48  * \section intro Introduction
49  *
50  * This is the documentation for the FLAC C and C++ APIs.  It is
51  * highly interconnected; this introduction should give you a top
52  * level idea of the structure and how to find the information you
53  * need.  As a prerequisite you should have at least a basic
54  * knowledge of the FLAC format, documented
55  * <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/format.html">here</A>.
56  *
57  * \section c_api FLAC C API
58  *
59  * The FLAC C API is the interface to libFLAC, a set of structures
60  * describing the components of FLAC streams, and functions for
61  * encoding and decoding streams, as well as manipulating FLAC
62  * metadata in files.  The public include files will be installed
63  * in your include area (for example /usr/include/FLAC/...).
64  *
65  * By writing a little code and linking against libFLAC, it is
66  * relatively easy to add FLAC support to another program.  The
67  * library is licensed under <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/license.html">Xiph's BSD license</A>.
68  * Complete source code of libFLAC as well as the command-line
69  * encoder and plugins is available and is a useful source of
70  * examples.
71  *
72  * Aside from encoders and decoders, libFLAC provides a powerful
73  * metadata interface for manipulating metadata in FLAC files.  It
74  * allows the user to add, delete, and modify FLAC metadata blocks
75  * and it can automatically take advantage of PADDING blocks to avoid
76  * rewriting the entire FLAC file when changing the size of the
77  * metadata.
78  *
79  * libFLAC usually only requires the standard C library and C math
80  * library. In particular, threading is not used so there is no
81  * dependency on a thread library. However, libFLAC does not use
82  * global variables and should be thread-safe.
83  *
84  * libFLAC also supports encoding to and decoding from Ogg FLAC.
85  * However the metadata editing interfaces currently have limited
86  * read-only support for Ogg FLAC files.
87  *
88  * \section cpp_api FLAC C++ API
89  *
90  * The FLAC C++ API is a set of classes that encapsulate the
91  * structures and functions in libFLAC.  They provide slightly more
92  * functionality with respect to metadata but are otherwise
93  * equivalent.  For the most part, they share the same usage as
94  * their counterparts in libFLAC, and the FLAC C API documentation
95  * can be used as a supplement.  The public include files
96  * for the C++ API will be installed in your include area (for
97  * example /usr/include/FLAC++/...).
98  *
99  * libFLAC++ is also licensed under
100  * <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/license.html">Xiph's BSD license</A>.
101  *
102  * \section getting_started Getting Started
103  *
104  * A good starting point for learning the API is to browse through
105  * the <A HREF="modules.html">modules</A>.  Modules are logical
106  * groupings of related functions or classes, which correspond roughly
107  * to header files or sections of header files.  Each module includes a
108  * detailed description of the general usage of its functions or
109  * classes.
110  *
111  * From there you can go on to look at the documentation of
112  * individual functions.  You can see different views of the individual
113  * functions through the links in top bar across this page.
114  *
115  * If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can jump right to some
116  * <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/documentation_example_code.html">example code</A>.
117  *
118  * \section porting_guide Porting Guide
119  *
120  * Starting with FLAC 1.1.3 a \link porting Porting Guide \endlink
121  * has been introduced which gives detailed instructions on how to
122  * port your code to newer versions of FLAC.
123  *
124  * \section embedded_developers Embedded Developers
125  *
126  * libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been
127  * included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded
128  * implementation.  Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of
129  * src/libFLAC/Makefile.am.  In general, the decoders, encoders, and
130  * metadata interface are all independent from each other.
131  *
132  * It is easiest to just describe the dependencies:
133  *
134  * - All modules depend on the \link flac_format Format \endlink module.
135  * - The decoders and encoders depend on the bitbuffer.
136  * - The decoder is independent of the encoder.  The encoder uses the
137  *   decoder because of the verify feature, but this can be removed if
138  *   not needed.
139  * - Parts of the metadata interface require the stream decoder (but not
140  *   the encoder).
141  * - Ogg support is selectable through the compile time macro
142  *   \c FLAC__HAS_OGG.
143  *
144  * For example, if your application only requires the stream decoder, no
145  * encoder, and no metadata interface, you can remove the stream encoder
146  * and the metadata interface, which will greatly reduce the size of the
147  * library.
148  *
149  * Also, there are several places in the libFLAC code with comments marked
150  * with "OPT:" where a \#define can be changed to enable code that might be
151  * faster on a specific platform.  Experimenting with these can yield faster
152  * binaries.

155 /** \defgroup porting Porting Guide for New Versions
156  *
157  * This module describes differences in the library interfaces from
158  * version to version.  It assists in the porting of code that uses
159  * the libraries to newer versions of FLAC.
160  *
161  * One simple facility for making porting easier that has been added
162  * in FLAC 1.1.3 is a set of \#defines in \c export.h of each
163  * library's includes (e.g. \c include/FLAC/export.h).  The
164  * \#defines mirror the libraries'
165  * <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Libtool-versioning">libtool version numbers</A>,
166  * e.g. in libFLAC there are \c FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT,
167  * \c FLAC_API_VERSION_REVISION, and \c FLAC_API_VERSION_AGE.
