mdGetName(3dm)                                                  mdGetName(3dm)


NAME
     mdGetName - return a MIDI interface name

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/midi.h>

     char *mdGetName(int index)

DESCRIPTION
     mdGetName returns a pointer to the interface name associated with index.
     If index does not correspond to a configured MIDI interface, mdGetName
     returns NULL.  The range of valid values for index is dynamic and extends
     from 0 to one less than number of configured interfaces (which is
     returned by mdInit(3dm)).

     The return value of mdGetName can be used as an argument for any routines
     which expect an interface name, such as mdOpenInPort(3dm) and
     mdOpenOutPort(3dm).  This routine is also commonly used to build menus or
     lists of available ports.


RETURN VALUE
     mdGetName returns a pointer to an internal data structure.  The
     application must not alter or free the string.
