42 /** \defgroup flac_encoder FLAC/ *_encoder.h: encoder interfaces
46 * This module describes the two encoder layers provided by libFLAC.
48 * For encoding FLAC streams, libFLAC provides two layers of access. The
49 * lowest layer is stream-level encoding, and the highest is file-level
50 * encoding. The interfaces are described in the \link flac_stream_encoder
51 * stream encoder \endlink and \link flac_file_encoder file encoder \endlink
52 * modules respectively. Typically you will choose the highest layer that
53 * your output source will support.
55 * The stream encoder relies on callbacks for writing the data and
56 * metadata. The file encoder provides these callbacks internally and you
57 * need only supply the filename.
60 /** \defgroup flac_stream_encoder FLAC/stream_encoder.h: stream encoder interface
61 * \ingroup flac_encoder
64 * This module contains the functions which implement the stream
67 * The basic usage of this encoder is as follows:
68 * - The program creates an instance of an encoder using
69 * FLAC__stream_encoder_new().
70 * - The program overrides the default settings and sets callbacks using
71 * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions.
72 * - The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and
73 * prepare for encoding using FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
74 * - The program calls FLAC__stream_encoder_process() or
75 * FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved() to encode data, which
76 * subsequently calls the callbacks when there is encoder data ready
78 * - The program finishes the encoding with FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(),
79 * which causes the encoder to encode any data still in its input pipe,
80 * call the metadata callback with the final encoding statistics, and
81 * finally reset the encoder to the uninitialized state.
82 * - The instance may be used again or deleted with
83 * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete().
85 * In more detail, the stream encoder functions similarly to the
86 * \link flac_stream_decoder stream decoder \endlink, but has fewer
87 * callbacks and more options. Typically the user will create a new
88 * instance by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_new(), then set the necessary
89 * parameters and callbacks with FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*(), and
90 * initialize it by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
92 * Unlike the decoders, the stream encoder has many options that can
93 * affect the speed and compression ratio. When setting these parameters
94 * you should have some basic knowledge of the format (see the
95 * <A HREF="../documentation.html#format">user-level documentation</A>
96 * or the <A HREF="../format.html">formal description</A>). The
97 * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions themselves do not validate the
98 * values as many are interdependent. The FLAC__stream_encoder_init()
99 * function will do this, so make sure to pay attention to the state
100 * returned by FLAC__stream_encoder_init() to make sure that it is
101 * FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_OK. Any parameters that are not set before
102 * FLAC__stream_encoder_init() will take on the defaults from the
105 * The user must provide function pointers for the following callbacks:
107 * - Write callback - This function is called by the encoder anytime there
108 * is raw encoded data to write. It may include metadata mixed with
109 * encoded audio frames and the data is not guaranteed to be aligned on
110 * frame or metadata block boundaries.
111 * - Metadata callback - This function is called once at the end of
112 * encoding with the populated STREAMINFO structure. This is so file
113 * encoders can seek back to the beginning of the file and write the
114 * STREAMINFO block with the correct statistics after encoding (like
115 * minimum/maximum frame size).
117 * The call to FLAC__stream_encoder_init() currently will also immediately
118 * call the write callback several times, once with the \c fLaC signature,
119 * and once for each encoded metadata block.
121 * After initializing the instance, the user may feed audio data to the
122 * encoder in one of two ways:
124 * - Channel separate, through FLAC__stream_encoder_process() - The user
125 * will pass an array of pointers to buffers, one for each channel, to
126 * the encoder, each of the same length. The samples need not be
128 * - Channel interleaved, through
129 * FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved() - The user will pass a single
130 * pointer to data that is channel-interleaved (i.e. channel0_sample0,
131 * channel1_sample0, ... , channelN_sample0, channel0_sample1, ...).
132 * Again, the samples need not be block-aligned but they must be
133 * sample-aligned, i.e. the first value should be channel0_sample0 and
134 * the last value channelN_sampleM.
136 * When the user is finished encoding data, it calls
137 * FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), which causes the encoder to encode any
138 * data still in its input pipe, and call the metadata callback with the
139 * final encoding statistics. Then the instance may be deleted with
140 * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete() or initialized again to encode another
143 * For programs that write their own metadata, but that do not know the
144 * actual metadata until after encoding, it is advantageous to instruct
145 * the encoder to write a PADDING block of the correct size, so that
146 * instead of rewriting the whole stream after encoding, the program can
147 * just overwrite the PADDING block. If only the maximum size of the
148 * metadata is known, the program can write a slightly larger padding
149 * block, then split it after encoding.
151 * Make sure you understand how lengths are calculated. All FLAC metadata
152 * blocks have a 4 byte header which contains the type and length. This
153 * length does not include the 4 bytes of the header. See the format page
154 * for the specification of metadata blocks and their lengths.
157 * The "set" functions may only be called when the encoder is in the
158 * state FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
159 * FLAC__stream_encoder_new() or FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), but
160 * before FLAC__stream_encoder_init(). If this is the case they will
161 * return \c true, otherwise \c false.
164 * FLAC__stream_encoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor
165 * defaults, including the callbacks.