168  * These can be used to support multiple versions of an API during the
169  * transition phase, e.g.
170  *
171  * \code
172  * #if !defined(FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT) || FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT <= 7
173  *   legacy code
174  * #else
175  *   new code
176  * #endif
177  * \endcode
178  *
179  * The source will work for multiple versions and the legacy code can
180  * easily be removed when the transition is complete.
181  *
182  * Another available symbol is FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC (defined in
183  * include/FLAC/export.h), which can be used to determine whether or not
184  * the library has been compiled with support for Ogg FLAC.  This is
185  * simpler than trying to call an Ogg init function and catching the
186  * error.

189 /** \defgroup porting_1_1_2_to_1_1_3 Porting from FLAC 1.1.2 to 1.1.3
190  *  \ingroup porting
191  *
192  *  \brief
193  *  This module describes porting from FLAC 1.1.2 to FLAC 1.1.3.
194  *
195  * The main change between the APIs in 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 is that they have
196  * been simplified.  First, libOggFLAC has been merged into libFLAC and
197  * libOggFLAC++ has been merged into libFLAC++.  Second, both the three
198  * decoding layers and three encoding layers have been merged into a
199  * single stream decoder and stream encoder.  That is, the functionality
200  * of FLAC__SeekableStreamDecoder and FLAC__FileDecoder has been merged
201  * into FLAC__StreamDecoder, and FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder and
202  * FLAC__FileEncoder into FLAC__StreamEncoder.  Only the
203  * FLAC__StreamDecoder and FLAC__StreamEncoder remain.  What this means
204  * is there is now a single API that can be used to encode or decode
205  * streams to/from native FLAC or Ogg FLAC and the single API can work
206  * on both seekable and non-seekable streams.
207  *
208  * Instead of creating an encoder or decoder of a certain layer, now the
209  * client will always create a FLAC__StreamEncoder or
210  * FLAC__StreamDecoder.  The old layers are now differentiated by the
211  * initialization function.  For example, for the decoder,
212  * FLAC__stream_decoder_init() has been replaced by
213  * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream().  This init function takes
214  * callbacks for the I/O, and the seeking callbacks are optional.  This
215  * allows the client to use the same object for seekable and
216  * non-seekable streams.  For decoding a FLAC file directly, the client
217  * can use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file() and pass just a filename
218  * and fewer callbacks; most of the other callbacks are supplied
219  * internally.  For situations where fopen()ing by filename is not
220  * possible (e.g. Unicode filenames on Windows) the client can instead
221  * open the file itself and supply the FILE* to
222  * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE().  The init functions now returns a
223  * FLAC__StreamDecoderInitStatus instead of FLAC__StreamDecoderState.
224  * Since the callbacks and client data are now passed to the init
225  * function, the FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*_callback() functions and
226  * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_client_data() are no longer needed.  The
227  * rest of the calls to the decoder are the same as before.
228  *
229  * There are counterpart init functions for Ogg FLAC, e.g.
230  * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_stream().  All the rest of the calls
231  * and callbacks are the same as for native FLAC.
232  *
233  * As an example, in FLAC 1.1.2 a seekable stream decoder would have
234  * been set up like so:
235  *
236  * \code
237  * FLAC__SeekableStreamDecoder *decoder = FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_new();
238  * if(decoder == NULL) do_something;
239  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_md5_checking(decoder, true);
240  * [... other settings ...]
241  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_read_callback(decoder, my_read_callback);
242  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_seek_callback(decoder, my_seek_callback);
243  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_tell_callback(decoder, my_tell_callback);
244  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_length_callback(decoder, my_length_callback);
245  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_eof_callback(decoder, my_eof_callback);
246  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_write_callback(decoder, my_write_callback);
247  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_metadata_callback(decoder, my_metadata_callback);
248  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_error_callback(decoder, my_error_callback);
249  * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_client_data(decoder, my_client_data);
250  * if(FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_init(decoder) != FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_DECODER_OK) do_something;
251  * \endcode
252  *
253  * In FLAC 1.1.3 it is like this:
254  *
255  * \code
256  * FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder = FLAC__stream_decoder_new();
257  * if(decoder == NULL) do_something;
258  * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_md5_checking(decoder, true);
259  * [... other settings ...]
260  * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream(
261  *   decoder,
262  *   my_read_callback,
263  *   my_seek_callback,      // or NULL
264  *   my_tell_callback,      // or NULL
265  *   my_length_callback,    // or NULL
266  *   my_eof_callback,       // or NULL
267  *   my_write_callback,
268  *   my_metadata_callback,  // or NULL
269  *   my_error_callback,
270  *   my_client_data
271  * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something;
272  * \endcode
273  *
274  * or you could do;
275  *
276  * \code
277  * [...]
278  * FILE *file = fopen("somefile.flac","rb");
279  * if(file == NULL) do_somthing;
280  * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE(
281  *   decoder,
282  *   file,
283  *   my_write_callback,
284  *   my_metadata_callback,  // or NULL
285  *   my_error_callback,
286  *   my_client_data
287  * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something;
288  * \endcode
289  *
290  * or just:
291  *
292  * \code
293  * [...]
