16 <H1>Setup/Teardown</h1> <p>In order to decode audio using
17 libvorbisfile, a bitstream containing Vorbis audio must be properly
18 initialized before decoding and cleared when decoding is finished.
19 The simplest possible case is to use <tt>fopen()</tt> to open a Vorbis
20 file and then pass the <tt>FILE *</tt> to an <a
21 href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a> call. A successful <a
22 href="return.html">return code</a> from <a
23 href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a> indicates the file is ready for use.
24 Once the file is no longer needed, <a
25 href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> is used to close the file and
26 deallocate decoding resources. </b>Do not</b> call <tt>fclose()</tt> on the
27 file; libvorbisfile does this in the <a
28 href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> call.
31 All libvorbisfile initialization and deallocation routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h".
