILESAMPLEVISION     Sample Vision File Format

     AFFILESOUNDFONT2       Creative Labs SoundFont2 (tm) File Format

     AFFILERAWDATA          Raw (headerless) audio data (used in raw read-
                              access mode only)






                                                                        Page 1

CAVEATS
     The Audio File Library will continue to expand the number of supported
     file formats.  The ability of these file formats to store various kinds
     of Audio File Library chunks and data will vary.  See
     afGetFileFormat(3dm) for some important notes about handling this
     situation.
