# fin

fin -- Read signals from a file at a-rate.

## Description

Read signals from a file at a-rate.

## Syntax

fin ifilename, iskipframes, iformat, ain1 [, ain2] [, ain3] [,...]

## Initialization

ifilename -- input file name (can be a string or a handle number generated by fiopen)

iskipframes -- number of frames to skip at the start (every frame contains a sample of each channel)

iformat -- a number specifying the input file format.

- 0 - 32 bit floating points without header

- 1 - 16 bit integers without header

## Performance

fin (file input) is the complement of fout: it reads a multichannel file to generate audio rate signals. At the present time no header is supported for the file format. The user must be sure that the number of channels of the input file is the same as the number of ainX arguments.
