Format

The file formats this library reads and writes.

Symbols in this group are spelled otio_format_…. An SDK drops that prefix, which is why the name beside each call is the short one.

from_suffix

constructormay answer nothing

Returns the format that claims a filename suffix, such as `"edl"`.

The suffix is matched without its dot and without regard to case. Reports `OTIO_STATUS_NO_VALUE` for a suffix no format claims.

A build for WebAssembly, which has no file system, claims neither `otioz` nor `otiod`, since it cannot read or write either.

OtioStatus otio_format_from_suffix(
    const char *suffix,
    OtioFormat *out_format,
    OtioBuffer *out_error);

Parameter	Type	Role
suffix	text	input
out_format	OtioFormat	written through, not read
out_error	text	why the call failed, or null to skip it

getter

Returns an adapter's name, as upstream's plugin manifest spells it.

The string is static and needs no freeing.

const char *otio_format_name(OtioFormat format);

Parameter	Type	Role
format	OtioFormat	what the call is about
