Detailed Description

This module contains the functions which implement the stream decoder.

The stream decoder can decode native FLAC, and optionally Ogg FLAC (check FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC) streams and files.

The basic usage of this decoder is as follows:

The program creates an instance of a decoder using FLAC__stream_decoder_new().
The program overrides the default settings using FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*() functions.
The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and prepare for decoding using
- FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file() for native FLAC,
- FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_stream() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_FILE() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_file() for Ogg FLAC
The program calls the FLAC__stream_decoder_process_*() functions to decode data, which subsequently calls the callbacks.
The program finishes the decoding with FLAC__stream_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__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 override the default decoder options, and call one of the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() functions.

There are three initialization functions for native FLAC, one for setting up the decoder to decode FLAC data from the client via callbacks, and two for decoding directly from a FLAC file.

For decoding via callbacks, use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream(). You must also supply several callbacks for handling I/O. Some (like seeking) are optional, depending on the capabilities of the input.

For decoding directly from a file, use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file(). Then you must only supply an open FILE* or filename and fewer callbacks; the decoder will handle the other callbacks internally.

There are three similarly-named init functions for decoding from Ogg FLAC streams. Check FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC to find out if the library has been built with Ogg support.

Once the decoder is initialized, your program will call one of several functions to start the decoding process:

FLAC__stream_decoder_process_single() - Tells the decoder to process at most one metadata block or audio frame and return, calling either the metadata callback or write callback, respectively, once. If the decoder loses sync it will return with only the error callback being called.
FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_metadata() - Tells the decoder to process the stream from the current location and stop upon reaching the first audio frame. The client will get one metadata, write, or error callback per metadata block, audio frame, or sync error, respectively.
FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_stream() - Tells the decoder to process the stream from the current location until the read callback returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM or FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_ABORT. The client will get one metadata, write, or error callback per metadata block, audio frame, or sync error, respectively.

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.

Seeking is exposed through the FLAC__stream_decoder_seek_absolute() method. At any point after the stream decoder has been initialized, the client can call this function to seek to an exact sample within the stream. Subsequently, the first time the write callback is called it will be passed a (possibly partial) block starting at that sample.

If the client cannot seek via the callback interface provided, but still has another way of seeking, it can flush the decoder using FLAC__stream_decoder_flush() and start feeding data from the new position through the read callback.

The stream decoder also provides MD5 signature checking. If this is turned on before initialization, FLAC__stream_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 (until the next FLAC__stream_decoder_reset()) if there is no signature in the STREAMINFO block or when a seek is attempted.

The FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_*() functions deserve special attention. By default, the decoder only calls the metadata_callback for the STREAMINFO block. These functions allow you to tell the decoder explicitly which blocks to parse and return via the metadata_callback and/or which to skip. Use a FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_all(), FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_ignore() ... or FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_ignore_all(), FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond() ... sequence to exactly specify which blocks to return. Remember that metadata blocks can potentially be big (for example, cover art) so filtering out the ones you don't use can reduce the memory requirements of the decoder. Also note the special forms FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_application(id) and FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_ignore_application(id) for filtering APPLICATION blocks based on the application ID.

STREAMINFO and SEEKTABLE blocks are always parsed and used internally, but they still can legally be filtered from the metadata_callback.

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 true, otherwise false.; FLAC__stream_decoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor defaults, including the callbacks.

Typedef Documentation

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderEofCallback

typedef FLAC__bool(* FLAC__StreamDecoderEofCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, void *client_data)

Signature for the EOF callback.

A function pointer matching this signature may be passed to FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_stream(). The supplied function will be called when the decoder needs to know if the end of the stream has been reached.

Here is an example of a EOF callback for stdio streams: FLAC__bool eof_cb(const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, void *client_data)

{
  FILE *file = ((MyClientData*)client_data)->file;
  return feof(file)? true : false;
}

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

Return values

FLAC__bool true if the currently at the end of the stream, else false.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorCallback

typedef void(* FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus status, void *client_data)

Signature for the error callback.

A function pointer matching this signature must be passed to one of the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() functions. The supplied function will be called whenever an error occurs during decoding.

