# fini

fini -- Read signals from a file at i-rate.

## Description

Read signals from a file at i-rate.

## Syntax

fini ifilename, iskipframes, iformat, in1 [, in2] [, in3] [, ...]

## 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 - floating points in text format (loop; see below)

- 1 - floating points in text format (no loop; see below)

- 2 - 32 bit floating points in binary format (no loop)

## Performance

fini is the complement of fouti and foutir. It reads the values each time the corresponding instrument note is activated. When iformat is set to 0 and the end of file is reached, the file pointer is zeroed. This restarts the scan from the beginning. When iformat is set to 1 or 2, no looping is enabled and at the end of file the corresponding variables will be filled with zeroes.
