mdPrintEvent(3dm)                                            mdPrintEvent(3dm)


NAME
     mdPrintEvent - Generate a descriptive string for MIDI events

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/midi.h>

     int mdPrintEvent(char *buf, MDevent *evbuf, int count)


DESCRIPTION
     mdPrintEvent can be used to format events in a buffer for printing.  buf
     is a user allocated character into which the formatted string will be
     written.  evbuf points to the array MDevents whose descriptions are to be
     generated, and count indicates how many of the events should be
     described.

     In order to avoid overflowing buf, the programmer should insure that the
     buffer can accomodate 80 bytes of description per message.

     The message format is:

     timestamp : channel : status type (string) : byte 1 : byte 2

     If the message is a note on or note off, the note name (eg A3) is printed
     in the field occupied by byte 1.  Otherwise, the numeric value is
     printed.

RETURN VALUE
     mdPrintEvent return -1 on error, 0 on success.
