# slow5_aux_meta_add_enum
## NAME
slow5_aux_meta_add_enum - write a `SLOW5_ENUM` field as an auxiliary field in the SLOW5 header.
## SYNOPSYS
`int slow5_aux_meta_add_enum(struct slow5_aux_meta *aux_meta, const char *attr, enum slow5_aux_type type, const char **enum_labels, uint8_t enum_num_labels)`
## DESCRIPTION
`slow5_aux_meta_add_enum()` writes a *slow5_aux_type* `SLOW5_ENUM` to *aux_meta* with the attribute name *attr*. The label names and the number of labels are passed using *enum_labels* and *enum_num_labels* arguments respectively.
## RETURN VALUE
Return values are listed below. They might change in the future.
* `0` - success
* `-1` - null input
* `-2` - other failure
* `-3` - use slow5_aux_meta_add instead if type is not SLOW5_ENUM or SLOW5_ENUM_ARRAY
* `-4` - bad enum_labels not good c labels
## NOTES
The return values might change in the future.
## EXAMPLES
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <slow5/slow5.h>
#define FILE_PATH "examples/example.slow5"
int main(){
slow5_file_t *sp = slow5_open(FILE_PATH,"r");
if(sp==NULL){
fprintf(stderr,"Error in opening file\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
slow5_file_t *sp_w = slow5_init_empty("write.slow5", user_opts.arg_fname_out, SLOW5_FORMAT_ASCII);
int ret0 = slow5_hdr_initialize(sp_w->header, 0);
if(ret<0){
fprintf(stderr,"could not initialize header");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
slow5_aux_meta_t* aux_ptr = sp->header->aux_meta;
uint32_t num_aux_attrs = aux_ptr->num;
int aux_add_fail = 0;
for(uint32_t r=0; r<num_aux_attrs; r++){
if(aux_ptr->types[r]==SLOW5_ENUM || aux_ptr->types[r]==SLOW5_ENUM_ARRAY){
uint8_t n;
const char **enum_labels = (const char** )slow5_get_aux_enum_labels(slow5File_i->header, aux_ptr->attrs[r], &n);
if(!enum_labels){
aux_add_fail = 1;
}else{
if(slow5_aux_meta_add_enum(sp_w->header->aux_meta, aux_ptr->attrs[r], aux_ptr->types[r], enum_labels, n)){
aux_add_fail = 1;
}
}
}
if(aux_add_fail){
fprintf(stderr,"Could not initialize the record attribute '%s'", aux_ptr->attrs[r]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
slow5_close(sp_w);
slow5_close(sp);
}
```
