GSM 3
NAME
gsm_create, gsm_destroy, gsm_encode, gsm_decode \(em GSM 06.10 lossy sound compression
SYNOPSIS

#include "gsm.h"

gsm gsm_create();

void gsm_encode(handle, src, dst)

gsm handle;

gsm_signal src[160];

gsm_frame dst;

int gsm_decode(handle, src, dst)

gsm handle;

gsm_frame src;

gsm_signal dst[160];

void gsm_destroy(handle)

gsm handle;

"DESCRIPTION"
Gsm is an implementation of the final draft GSM 06.10 standard for full-rate speech transcoding.

gsm_create() initializes a gsm pass and returns a 'gsm' object which can be used as a handle in subsequent calls to gsm_decode(), gsm_encode() or gsm_destroy().

gsm_encode() encodes an array of 160 13-bit samples (given as gsm_signal's, signed integral values of at least 16 bits) into a gsm_frame of 33 bytes. (gsm_frame is a type defined as an array of 33 gsm_bytes in gsm.h.)

gsm_decode() decodes a gsm_frame into an array of 160 13-bit samples (given as gsm_signals), which sound rather like what you handed to gsm_encode() on the other side of the wire.

gsm_destroy() finishes a gsm pass and frees all storage associated with it.

"Sample format"
The following scaling is assumed for input to the algorithm:

 0 1 11 12
 S..v..v..v..v..v..v..v..v..v..v..v..v..*..*..*

Only the top 13 bits are used as a signed input value. The output of gsm_decode() has the three lower bits set to zero. .SH OPTIONS

"RETURN VALUE"
gsm_create() returns an opaque handle object of type gsm, or 0 on error. gsm_decode() returns -1 if the passed frame is invalid, else 0.
EXAMPLE
#include "gsm.h"

gsm handle;
gsm_frame buf;
gsm_signal sample[160];
int cc, soundfd;

play() { /* read compressed data from standard input, write to soundfd */

 if (!(handle = gsm_create())) error...
 while (cc = read(0, (char *)buf, sizeof buf)) {
 if (cc != sizeof buf) error...
 if (gsm_decode(handle, buf, sample) < 0) error... 
 if (write(soundfd, sample, sizeof sample) != sizeof sample)
 error...
 }
 gsm_destroy(handle);
}

record() { /* read from soundfd, write compressed to standard output */

 if (!(handle = gsm_create())) error...
 while (cc = read(soundfd, sample, sizeof sample)) {
 if (cc != sizeof sample) error...
 gsm_encode(handle, sample, buf);
 if (write(1, (char *)buf, sizeof buf) != sizeof sample) 
 error...
 }
 gsm_destroy(handle);
}