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
status	The error encountered by the decoder.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthCallback

typedef FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthStatus(* FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__uint64 *stream_length, void *client_data)

Signature for the length callback.

A function pointer matching this signature may be passed to FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_stream(). The supplied function will be called when the decoder wants to know the total length of the stream in bytes.

Here is an example of a length callback for stdio streams:

FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthStatus length_cb(const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__uint64 *stream_length, void *client_data)
{
  FILE *file = ((MyClientData*)client_data)->file;
  struct stat filestats;
  if(file == stdin)
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_LENGTH_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED;
  else if(fstat(fileno(file), &filestats) != 0)
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_LENGTH_STATUS_ERROR;
  else {
    *stream_length = (FLAC__uint64)filestats.st_size;
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_LENGTH_STATUS_OK;
  }
}

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
stream_length	A pointer to storage for the length of the stream in bytes.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

Return values

FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthStatus The callee's return status.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderMetadataCallback

typedef void(* FLAC__StreamDecoderMetadataCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, const FLAC__StreamMetadata *metadata, void *client_data)

Signature for the metadata callback.

A function pointer matching this signature must be passed to one of the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() functions. The supplied function will be called when the decoder has decoded a metadata block. In a valid FLAC file there will always be one STREAMINFO block, 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.

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
metadata	The decoded metadata block.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderReadCallback

typedef FLAC__StreamDecoderReadStatus(* FLAC__StreamDecoderReadCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__byte buffer[], size_t *bytes, void *client_data)

Signature for the read callback.

A function pointer matching this signature must be passed to FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_stream(). The supplied 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.

Here is an example of a read callback for stdio streams:

FLAC__StreamDecoderReadStatus read_cb(const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__byte buffer[], size_t *bytes, void *client_data)
{
  FILE *file = ((MyClientData*)client_data)->file;
  if(*bytes > 0) {
    *bytes = fread(buffer, sizeof(FLAC__byte), *bytes, file);
    if(ferror(file))
      return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_ABORT;
    else if(*bytes == 0)
      return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM;
    else
      return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_CONTINUE;
  }
  else
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_ABORT;
}

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
buffer	A pointer to a location for the callee to store data to be decoded.
bytes	A pointer to the size of the buffer. On entry to the callback, it contains the maximum number of bytes that may be stored in buffer. The callee must set it to the actual number of bytes stored (0 in case of error or end-of-stream) before returning.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

Return values

FLAC__StreamDecoderReadStatus The callee's return status. Note that the callback should return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM if and only if zero bytes were read and there is no more data to be read.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderSeekCallback

typedef FLAC__StreamDecoderSeekStatus(* FLAC__StreamDecoderSeekCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__uint64 absolute_byte_offset, void *client_data)

Signature for the seek callback.

A function pointer matching this signature may be passed to FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_stream(). The supplied function will be called when the decoder needs to seek the input stream. The decoder will pass the absolute byte offset to seek to, 0 meaning the beginning of the stream.

Here is an example of a seek callback for stdio streams:

FLAC__StreamDecoderSeekStatus seek_cb(const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__uint64 absolute_byte_offset, void *client_data)
{
  FILE *file = ((MyClientData*)client_data)->file;
  if(file == stdin)
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED;
  else if(fseeko(file, (off_t)absolute_byte_offset, SEEK_SET) < 0)
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_ERROR;
  else
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_OK;
}

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
absolute_byte_offset	The offset from the beginning of the stream to seek to.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

Return values

FLAC__StreamDecoderSeekStatus The callee's return status.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderTellCallback

typedef FLAC__StreamDecoderTellStatus(* FLAC__StreamDecoderTellCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__uint64 *absolute_byte_offset, void *client_data)

Signature for the tell callback.

A function pointer matching this signature may be passed to FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_stream(). The supplied function will be called when the decoder wants to know the current position of the stream. The callback should return the byte offset from the beginning of the stream.

