It is * highly interconnected; this introduction should give you a top * level idea of the structure and how to find the information you * need. As a prerequisite you should have at least a basic * knowledge of the FLAC format, documented * <A HREF="../format.html">here</A>. * * \section c_api FLAC C API * * The FLAC C API is the interface to libFLAC, a set of structures * describing the components of FLAC streams, and functions for * encoding and decoding streams, as well as manipulating FLAC * metadata in files. The public include files will be installed * in your include area (for example /usr/include/FLAC/...). * * By writing a little code and linking against libFLAC, it is * relatively easy to add FLAC support to another program. The * library is licensed under <A HREF="../license.html">Xiph's BSD license</A>. * Complete source code of libFLAC as well as the command-line * encoder and plugins is available and is a useful source of * examples. * * Aside from encoders and decoders, libFLAC provides a powerful * metadata interface for manipulating metadata in FLAC files. It * allows the user to add, delete, and modify FLAC metadata blocks * and it can automatically take advantage of PADDING blocks to avoid * rewriting the entire FLAC file when changing the size of the * metadata. * * libFLAC usually only requires the standard C library and C math * library. In particular, threading is not used so there is no * dependency on a thread library. However, libFLAC does not use * global variables and should be thread-safe. * * libFLAC also supports encoding to and decoding from Ogg FLAC. * However the metadata editing interfaces currently have limited * read-only support for Ogg FLAC files. * * \section cpp_api FLAC C++ API * * The FLAC C++ API is a set of classes that encapsulate the * structures and functions in libFLAC. They provide slightly more * functionality with respect to metadata but are otherwise * equivalent. For the most part, they share the same usage as * their counterparts in libFLAC, and the FLAC C API documentation * can be used as a supplement. The public include files * for the C++ API will be installed in your include area (for * example /usr/include/FLAC++/...). * * libFLAC++ is also licensed under * <A HREF="../license.html">Xiph's BSD license</A>. * * \section getting_started Getting Started * * A good starting point for learning the API is to browse through * the <A HREF="modules.html">modules</A>. Modules are logical * groupings of related functions or classes, which correspond roughly * to header files or sections of header files. Each module includes a * detailed description of the general usage of its functions or * classes. * * From there you can go on to look at the documentation of * individual functions. You can see different views of the individual * functions through the links in top bar across this page. * * If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can jump right to some * <A HREF="../documentation_example_code.html">example code</A>. * * \section porting_guide Porting Guide * * Starting with FLAC 1.1.3 a \link porting Porting Guide \endlink * has been introduced which gives detailed instructions on how to * port your code to newer versions of FLAC. * * \section embedded_developers Embedded Developers * * libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been * included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded * implementation. Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of * src/libFLAC/Makefile.am. In general, the decoders, encoders, and * metadata interface are all independent from each other. * * It is easiest to just describe the dependencies: * * - All modules depend on the \link flac_format Format \endlink module. * - The decoders and encoders depend on the bitbuffer. * - The decoder is independent of the encoder. The encoder uses the * decoder because of the verify feature, but this can be removed if * not needed. * - Parts of the metadata interface require the stream decoder (but not * the encoder). * - Ogg support is selectable through the compile time macro * \c FLAC__HAS_OGG. * * For example, if your application only requires the stream decoder, no * encoder, and no metadata interface, you can remove the stream encoder * and the metadata interface, which will greatly reduce the size of the * library. * * Also, there are several places in the libFLAC code with comments marked * with "OPT:" where a #define can be changed to enable code that might be * faster on a specific platform. Experimenting with these can yield faster * binaries. */ /** \defgroup porting Porting Guide for New Versions * * This module describes differences in the library interfaces from * version to version. It assists in the porting of code that uses * the libraries to newer versions of FLAC. * * One simple facility for making porting easier that has been added * in FLAC 1.1.3 is a set of \c #defines in \c export.h of each * library's includes (e.g. \c include/FLAC/export.h). The * \c #defines mirror the libraries' * <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Libtool-versioning">libtool version numbers</A>, * e.g. in libFLAC there are \c FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT, * \c FLAC_API_VERSION_REVISION, and \c FLAC_API_VERSION_AGE. * These can be used to support multiple versions of an API during the * transition phase, e.g. * * \code * #if !defined(FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT) || FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT <= 7 * legacy code * #else * new code * #endif * \endcode * * The source will work for multiple versions and the legacy code can * easily be removed when the transition is complete. * * Another available symbol is FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC (defined in * include/FLAC/export.h), which can be used to determine whether or not * the library has been compiled with support for Ogg FLAC. This is * simpler than trying to call an Ogg init function and catching the * error. */ /** \defgroup porting_1_1_2_to_1_1_3 Porting from FLAC 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 * \ingroup porting * * \brief * This module describes porting from FLAC 1.1.2 to FLAC 1.1.3. * * The main change between the APIs in 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 is that they have * been simplified. First, libOggFLAC has been merged into libFLAC and * libOggFLAC++ has been merged into libFLAC++. Second, both the three * decoding layers and three encoding layers have been merged into a * single stream