cannam@86 16 <H1>Setup/Teardown</h1> <p>In order to decode audio using
cannam@86 17 libvorbisfile, a bitstream containing Vorbis audio must be properly
cannam@86 18 initialized before decoding and cleared when decoding is finished.
cannam@86 19 The simplest possible case is to use <a
cannam@86 20 href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> to open the file for access, check
cannam@86 21 it for Vorbis content, and prepare it for playback. A successful <a
cannam@86 22 href="../libvorbis/return.html">return code</a> from <a
cannam@86 23 href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> indicates the file is ready for use.
cannam@86 24 Once the file is no longer needed, <a
cannam@86 25 href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> is used to close the file and
cannam@86 26 deallocate decoding resources.<p>
cannam@86 27
cannam@86 28 On systems other than Windows<a href="ov_open.html#winfoot">[a]</a>, an
cannam@86 29 application may also open a file itself using <tt>fopen()</tt>, then pass the
cannam@86 30 <tt>FILE *</tt> to libvorbisfile using <a
cannam@86 31 href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>. </b>Do not</b> call
cannam@86 32 <tt>fclose()</tt> on a file handle successfully submitted to <a
cannam@86 33 href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>; libvorbisfile does this in the <a
cannam@86 34 href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> call.<p>
cannam@86 35
cannam@86 36 An application that requires more setup flexibility may open a data
cannam@86 37 stream using <a href="ov_open_callbacks.html">ov_open_callbacks()</a>
cannam@86 38 to change default libvorbis behavior or specify non-stdio data access
cannam@86 39 mechanisms.<p>
cannam@86 40
cannam@86 41 <p>
cannam@86 42 All libvorbisfile initialization and deallocation routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h".