Here is an example of a tell callback for stdio streams:

FLAC__StreamDecoderTellStatus tell_cb(const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, FLAC__uint64 *absolute_byte_offset, void *client_data)
{
  FILE *file = ((MyClientData*)client_data)->file;
  off_t pos;
  if(file == stdin)
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_TELL_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED;
  else if((pos = ftello(file)) < 0)
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_TELL_STATUS_ERROR;
  else {
    *absolute_byte_offset = (FLAC__uint64)pos;
    return FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_TELL_STATUS_OK;
  }
}

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
absolute_byte_offset	A pointer to storage for the current offset from the beginning of the stream.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

Return values

FLAC__StreamDecoderTellStatus The callee's return status.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderWriteCallback

typedef FLAC__StreamDecoderWriteStatus(* FLAC__StreamDecoderWriteCallback) (const FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder, const FLAC__Frame *frame, const FLAC__int32 *const buffer[], void *client_data)

Signature for the write callback.

A function pointer matching this signature must be passed to one of the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() functions. The supplied function will be called when the decoder has decoded a single audio frame. The decoder will pass the frame metadata as well as an array of pointers (one for each channel) pointing to the decoded audio.

Note: In general, FLAC__StreamDecoder functions which change the state should not be called on the decoder while in the callback.

Parameters

decoder	The decoder instance calling the callback.
frame	The description of the decoded frame. See FLAC__Frame.
buffer	An array of pointers to decoded channels of data. Each pointer will point to an array of signed samples of length frame->header.blocksize. Channels will be ordered according to the FLAC specification; see the documentation for the frame header.
client_data	The callee's client data set through FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().

Return values

FLAC__StreamDecoderWriteStatus The callee's return status.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus

enum FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus

Possible values passed back to the FLAC__StreamDecoder error callback. FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC is the generic catch- all. The rest could be caused by bad sync (false synchronization on data that is not the start of a frame) or corrupted data. The error itself is the decoder's best guess at what happened assuming a correct sync. For example FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_HEADER could be caused by a correct sync on the start of a frame, but some data in the frame header was corrupted. Or it could be the result of syncing on a point the stream that looked like the starting of a frame but was not. FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM could be because the decoder encountered a valid frame made by a future version of the encoder which it cannot parse, or because of a false sync making it appear as though an encountered frame was generated by a future encoder.

Enumerator
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC	An error in the stream caused the decoder to lose synchronization.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_HEADER	The decoder encountered a corrupted frame header.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_FRAME_CRC_MISMATCH	The frame's data did not match the CRC in the footer.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM	The decoder encountered reserved fields in use in the stream.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderInitStatus

enum FLAC__StreamDecoderInitStatus

Possible return values for the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() functions.

Enumerator
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK	Initialization was successful.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED_CONTAINER	The library was not compiled with support for the given container format.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_INVALID_CALLBACKS	A required callback was not supplied.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR	An error occurred allocating memory.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_ERROR_OPENING_FILE	fopen() failed in FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_file().
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_ALREADY_INITIALIZED	FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() was called when the decoder was already initialized, usually because FLAC__stream_decoder_finish() was not called.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthStatus

enum FLAC__StreamDecoderLengthStatus

Return values for the FLAC__StreamDecoder length callback.

Enumerator
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_LENGTH_STATUS_OK	The length call was OK and decoding can continue.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_LENGTH_STATUS_ERROR	An unrecoverable error occurred. The decoder will return from the process call.

Enumerator
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_CONTINUE	The read was OK and decoding can continue.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM	The read was attempted while at the end of the stream. Note that the client must only return this value when the read callback was called when already at the end of the stream. Otherwise, if the read itself moves to the end of the stream, the client should still return the data and `FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_CONTINUE`, and then on the next read callback it should return `FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM` with a byte count of `0`.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_ABORT	An unrecoverable error occurred. The decoder will return from the process call.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderSeekStatus

Return values for the FLAC__StreamDecoder seek callback.

Enumerator
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_OK	The seek was OK and decoding can continue.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_ERROR	An unrecoverable error occurred. The decoder will return from the process call.
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED	Client does not support seeking.

◆ FLAC__StreamDecoderState

Function Documentation

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_delete()

FLAC_API void FLAC__stream_decoder_delete ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Free a decoder instance. Deletes the object pointed to by decoder.

