mdTell(3dm)mdTell(3dm)NAME
mdTell, mdTellNow - Return the MIDI port-specific timing information
SYNOPSIS
#include <dmedia/midi.h>
long long mdTell(MDport port)
long long mdTellNow(MDport port)
DESCRIPTIONmdTell returns the relative stamp or tick of the last message sent on
the port.
mdTellNow returns a relative stamp or tick corresponding to the current
time, regardless of when the last event was transmitted.
For both routines, the returned value will be expressed in either ticks
or nanoseconds, depending on whether the stamp mode of the port is a TICK
or STAMP mode (see mdSetStampMode(3dm)). The value will be relative to
the port's origin regardless of whether the stamp mode is DELTA or
RELATIVE.
RETURN VALUE
Both mdTell and mdTellNow return a long long tick or nanosecond value on
success. Both return a -1 if an error occurs.
