al_identify_sample_f(3)

NAME
al_identify_sample_f - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

        #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
        char const *al_identify_sample_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp)

DESCRIPTION
Tries to guess the audio file type of the open ALLEGRO_FILE by reading the first few bytes. By default Allegro cannot recognize any file types, but calling al_init_acodec_addon(3) will add detection of the types it can read. You can also use al_register_sample_identifier(3) to add identification for custom file types.

Returns a pointer to a static string with a file extension for the type, including the leading dot. For example “.wav” or “.ogg”. Returns NULL if the audio type cannot be determined.

SINCE
5.2.8