Parameters

decoder

A pointer to an existing decoder.

decoder != NULL

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_finish()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_finish ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Finish the decoding process. Flushes the decoding buffer, releases resources, resets the decoder settings to their defaults, and returns the decoder state to FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNINITIALIZED.

In the event of a prematurely-terminated decode, it is not strictly necessary to call this immediately before FLAC__stream_decoder_delete() but it is good practice to match every FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() with a FLAC__stream_decoder_finish().

Parameters

decoder

An uninitialized decoder instance.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if MD5 checking is on AND a STREAMINFO block was available AND the MD5 signature in the STREAMINFO block was non-zero AND the signature does not match the one computed by the decoder; else true.

Parameters

decoder

A decoder instance.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool true if successful, else false if a memory allocation error occurs (in which case the state will be set to FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR).

Parameters

decoder	An uninitialized decoder instance.
file	An open FLAC file. The file should have been opened with mode `"rb"` and rewound. The file becomes owned by the decoder and should not be manipulated by the client while decoding. Unless file is `stdin`, it will be closed when FLAC__stream_decoder_finish() is called. Note however that seeking will not work when decoding from `stdout` since it is not seekable.
write_callback	See FLAC__StreamDecoderWriteCallback. This pointer must not be `NULL`.

Return values

FLAC__StreamDecoder* NULL if there was an error allocating memory, else the new instance.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_process_single()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_process_single ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Decode one metadata block or audio frame. This version instructs the decoder to decode a either a single metadata block or a single frame and stop, unless the callbacks return a fatal error or the read callback returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM.

As the decoder needs more input it will call the read callback. Depending on what was decoded, the metadata or write callback will be called with the decoded metadata block or audio frame.

Unless there is a fatal read error or end of stream, this function will return once one whole frame is decoded. In other words, if the stream is not synchronized or points to a corrupt frame header, the decoder will continue to try and resync until it gets to a valid frame, then decode one frame, then return. If the decoder points to a frame whose frame CRC in the frame footer does not match the computed frame CRC, this function will issue a FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_FRAME_CRC_MISMATCH error to the error callback, and return, having decoded one complete, although corrupt, frame. (Such corrupted frames are sent as silence of the correct length to the write callback.)

Parameters

decoder

An initialized decoder instance.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if any fatal read, write, or memory allocation error occurred (meaning decoding must stop), else true; for more information about the decoder, check the decoder state with FLAC__stream_decoder_get_state().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_metadata()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_metadata ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Decode until the end of the metadata. This version instructs the decoder to decode from the current position and continue until all the metadata has been read, or until the callbacks return a fatal error or the read callback returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM.

As the decoder needs more input it will call the read callback. As each metadata block is decoded, the metadata callback will be called with the decoded metadata.

Parameters

decoder

An initialized decoder instance.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if any fatal read, write, or memory allocation error occurred (meaning decoding must stop), else true; for more information about the decoder, check the decoder state with FLAC__stream_decoder_get_state().

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_stream()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_stream ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Decode until the end of the stream. This version instructs the decoder to decode from the current position and continue until the end of stream (the read callback returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM), or until the callbacks return a fatal error.

As the decoder needs more input it will call the read callback. As each metadata block and frame is decoded, the metadata or write callback will be called with the decoded metadata or frame.

Parameters

decoder

An initialized decoder instance.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if any fatal read, write, or memory allocation error occurred (meaning decoding must stop), else true; for more information about the decoder, check the decoder state with FLAC__stream_decoder_get_state().

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_reset()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_reset ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Reset the decoding process. The decoder's input buffer will be cleared and the state set to FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEARCH_FOR_METADATA. This is similar to FLAC__stream_decoder_finish() except that the settings are preserved; there is no need to call FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() before decoding again. MD5 checking will be restored to its original setting.

If the decoder is seekable, or was initialized with FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_FILE() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init*_file(), the decoder will also attempt to seek to the beginning of the file. If this rewind fails, this function will return false. It follows that FLAC__stream_decoder_reset() cannot be used when decoding from stdin.

