## Topics

### Flags

[`dontPageAlignAudioData`](/documentation/AudioToolbox/AudioFileFlags/dontPageAlignAudioData)

Typically, the audio data in a file is page aligned. To make reading the file data as fast as possible, you can use page-aligned data to take advantage of optimized code paths in the file system. However, when space is at a premium, you might want to avoid the additional padding required to attain alignment. To do so, set this flag when calling [`AudioFileCreate`](/documentation/AudioToolbox/AudioFileCreate) or [`AudioFileCreateWithURL(_:_:_:_:_:)`](/documentation/AudioToolbox/AudioFileCreateWithURL(_:_:_:_:_:)).

[`eraseFile`](/documentation/AudioToolbox/AudioFileFlags/eraseFile)
