NAME
SYNOPSIS
bgetin(input,fno,size)
float *input;
blayout(output,chlist,fno,size)
float *output;
int *chlist;
baddout(output,fno,size)
float *output;
bwipeout(output,fno,size)
float *output;
DESCRIPTION
These routines will read or write a block of samples from or
to the disk. The arrays 'input' and 'output' are in floating point form, even if the disk file is in 16-bit integer
form. 'fno' is the Cmix unit number for the file being
accessed, and 'size' is the total number of samples in the
array. Note that 'size' is NOT the number of samples per
channel, but rather the total number of samples. The routines act like their sample-by-sample namesakes: blayout()
and LAYOUT(), baddout() and ADDOUT(), bwipeout() and
WIPEOUT(). They do not return a value, however, but rather
the named array, loaded with samples, kicked up by 'size'
from the last call. As with the other routines, they are
positioned by setnote() and cleaned up by endnote. They
are considerably faster than these units, however, and
should be used when optimizing code, perhaps in conjunction
with the block unit generators.