If the decoder was initialized with FLAC__stream_encoder_init*_stream() and is not seekable (i.e. no seek callback was provided or the seek callback returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED), it is the duty of the client to start feeding data from the beginning of the stream on the next FLAC__stream_decoder_process() or FLAC__stream_decoder_process_interleaved() call.

Parameters

decoder

A decoder instance.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool true if successful, else false if a memory allocation occurs (in which case the state will be set to FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR) or a seek error occurs (the state will be unchanged).

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_seek_absolute()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_seek_absolute	(	FLAC__StreamDecoder *	decoder,
		FLAC__uint64	sample
	)

Flush the input and seek to an absolute sample. Decoding will resume at the given sample. Note that because of this, the next write callback may contain a partial block. The client must support seeking the input or this function will fail and return false. Furthermore, if the decoder state is FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEEK_ERROR, then the decoder must be flushed with FLAC__stream_decoder_flush() or reset with FLAC__stream_decoder_reset() before decoding can continue.

Parameters

decoder	A decoder instance.
sample	The target sample number to seek to. decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool true if successful, else false.

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_set_md5_checking()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_set_md5_checking	(	FLAC__StreamDecoder *	decoder,
		FLAC__bool	value
	)

Set the "MD5 signature checking" flag. If true, the decoder will compute the MD5 signature of the unencoded audio data while decoding and compare it to the signature from the STREAMINFO block, if it exists, during FLAC__stream_decoder_finish().

MD5 signature checking will be turned off (until the next FLAC__stream_decoder_reset()) if there is no signature in the STREAMINFO block or when a seek is attempted.

Clients that do not use the MD5 check should leave this off to speed up decoding.

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_all ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Direct the decoder to pass on all metadata blocks of any type.

By default, only the STREAMINFO block is returned via the metadata callback.

Parameters

decoder

A decoder instance to set.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if the decoder is already initialized, else true.

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_application()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_application	(	FLAC__StreamDecoder *	decoder,
		const FLAC__byte	id[4]
	)

Direct the decoder to pass on all APPLICATION metadata blocks of the given id.

By default, only the STREAMINFO block is returned via the metadata callback.

Parameters

decoder	A decoder instance to set.
id	See above. decoder != NULL id != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if the decoder is already initialized, else true.

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_set_ogg_serial_number()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_set_ogg_serial_number	(	FLAC__StreamDecoder *	decoder,
		long	serial_number
	)

Set the serial number for the FLAC stream within the Ogg container. The default behavior is to use the serial number of the first Ogg page. Setting a serial number here will explicitly specify which stream is to be decoded.

Note: This does not need to be set for native FLAC decoding.

use serial number of first page

Parameters

decoder	A decoder instance to set.
serial_number	See above. decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if the decoder is already initialized, else true.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ FLAC__stream_decoder_skip_single_frame()

FLAC_API FLAC__bool FLAC__stream_decoder_skip_single_frame ( FLAC__StreamDecoder * decoder )

Skip one audio frame. This version instructs the decoder to 'skip' a single frame and stop, unless the callbacks return a fatal error or the read callback returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM.

The decoding flow is the same as what occurs when FLAC__stream_decoder_process_single() is called to process an audio frame, except that this function does not decode the parsed data into PCM or call the write callback. The integrity of the frame is still checked the same way as in the other process functions.

This function will return once one whole frame is skipped, in the same way that FLAC__stream_decoder_process_single() will return once one whole frame is decoded.

This function can be used in more quickly determining FLAC frame boundaries when decoding of the actual data is not needed, for example when an application is separating a FLAC stream into frames for editing or storing in a container. To do this, the application can use FLAC__stream_decoder_skip_single_frame() to quickly advance to the next frame, then use FLAC__stream_decoder_get_decode_position() to find the new frame boundary.

This function should only be called when the stream has advanced past all the metadata, otherwise it will return false.

Parameters

decoder

An initialized decoder instance not in a metadata state.

decoder != NULL

Return values

FLAC__bool false if any fatal read, write, or memory allocation error occurred (meaning decoding must stop), or if the decoder is in the FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_SEARCH_FOR_METADATA or FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_METADATA state, else true; for more information about the decoder, check the decoder state with FLAC__stream_decoder_get_state().
