# foutk

foutk -- Outputs k-rate signals of an arbitrary number of channels to a specified file.

## Description

foutk outputs N a-rate signals to a specified file of N channels.

## Syntax

foutk ifilename, iformat, kout1 [, kout2, kout3,....,koutN]

## Initialization

ifilename -- the output file's name (in double-quotes).

iformat -- a flag to choose output file format:

- 0 - 32-bit floating point samples without header (binary PCM multichannel file)

- 1 - 16-bit integers without header (binary PCM multichannel file)

- 2 - 16-bit integers with .wav type header (Microsoft WAV mono or stereo file)

## Performance

kout1,...koutN -- control-rate signals to be written to the file

foutk operates in the same way as fout, but with k-rate signals. iformat can be set only to 0 or 1.

Notice that fout and foutk can use either a string containing a file pathname, or a handle-number generated by fiopen. Whereas, with fouti and foutir, the target file can be only specified by means of a handle-number.
