NAME
midivartofix
- tclm command that converts a variable length value to a fixed length value
SYNOPSIS
event
DESCRIPTION
is a
tclm(1)
command that
converts a variable length value specified in a Standard
MIDI
File
event to a fixed length value.
This command takes only one argument;
a series of bytes forming a
Standard
MIDI
File variable length value.
Additional bytes are ignored so complete events can be
passed to
to convert the timing portion of the event directly to
a fixed length value.
This argument should be
in tcl list form,
with each value in the list being
one byte of the event.
The event should be surrounded by
either double-quotes or curly braces.
The value of this command has decreased since
release 0.1 and it may disappear in the future.
RETURN VALUES
returns a four byte integer (typically a long in C)
representation of a Standard
MIDI
File
variable length value.
Though a variable length value could represent
a value that would not fit in a long, this
never happens in actual usage.
