+ * \ingroup flac_decoder
+ *
+ * \brief
+ * This module contains the functions which implement the file
+ * decoder.
+ *
+ * The basic usage of this decoder is as follows:
+ * - The program creates an instance of a decoder using
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_new().
+ * - The program overrides the default settings and sets callbacks for
+ * writing, error reporting, and metadata reporting using
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_set_*() functions.
+ * - The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and
+ * prepare for decoding using FLAC__file_decoder_init().
+ * - The program calls the FLAC__file_decoder_process_*() functions
+ * to decode data, which subsequently calls the callbacks.
+ * - The program finishes the decoding with FLAC__file_decoder_finish(),
+ * which flushes the input and output and resets the decoder to the
+ * uninitialized state.
+ * - The instance may be used again or deleted with
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_delete().
+ *
+ * The file decoder is a trivial wrapper around the
+ * \link flac_seekable_stream_decoder seekable stream decoder \endlink
+ * meant to simplfy the process of decoding from a standard file. The
+ * file decoder supplies all but the Write/Metadata/Error callbacks.
+ * The user needs only to provide the path to the file and the file
+ * decoder handles the rest.
+ *
+ * Like the seekable stream decoder, seeking is exposed through the
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_seek_absolute() method. At any point after the file
+ * decoder has been initialized, the user can call this function to seek to
+ * an exact sample within the file. Subsequently, the first time the write
+ * callback is called it will be passed a (possibly partial) block starting
+ * at that sample.
+ *
+ * The file decoder also inherits MD5 signature checking from the seekable
+ * stream decoder. If this is turned on before initialization,
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_finish() will report when the decoded MD5 signature
+ * does not match the one stored in the STREAMINFO block. MD5 checking is
+ * automatically turned off if there is no signature in the STREAMINFO
+ * block or when a seek is attempted.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * The "set" functions may only be called when the decoder is in the
+ * state FLAC__FILE_DECODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_new() or FLAC__file_decoder_finish(), but
+ * before FLAC__file_decoder_init(). If this is the case they will
+ * return \c true, otherwise \c false.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * FLAC__file_decoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor
+ * defaults, including the callbacks.

+ * - Seek callback - This function will be called when the decoder wants to
+ * seek to an absolute position in the stream.
+ * - Tell callback - This function will be called when the decoder wants to
+ * know the current absolute position of the stream.
+ * - Length callback - This function will be called when the decoder wants
+ * to know length of the stream. The seeking algorithm currently requires
+ * that the overall stream length be known.
+ * - EOF callback - This function will be called when the decoder wants to
+ * know if it is at the end of the stream. This could be synthesized from
+ * the tell and length callbacks but it may be more expensive that way, so
+ * there is a separate callback for it.
+ *

+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*() functions.

+ * which flushes the input and output and resets the decoder to the
+ * uninitialized state.
+ * - The instance may be used again or deleted with
+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_delete().
+ *
+ * In more detail, the program will create a new instance by calling
+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_new(), then call FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*()
+ * functions to set the callbacks and client data, and call
+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_init(). The required callbacks are:
+ *
+ * - Read callback - This function will be called when the decoder needs
+ * more input data. The address of the buffer to be filled is supplied,
+ * along with the number of bytes the buffer can hold. The callback may
+ * choose to supply less data and modify the byte count but must be careful
+ * not to overflow the buffer. The callback then returns a status code
+ * chosen from FLAC__StreamDecoderReadStatus.
+ * - Write callback - This function will be called when the decoder has
+ * decoded a single frame of data. The decoder will pass the frame
+ * metadata as well as an array of pointers (one for each channel)
+ * pointing to the decoded audio.
+ * - Metadata callback - This function will be called when the decoder has
+ * decoded a metadata block. There will always be one STREAMINFO block
+ * per stream, followed by zero or more other metadata blocks. These will
+ * be supplied by the decoder in the same order as they appear in the
+ * stream and always before the first audio frame (i.e. write callback).
+ * The metadata block that is passed in must not be modified, and it
+ * doesn't live beyond the callback, so you should make a copy of it with
+ * FLAC__metadata_object_clone() if you will need it elsewhere. Since
+ * metadata blocks can potentially be large, by default the decoder only
+ * calls the metadata callback for the STREAMINFO block; you can instruct
+ * the decoder to pass or filter other blocks with
+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_*() calls.
+ * - Error callback - This function will be called whenever an error occurs
+ * during decoding.
+ *
+ * Once the decoder is initialized, your program will call one of several
+ * functions to start the decoding process:
+ *
+ * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_whole_stream() - Tells the decoder to
+ * start and continue processing the stream until the read callback
+ * returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_END_OF_STREAM or
+ * FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_ABORT.
+ * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_metadata() - Tells the decoder to start
+ * processing the stream and stop upon reaching the first audio frame.
+ * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_one_frame() - Tells the decoder to
+ * process one audio frame and return. The decoder must have processed
+ * all metadata first before calling this function.
+ * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_remaining_frames() - Tells the decoder to
+ * process all remaining frames. The decoder must have processed all
+ * metadata first but may also have processed frames with
+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_process_one_frame().
+ *
+ * When the decoder has finished decoding (normally or through an abort),
+ * the instance is finished by calling FLAC__stream_decoder_finish(), which
+ * ensures the decoder is in the correct state and frees memory. Then the
+ * instance may be deleted with FLAC__stream_decoder_delete() or initialized
+ * again to decode another stream.
+ *
+ * Note that the stream decoder has no real concept of stream position, it
+ * just converts data. To seek within a stream the callbacks have only to
+ * flush the decoder using FLAC__stream_decoder_flush() and start feeding
+ * data from the new position through the read callback. The seekable
+ * stream decoder does just this.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * The "set" functions may only be called when the decoder is in the
+ * state FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
+ * FLAC__stream_decoder_new() or FLAC__stream_decoder_finish(), but
+ * before FLAC__stream_decoder_init(). If this is the case they will
+ * return \c true, otherwise \c false.

