Implementation of C++ to read the header data of WAV audio files

Implementation of C++ to read the header data of WAV audio files

Preface:

Here to share 1 of their own experience, hope to share with you 1 technology, if you have any shortcomings, please correct. Writing this article, I hope you can grow up together. I also believe that there is no high or low technology, only complementary, only sharing, to make each other more growth.

Implementation code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
 
using namespace std;
using std::string;
using std::fstream;

  char        fmt[4];     // FMT header    
  unsigned long    Subchunk1Size; // Size of the fmt chunk                
  unsigned short   AudioFormat;  // Audio format 1=PCM,6=mulaw,7=alaw, 257=IBM Mu-Law, 258=IBM A-Law, 259=ADPCM 
  unsigned short   NumOfChan;   // Number of channels 1=Mono 2=Sterio
