## Detailed Description

The liboggz C API.

## Generic semantics

All access is managed via an OGGZ handle. This can be instantiated in one of three ways:

- oggz_open() - Open a full pathname
- oggz_open_stdio() - Use an already opened FILE *
- oggz_new() - Create an anonymous OGGZ object, which you can later handle via memory buffers

To finish using an OGGZ handle, it should be closed with oggz_close().

## Reading Ogg data

To read from Ogg files or streams you must instantiate an OGGZ handle with flags set to OGGZ_READ, and provide an OggzReadPacket callback with oggz_set_read_callback(). See the Oggz Read API section for details.

## Writing Ogg data

To write to Ogg files or streams you must instantiate an OGGZ handle with flags set to OGGZ_WRITE, and provide an OggzWritePacket callback with oggz_set_write_callback(). See the Oggz Write API section for details.

## Seeking on Ogg data

To seek while reading Ogg files or streams you must instantiate an OGGZ handle for reading, and ensure that an OggzMetric function is defined to translate packet positions into units such as time. See the Oggz Seek API section for details.

## Overriding the IO methods

When an OGGZ handle is instantiated by oggz_open() or oggz_open_stdio(), Oggz uses stdio functions internally to access the raw data. However for some applications, the raw data cannot be accessed via stdio -- this commonly occurs when integrating with media frameworks. For such applications, you can provide Oggz with custom IO methods that it should use to access the raw data. Oggz will then use these custom methods, rather than using stdio methods, to access the raw data internally.

For details, see <oggz/oggz_io.h> .

## Headers

oggz.h provides direct access to libogg types such as ogg_packet, defined in <ogg/ogg.h>.

## Typedef Documentation

typedef void OGGZ

An opaque handle to an Ogg file.

This is returned by oggz_open() or oggz_new(), and is passed to all other oggz_* functions.

## Function Documentation

int oggz_close | ( | OGGZ * | oggz | ) |

Close an OGGZ handle.

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle

Return values:

  | 0 | Success
  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_OGGZ | oggz does not refer to an existing OGGZ
  | OGGZ_ERR_SYSTEM | System error; check errno for details

const char* oggz_content_type | ( | OggzStreamContent | content | ) |

Return human-readable string representation of a content type.

Return values:

  | string | the name of the content type
  | NULL | content invalid

int oggz_flush | ( | OGGZ * | oggz | ) |

Ensure any associated io streams are flushed.

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle

Return values:

  | 0 | Success
  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_OGGZ | oggz does not refer to an existing OGGZ
  | OGGZ_ERR_INVALID | Operation not suitable for this OGGZ
  | OGGZ_ERR_SYSTEM | System error; check errno for details

int oggz_get_bos | ( | OGGZ * | oggz,
|  | long | serialno |
| ) |  |  |

Determine if a given logical bitstream is at bos (beginning of stream).

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle
  | serialno | Identify a logical bitstream within oggz, or -1 to query if all logical bitstreams in oggz are at bos

Return values:

  | 1 | The given stream is at bos
  | 0 | The given stream is not at bos
  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_SERIALNO | serialno does not identify an existing logical bitstream in oggz.

int oggz_get_eos | ( | OGGZ * | oggz,
|  | long | serialno |
| ) |  |  |

Determine if a given logical bitstream is at eos (end of stream).

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle
  | serialno | Identify a logical bitstream within oggz, or -1 to query if all logical bitstreams in oggz are at eos

Return values:

  | 1 | The given stream is at eos
  | 0 | The given stream is not at eos
  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_SERIALNO | serialno does not identify an existing logical bitstream in oggz.

int oggz_get_numtracks | ( | OGGZ * | oggz | ) |

Query the number of tracks (logical bitstreams).

When reading, this number is incremented every time a new track is found, so the returned value is only correct once the OGGZ is no longer at bos (beginning of stream): see oggz_get_bos() for determining this.

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle

Returns:
  The number of tracks in OGGZ

Return values:

  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_SERIALNO | serialno does not identify an existing logical bitstream in oggz.

OGGZ* oggz_new | ( | int | flags | ) |

Create a new OGGZ object.

Parameters:

  | flags | OGGZ_READ or OGGZ_WRITE

Returns:
  A new OGGZ object

Return values:

  | NULL | on system error; check errno for details

OGGZ* oggz_open | ( | const char * | filename,
|  | int | flags |
| ) |  |  |

Open an Ogg file, creating an OGGZ handle for it.

Parameters:

  | filename | The file to open
  | flags | OGGZ_READ or OGGZ_WRITE

Returns:
  A new OGGZ handle

Return values:

  | NULL | System error; check errno for details

OGGZ* oggz_open_stdio | ( | FILE * | file,
|  | int | flags |
| ) |  |  |

Create an OGGZ handle associated with a stdio stream.

Parameters:

  | file | An open FILE handle
  | flags | OGGZ_READ or OGGZ_WRITE

Returns:
  A new OGGZ handle

Return values:

  | NULL | System error; check errno for details

long oggz_run | ( | OGGZ * | oggz | ) |

Run an OGGZ until completion, or error.

This is a convenience function which repeatedly calls oggz_read() or oggz_write() as appropriate. For an OGGZ opened for reading, an OggzReadPacket or OggzReadPage callback should have been set before calling this function. For an OGGZ opened for writing, either an OggzHungry callback should have been set before calling this function, or you can use this function to write out all unwritten Ogg pages which are pending.

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle previously opened for either reading or writing

Return values:

  | 0 | Success
  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_OGGZ | oggz does not refer to an existing OGGZ
  | OGGZ_ERR_INVALID | Operation not suitable for this OGGZ
  | OGGZ_ERR_SYSTEM | System error; check errno for details
  | OGGZ_ERR_STOP_OK | Operation was stopped by a user callback returning OGGZ_STOP_OK
  | OGGZ_ERR_STOP_ERR | Operation was stopped by a user callback returning OGGZ_STOP_ERR
  | OGGZ_ERR_RECURSIVE_WRITE | Attempt to initiate writing from within an OggzHungry callback

int oggz_run_set_blocksize | ( | OGGZ * | oggz,
|  | long | blocksize |
| ) |  |  |

Set the blocksize to use internally for oggz_run().

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle previously opened for either reading or writing
  | blocksize | The blocksize to use within oggz_run()

Return values:

  | 0 | Success
  | OGGZ_ERR_BAD_OGGZ | oggz does not refer to an existing OGGZ
  | OGGZ_ERR_INVALID | Invalid blocksize (run_blocksize <= 0)

long oggz_serialno_new | ( | OGGZ * | oggz | ) |

Request a new serialno, as required for a new stream, ensuring the serialno is not yet used for any other streams managed by this OGGZ.

Parameters:

  | oggz | An OGGZ handle

Returns:
  A new serialno, not already occuring in any logical bitstreams in oggz.