294  * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file(
295  *   decoder,
296  *   "somefile.flac",
297  *   my_write_callback,
298  *   my_metadata_callback,  // or NULL
299  *   my_error_callback,
300  *   my_client_data
301  * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something;
302  * \endcode
303  *
304  * Another small change to the decoder is in how it handles unparseable
305  * streams.  Before, when the decoder found an unparseable stream
306  * (reserved for when the decoder encounters a stream from a future
307  * encoder that it can't parse), it changed the state to
308  * \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM.  Now the decoder instead
309  * drops sync and calls the error callback with a new error code
310  * \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM.  This is
311  * more robust.  If your error callback does not discriminate on the the
312  * error state, your code does not need to be changed.
313  *
314  * The encoder now has a new setting:
315  * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_apodization().  This is for setting the
316  * method used to window the data before LPC analysis.  You only need to
317  * add a call to this function if the default is not suitable.   There
318  * are also two new convenience functions that may be useful:
319  * FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_calculate_cddb_id() and
320  * FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet().
321  *
322  * The \a bytes parameter to FLAC__StreamDecoderReadCallback,
323  * FLAC__StreamEncoderReadCallback, and FLAC__StreamEncoderWriteCallback
324  * is now \c size_t instead of \c uint32_t.

361  *  \ingroup porting
362  *
363  *  \brief
364  *  This module describes porting from FLAC 1.3.4 to FLAC 1.4.0.
365  *
366  * \section porting_1_3_4_to_1_4_0_summary Summary
367  *
368  * Between FLAC 1.3.4 and FLAC 1.4.0, there have four breaking changes
369  * - the function get_client_data_from_decoder has been renamed to
370  *   FLAC__get_decoder_client_data
371  * - some data types in the FLAC__Frame struct have changed
372  * - all functions resizing metadata blocks now return the object
373  *   untouched if memory allocation fails, whereas previously the
374  *   handling varied and was more or less undefined
375  * - all functions accepting a filename now take UTF-8 encoded filenames
376  *   on Windows instead of filenames in the current codepage
377  *
378  * Furthermore, there have been the following additions
379  * - the functions FLAC__stream_encoder_set_limit_min_bitrate,
380  *   FLAC__stream_encoder_get_limit_min_bitrate,
381  *   FLAC::encoder::file::set_limit_min_bitrate() and
382  *   FLAC::encoder::file::get_limit_min_bitrate() have been added
383  * - Added FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_METADATA to the
384  *   FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus enum
385  *
386  * \section porting_1_3_4_to_1_4_0_breaking Breaking changes
387  *
388  * The function \b get_client_data_from_decoder was added in FLAC 1.3.3
389  * but did not follow the API naming convention and was not properly
390  * exported. The function is now renamed and properly integrated as
391  * FLAC__stream_decoder_get_client_data
392  *
393  * To accomodate encoding and decoding 32-bit int PCM, some data types
394  * in the \b FLAC__frame struct were changed. Specifically, warmup
395  * in both the FLAC__Subframe_Fixed struc and the FLAC__Subframe_LPC
396  * struct is changed from FLAC__int32 to FLAC__int64. Also, value
397  * in the FLAC__Subframe_Constant is changed from FLAC__int32 to
398  * FLAC__int64. Finally, in FLAC__Subframe_Verbatim struct data is
399  * changes from a FLAC__int32 array to a union containing a FLAC__int32
400  * array and a FLAC__int64 array. Also, a new member is added,
401  * data_type, which clarifies whether the FLAC__int32 or FLAC__int64
402  * array is in use.
403  *
404  * Furthermore, the following functions now return the object untouched
405  * if memory allocation fails, whereas previously the handling varied
406  * and was more or less undefined
407  *
408  * - FLAC__metadata_object_seektable_resize_points
409  * - FLAC__metadata_object_vorbiscomment_resize_comments
410  * - FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_track_resize_indices
411  * - FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_resize_tracks
412  *
413  * The last breaking change is that all API functions taking a filename
414  * as an argument now, on Windows, must be supplied with that filename
415  * in the UTF-8 character encoding instead of using the current code
416  * page. libFLAC internally translates these UTF-8 encoded filenames to
417  * an appropriate representation to use with _wfopen. On all other
418  * systems, filename is passed to fopen without any translation, as it
419  * in libFLAC 1.3.4 and earlier.
420  *
421  * \section porting_1_3_4_to_1_4_0_additions Additions
422  *
423  * To aid in creating properly streamable FLAC files, a set of functions
424  * was added to make it possible to enfore a minimum bitrate to files
425  * created through libFLAC's stream_encoder.h interface. With this
426  * function enabled the resulting FLAC files have a minimum bitrate of
427  * 1bit/sample independent of the number of channels, i.e. 48kbit/s for
428  * 48kHz. This can be beneficial for streaming, as very low bitrates for
429  * silent sections compressed with 'constant' subframes can result in a
430  * bitrate of 1kbit/s, creating problems with clients that aren't aware
431  * of this possibility and buffer too much data.
432  *
433  * Finally, FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_METADATA was added to
434  * the FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus enum to signal that the decoder
435  * encountered unreadable metadata.
