- <h1>ov_open</h1>
- <p><i>declared in "ivorbisfile.h";</i></p>
- <p>This is the main function used to open and initialize an OggVorbis_File
- structure. It sets up all the related decoding structure.
- <p>The first argument must be a file pointer to an already opened file
- or pipe (it need not be seekable--though this obviously restricts what
- can be done with the bitstream). <tt>vf</tt> should be a pointer to the
- OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible libvorbisidec
- functions. Once this has been called, the same <a href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a>
- struct should be passed to all the libvorbisidec functions.
- <p>Also, you should be aware that ov_open(), once successful, takes complete possession of the file resource. After you have opened a file using ov_open(), you MUST close it using <a href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a>, not fclose() or any other function.
- <p>
- It is often useful to call <tt>ov_open()</tt>
- simply to determine whether a given file is a vorbis bitstream. If the
- <tt>ov_open()</tt>
- call fails, then the file is not recognizable as such.
- When you use <tt>ov_open()
- </tt>for
- this, you should <tt>fclose()</tt> the file pointer if, and only if, the
- <tt>ov_open()</tt>
- call fails. If it succeeds, you must call <a href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> to clear
- the decoder's buffers and close the file for you.<p>
- (Note that <a href="ov_test.html">ov_test()</a> provides a less expensive way to test a file for Vorbisness.)<p>

- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <dl>
- <dt><i>f</i></dt>
- <dd>File pointer to an already opened file
- or pipe (it need not be seekable--though this obviously restricts what
- can be done with the bitstream).</dd>
- <dt><i>vf</i></dt>
- <dd>A pointer to the OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible libvorbisidec
- functions. Once this has been called, the same <tt>OggVorbis_File</tt>
- struct should be passed to all the libvorbisidec functions.</dd>
- <dt><i>initial</i></dt>
- <dd>Typically set to NULL. This parameter is useful if some data has already been
- read from the file and the stream is not seekable. It is used in conjunction with <tt>ibytes</tt>. In this case, <tt>initial</tt>
- should be a pointer to a buffer containing the data read.</dd>
- <dt><i>ibytes</i></dt>
- <dd>Typically set to 0. This parameter is useful if some data has already been
- read from the file and the stream is not seekable. In this case, <tt>ibytes</tt>
- should contain the length (in bytes) of the buffer. Used together with <tt>initial</tt></dd>
- </dl>
- <h3>Return Values</h3>
- <blockquote>
- <li>0 indicates success</li>
- <li>less than zero for failure:</li>
- <ul>
- <li>OV_EREAD - A read from media returned an error.</li>
- <li>OV_ENOTVORBIS - Bitstream is not Vorbis data.</li>
- <li>OV_EVERSION - Vorbis version mismatch.</li>
- <li>OV_EBADHEADER - Invalid Vorbis bitstream header.</li>
- <li>OV_EFAULT - Internal logic fault; indicates a bug or heap/stack corruption.</li>
- </ul>
- </blockquote>
- <p>
- <h3>Notes</h3>
- <p>If your decoder is threaded, it is recommended that you NOT call
- <tt>ov_open()</tt>
- in the main control thread--instead, call <tt>ov_open()</tt> IN your decode/playback
- thread. This is important because <tt>ov_open()</tt> may be a fairly time-consuming
- call, given that the full structure of the file is determined at this point,
- which may require reading large parts of the file under certain circumstances
- (determining all the logical bitstreams in one physical bitstream, for
- example). See <a href="threads.html">Thread Safety</a> for other information on using libvorbisidec with threads.