+ *
* \brief
* This module contains the functions which implement the stream
* encoder.
*
- * The basic usage of a libFLAC encoder is as follows:
+ * The basic usage of this encoder is as follows:
* - The program creates an instance of an encoder using
* FLAC__stream_encoder_new().
* - The program overrides the default settings and sets callbacks for
- * reading, writing, error reporting, and metadata reporting using
+ * writing and metadata reporting using
* FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions.
* - The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and
- * prepare for encoding using FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
+ * prepare for encoding using FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
* - The program calls FLAC__stream_encoder_process() or
* FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved() to encode data, which
- * subsequently calls the callbacks.
- * - The program finishes the instance with FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(),
- * which flushes the input and output and resets the encoder to the
- * unitialized state.
+ * subsequently calls the callbacks when there is encoder data ready
+ * to be written.
+ * - The program finishes the encoding with FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(),
+ * which causes the encoder to encode any data still in its input pipe,
+ * call the metadata callback with the final encoding statistics, and
+ * finally reset the encoder to the uninitialized state.
* - The instance may be used again or deleted with
- * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete().
- *
- * \note
- * The "set" functions may only be called when the encoder is in the
- * state FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
- * FLAC__stream_encoder_new() or FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), but
- * before FLAC__stream_encoder_init(). If this is the case they will
- * return true, otherwise false.
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete().
*
- * \note
- * The "set" functions do not validate the values as many are
- * interdependent. The FLAC__stream_encoder_init() function will do
- * this, so make sure to pay attention to the state returned by
- * FLAC__stream_encoder_init() to make sure that it is
- * FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_OK.
+ * In more detail, the stream encoder functions similarly to the
+ * \link flac_stream_decoder stream decoder \endlink, but has fewer
+ * callbacks and more options. Typically the user will create a new
+ * instance by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_new(), then set the necessary
+ * parameters and callbacks with FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*(), and
+ * initialize it by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
*
- * \note
* Unlike the decoders, the stream encoder has many options that can
* affect the speed and compression ratio. When setting these parameters
* you should have some basic knowledge of the format (see the
* <A HREF="../documentation.html#format">user-level documentation</A>
- * or the <A HREF="../format.html">formal description</A>).
+ * or the <A HREF="../format.html">formal description</A>). The
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions themselves do not validate the
+ * values as many are interdependent. The FLAC__stream_encoder_init()
+ * function will do this, so make sure to pay attention to the state
+ * returned by FLAC__stream_encoder_init() to make sure that it is
+ * FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_OK. Any parameters that are not set before
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_init() will take on the defaults from the
+ * constructor.
+ *
+ * The user must provide function pointers for the following callbacks:
+ *
+ * - Write callback - This function is called by the encoder anytime there
+ * is raw encoded data to write. It may include metadata mixed with
+ * encoded audio frames and the data is not guaranteed to be aligned on
+ * frame or metadata block boundaries.
+ * - Metadata callback - This function is called once at the end of
+ * encoding with the populated STREAMINFO structure. This is so file
+ * encoders can seek back to the beginning of the file and write the
+ * STREAMINFO block with the correct statistics after encoding (like
+ * minimum/maximum frame size).
+ *
+ * The call to FLAC__stream_encoder_init() currently will also immediately
+ * call the write callback with the \c fLaC signature and all the encoded
+ * metadata.
+ *
+ * After initializing the instance, the user may feed audio data to the
+ * encoder in one of two ways:
+ *
+ * - Channel separate, through FLAC__stream_encoder_process() - The user
+ * will pass an array of pointers to buffers, one for each channel, to
+ * the encoder, each of the same length. The samples need not be
+ * block-aligned.
+ * - Channel interleaved, through
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved() - The user will pass a single
+ * pointer to data that is channel-interleaved (i.e. channel0_sample0,
+ * channel1_sample0, ... , channelN_sample0, channel0_sample1, ...).
+ * Again, the samples need not be block-aligned but they must be
+ * sample-aligned, i.e. the first value should be channel0_sample0 and
+ * the last value channelN_sampleM.
+ *
+ * When the user is finished encoding data, it calls
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), which causes the encoder to encode any
+ * data still in its input pipe, and call the metadata callback with the
+ * final encoding statistics. Then the instance may be deleted with
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete() or initialized again to encode another
+ * stream.
+ *
+ * For programs that write their own metadata, but that do not know the
+ * actual metadata until after encoding, it is advantageous to instruct
+ * the encoder to write a PADDING block of the correct size, so that
+ * instead of rewriting the whole stream after encoding, the program can
+ * just overwrite the PADDING block. If only the maximum size of the
+ * metadata is known, the program can write a slightly larger padding
+ * block, then split it after encoding.
+ *
+ * Make sure you understand how lengths are calculated. All FLAC metadata
+ * blocks have a 4 byte header which contains the type and length. This
+ * length does not include the 4 bytes of the header. See the format page
+ * for the specification of metadata blocks and their lengths.
*
* \note
- * Any parameters that are not set before FLAC__stream_encoder_init()
- * will take on the defaults from the constructor.
+ * The "set" functions may only be called when the encoder is in the
+ * state FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_new() or FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), but
+ * before FLAC__stream_encoder_init(). If this is the case they will
+ * return \c true, otherwise \c false.
*
* \note
* FLAC__stream_encoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor
* defaults, including the callbacks.
