(This function is part of SDL_mixer, a separate library from SDL.)

Mix_GetNumChunkDecoders

Get a list of chunk decoders that this build of SDL_mixer provides.

Header File

Syntax

int Mix_GetNumChunkDecoders(void);

Return Value

(int) Returns number of chunk decoders available.

Remarks

This list can change between builds AND runs of the program, if external libraries that add functionality become available. You must successfully call Mix_OpenAudio() or Mix_OpenAudioDevice() before calling this function, as decoders are activated at device open time.

Appearing in this list doesn't promise your specific audio file will decode...but it's handy to know if you have, say, a functioning Ogg Vorbis install.

These return values are static, read-only data; do not modify or free it. The pointers remain valid until you call Mix_CloseAudio().

Version

This function is available since SDL_mixer 2.0.0.

Code Examples

int i;
const int total = Mix_GetNumChunkDecoders();
for (i = 0; i < total; i++) {
    printf("Supported chunk decoder: [%s]\n", Mix_GetChunkDecoder(i));
}
