An enumeration of the possible packet length values.

#### `public bool `[`midi_is_statusbyte`](#group__midi__util_1ga12e3b42ff9cbb4b4f2bc455fc8743ee5)`(uint8_t theByte)` 

Test to see if the byte given is a status byte.

#### Parameters
* `theByte` the byte to test 

#### Returns
true if the byte given is a midi status byte

#### `public bool `[`midi_is_realtime`](#group__midi__util_1gad2f52c363e34a8000d80c983c324e2d7)`(uint8_t theByte)` 

Test to see if the byte given is a realtime message.

#### Parameters
* `theByte` the byte to test 

#### Returns
true if it is a realtime message, false otherwise

#### `public `[`midi_packet_length_t`](.build/docs/internals/undefined.md#group__midi__util_1gae29ff56aee2b430ffe53933b97e5e79e)` `[`midi_packet_length`](#group__midi__util_1gaa168b43af6ae9de0debce1625e4b8175)`(uint8_t status)` 

Find the length of the packet associated with the status byte given.

#### Parameters
* `status` the status byte 

#### Returns
the length of the packet, will return UNDEFINED if the byte is not a status byte or if it is a sysex status byte