decoder and stream encoder. That is, the functionality * of FLAC__SeekableStreamDecoder and FLAC__FileDecoder has been merged * into FLAC__StreamDecoder, and FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder and * FLAC__FileEncoder into FLAC__StreamEncoder. Only the * FLAC__StreamDecoder and FLAC__StreamEncoder remain. What this means * is there is now a single API that can be used to encode or decode * streams to/from native FLAC or Ogg FLAC and the single API can work * on both seekable and non-seekable streams. * * Instead of creating an encoder or decoder of a certain layer, now the * client will always create a FLAC__StreamEncoder or * FLAC__StreamDecoder. The old layers are now differentiated by the * initialization function. For example, for the decoder, * FLAC__stream_decoder_init() has been replaced by * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream(). This init function takes * callbacks for the I/O, and the seeking callbacks are optional. This * allows the client to use the same object for seekable and * non-seekable streams. For decoding a FLAC file directly, the client * can use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file() and pass just a filename * and fewer callbacks; most of the other callbacks are supplied * internally. For situations where fopen()ing by filename is not * possible (e.g. Unicode filenames on Windows) the client can instead * open the file itself and supply the FILE* to * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE(). The init functions now returns a * FLAC__StreamDecoderInitStatus instead of FLAC__StreamDecoderState. * Since the callbacks and client data are now passed to the init * function, the FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*_callback() functions and * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_client_data() are no longer needed. The * rest of the calls to the decoder are the same as before. * * There are counterpart init functions for Ogg FLAC, e.g. * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_stream(). All the rest of the calls * and callbacks are the same as for native FLAC. * * As an example, in FLAC 1.1.2 a seekable stream decoder would have * been set up like so: * * \code * FLAC__SeekableStreamDecoder *decoder = FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_new(); * if(decoder == NULL) do_something; * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_md5_checking(decoder, true); * [... other settings ...] * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_read_callback(decoder, my_read_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_seek_callback(decoder, my_seek_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_tell_callback(decoder, my_tell_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_length_callback(decoder, my_length_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_eof_callback(decoder, my_eof_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_write_callback(decoder, my_write_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_metadata_callback(decoder, my_metadata_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_error_callback(decoder, my_error_callback); * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_client_data(decoder, my_client_data); * if(FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_init(decoder) != FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_DECODER_OK) do_something; * \endcode * * In FLAC 1.1.3 it is like this: * * \code * FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder = FLAC__stream_decoder_new(); * if(decoder == NULL) do_something; * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_md5_checking(decoder, true); * [... other settings ...] * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream( * decoder, * my_read_callback, * my_seek_callback, // or NULL * my_tell_callback, // or NULL * my_length_callback, // or NULL * my_eof_callback, // or NULL * my_write_callback, * my_metadata_callback, // or NULL * my_error_callback, * my_client_data * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something; * \endcode * * or you could do; * * \code * [...] * FILE *file = fopen("somefile.flac","rb"); * if(file == NULL) do_somthing; * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE( * decoder, * file, * my_write_callback, * my_metadata_callback, // or NULL * my_error_callback, * my_client_data * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something; * \endcode * * or just: * * \code * [...] * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file( * decoder, * "somefile.flac", * my_write_callback, * my_metadata_callback, // or NULL * my_error_callback, * my_client_data * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something; * \endcode * * Another small change to the decoder is in how it handles unparseable * streams. Before, when the decoder found an unparseable stream * (reserved for when the decoder encounters a stream from a future * encoder that it can't parse), it changed the state to * \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM. Now the decoder instead * drops sync and calls the error callback with a new error code * \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM. This is * more robust. If your error callback does not discriminate on the the * error state, your code does not need to be changed. * * The encoder now has a new setting: * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_apodization(). This is for setting the * method used to window the data before LPC analysis. You only need to * add a call to this function if the default is not suitable. There * are also two new convenience functions that may be useful: * FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_calculate_cddb_id() and * FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet(). * * The \a bytes parameter to FLAC__StreamDecoderReadCallback, * FLAC__StreamEncoderReadCallback, and FLAC__StreamEncoderWriteCallback * is now \c size_t instead of \c unsigned. */ /** \defgroup porting_1_1_3_to_1_1_4 Porting from FLAC 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 * \ingroup porting * * \brief * This module describes porting from FLAC 1.1.3 to FLAC 1.1.4. * * There were no changes to any of the interfaces from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. * There was a slight change in the implementation of * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_metadata(); the function now makes a copy * of the \a metadata array of pointers so the client no longer needs * to maintain it after the call.
