NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     mdPrintEvent - Generate a descriptive string for MIDI events

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <dmedia/midi.h>

     int mdPrintEvent(char *buf, MDevent *evbuf, int count)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     mdPrintEvent can be used to format	events in a buffer for printing.  buf
     is	a user allocated character into	which the formatted string will	be
     written.  evbuf points to the array MDevents whose	descriptions are to be
     generated,	and count indicates how	many of	the events should be
     described.

     In	order to avoid overflowing buf,	the programmer should insure that the
     buffer can	accomodate 80 bytes of description per message.

     The message format	is:

     timestamp : channel : status type (string)	: byte 1 : byte	2

     If	the message is a note on or note off, the note name (eg	A3) is printed
     in	the field occupied by byte 1.  Otherwise, the numeric value is
     printed.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

     mdPrintEvent return -1 on error, 0	on success.
