cannam@86 17
cannam@86 18 <p><i>declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h";</i></p>
cannam@86 19
cannam@86 20 <p>This is an alternative function used to open and initialize an
cannam@86 21 OggVorbis_File structure when using a data source other than a file,
cannam@86 22 when its necessary to modify default file access behavior, or to
cannam@86 23 initialize a Vorbis decode from a <tt>FILE *</tt> pointer under
cannam@86 24 Windows where <a href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a> cannot be used. It
cannam@86 25 allows the application to specify custom file manipulation routines
cannam@86 26 and sets up all the related decoding structures.
cannam@86 27
cannam@86 28 <p>Once ov_open_callbacks() has been called, the same
cannam@86 29 <tt>OggVorbis_File</tt> struct should be passed to all the
cannam@86 30 libvorbisfile functions. Unlike <a
cannam@86 31 href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> and <a
cannam@86 32 href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>, ov_open_callbacks() may be used to
cannam@86 33 instruct vorbisfile to either automatically close or not to close the
cannam@86 34 file/data access handle in <a href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a>.
cannam@86 35 Automatic closure is disabled by passing NULL as the close callback,
cannam@86 36 or using one of the predefined callback sets that specify a NULL close
cannam@86 37 callback. The application is responsible for closing a file when a
cannam@86 38 call to ov_open_callbacks() is unsuccessful.<p>

cannam@86 41 information on designing and specifying custom callback functions.<p>

cannam@86 54 <h3>Parameters</h3>
cannam@86 55 <dl>
cannam@86 56 <dt><i>datasource</i></dt>
cannam@86 57 <dd>Pointer to a data structure allocated by the calling application, containing any state needed by the callbacks provided.</dd>
cannam@86 58 <dt><i>vf</i></dt>
cannam@86 59 <dd>A pointer to the OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible libvorbisfile
cannam@86 60 functions. Once this has been called, the same <tt>OggVorbis_File</tt>
cannam@86 61 struct should be passed to all the libvorbisfile functions.</dd>
cannam@86 62 <dt><i>initial</i></dt>
cannam@86 63 <dd>Typically set to NULL. This parameter is useful if some data has already been
cannam@86 64 read from the stream and the stream is not seekable. It is used in conjunction with <tt>ibytes</tt>. In this case, <tt>initial</tt>
cannam@86 65 should be a pointer to a buffer containing the data read.</dd>
cannam@86 66 <dt><i>ibytes</i></dt>
cannam@86 67 <dd>Typically set to 0. This parameter is useful if some data has already been
cannam@86 68 read from the stream and the stream is not seekable. In this case, <tt>ibytes</tt>
cannam@86 69 should contain the length (in bytes) of the buffer. Used together with <tt>initial</tt>.</dd>
cannam@86 70 <dt><i>callbacks</i></dt>
cannam@86 71 <dd>A completed <a href="ov_callbacks.html">ov_callbacks</a> struct which indicates desired custom file manipulation routines. vorbisfile.h defines several preprovided callback sets; see <a href="ov_callbacks.html">ov_callbacks</a> for details.</dd>

cannam@86 75 <h3>Return Values</h3>
cannam@86 76 <blockquote>
cannam@86 77 <li>0 for success</li>
cannam@86 78 <li>less than zero for failure:</li>
cannam@86 79 <ul>
cannam@86 80 <li>OV_EREAD - A read from media returned an error.</li>
cannam@86 81 <li>OV_ENOTVORBIS - Bitstream does not contain any Vorbis data.</li>

cannam@86 83 <li>OV_EBADHEADER - Invalid Vorbis bitstream header.</li>
cannam@86 84 <li>OV_EFAULT - Internal logic fault; indicates a bug or heap/stack corruption.</li>

cannam@86 90 <dl>
cannam@86 91
cannam@86 92 <dt><b>[a] Windows and use as an ov_open() substitute</b><p> Windows
cannam@86 93 applications should not use <a href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a> due
cannam@86 94 to the likelihood of <a href="ov_open.html#winfoot">CRT linking
cannam@86 95 mismatches and runtime protection faults
cannam@86 96 [ov_open:a]</a>. ov_open_callbacks() is a safe substitute; specifically:
cannam@86 97
cannam@86 98 <pre><tt>ov_open_callbacks(f, vf, initial, ibytes, OV_CALLBACKS_DEFAULT);</tt>
cannam@86 99 </pre>
cannam@86 100
cannam@86 101 ... provides exactly the same functionality as <a
cannam@86 102 href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a> but will always work correctly under
cannam@86 103 Windows, regardless of linking setup details.<p>
cannam@86 104
cannam@86 105 <dt><b>[b] Threaded decode</b><p>
cannam@86 106 <dd>If your decoder is threaded, it is recommended that you NOT call
cannam@86 107 <tt>ov_open_callbacks()</tt>
cannam@86 108 in the main control thread--instead, call <tt>ov_open_callbacks()</tt> in your decode/playback
cannam@86 109 thread. This is important because <tt>ov_open_callbacks()</tt> may be a fairly time-consuming
cannam@86 110 call, given that the full structure of the file is determined at this point,
cannam@86 111 which may require reading large parts of the file under certain circumstances
cannam@86 112 (determining all the logical bitstreams in one physical bitstream, for
cannam@86 113 example). See <a href="threads.html">Thread Safety</a> for other information on using libvorbisfile with threads.
cannam@86 114 <p>
cannam@86 115
cannam@86 116 <dt><b>[c] Mixed media streams</b><p>
cannam@86 117 <dd>
cannam@86 118 As of Vorbisfile release 1.2.0, Vorbisfile is able to access the
cannam@86 119 Vorbis content in mixed-media Ogg streams, not just Vorbis-only
cannam@86 120 streams. For example, Vorbisfile may be used to open and access the
cannam@86 121 audio from an Ogg stream consisting of Theora video and Vorbis audio.
cannam@86 122 Vorbisfile 1.2.0 decodes the first logical audio stream of each
cannam@86 123 physical stream section.<p>
cannam@86 124
cannam@86 125 <dt><b>[d] Faster testing for Vorbis files</b><p>
cannam@86 126 <dd><a href="ov_test.html">ov_test()</a> and <a
cannam@86 127 href="ov_test_callbacks.html">ov_test_callbacks()</a> provide less
cannam@86 128 computationally expensive ways to test a file for Vorbisness, but
cannam@86 129 require more setup code.<p>
