     * \section intro Introduction
     *
     * This is the documentation for the FLAC C and C++ APIs.  It is
     * highly interconnected; this introduction should give you a top
     * level idea of the structure and how to find the information you
     * need.  As a prerequisite you should have at least a basic
     * knowledge of the FLAC format, documented
     * <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/format.html">here</A>.
     *
     * \section c_api FLAC C API
     *
     * The FLAC C API is the interface to libFLAC, a set of structures
     * describing the components of FLAC streams, and functions for
     * encoding and decoding streams, as well as manipulating FLAC
     * metadata in files.  The public include files will be installed
     * in your include area (for example /usr/include/FLAC/...).
     *
     * By writing a little code and linking against libFLAC, it is
     * relatively easy to add FLAC support to another program.  The
     * library is licensed under <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/license.html">Xiph's BSD license</A>.
     * Complete source code of libFLAC as well as the command-line
     * encoder and plugins is available and is a useful source of
     * examples.
     *
     * Aside from encoders and decoders, libFLAC provides a powerful
     * metadata interface for manipulating metadata in FLAC files.  It
     * allows the user to add, delete, and modify FLAC metadata blocks
     * and it can automatically take advantage of PADDING blocks to avoid
     * rewriting the entire FLAC file when changing the size of the
     * metadata.
     *
     * libFLAC usually only requires the standard C library and C math
     * library. In particular, threading is not used so there is no
     * dependency on a thread library. However, libFLAC does not use
     * global variables and should be thread-safe.
     *
     * libFLAC also supports encoding to and decoding from Ogg FLAC.
     * However the metadata editing interfaces currently have limited
     * read-only support for Ogg FLAC files.
     *
     * \section cpp_api FLAC C++ API
     *
     * The FLAC C++ API is a set of classes that encapsulate the
     * structures and functions in libFLAC.  They provide slightly more
     * functionality with respect to metadata but are otherwise
     * equivalent.  For the most part, they share the same usage as
     * their counterparts in libFLAC, and the FLAC C API documentation
     * can be used as a supplement.  The public include files
     * for the C++ API will be installed in your include area (for
     * example /usr/include/FLAC++/...).
     *
     * libFLAC++ is also licensed under
     * <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/license.html">Xiph's BSD license</A>.
     *
     * \section getting_started Getting Started
     *
     * A good starting point for learning the API is to browse through
     * the <A HREF="modules.html">modules</A>.  Modules are logical
     * groupings of related functions or classes, which correspond roughly
     * to header files or sections of header files.  Each module includes a
     * detailed description of the general usage of its functions or
     * classes.
     *
     * From there you can go on to look at the documentation of
     * individual functions.  You can see different views of the individual
     * functions through the links in top bar across this page.
     *
     * If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can jump right to some
     * <A HREF="https://xiph.org/flac/documentation_example_code.html">example code</A>.
     *
     * \section porting_guide Porting Guide
     *
     * Starting with FLAC 1.1.3 a \link porting Porting Guide \endlink
     * has been introduced which gives detailed instructions on how to
     * port your code to newer versions of FLAC.
     *
     * \section embedded_developers Embedded Developers
     *
     * libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been
     * included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded
     * implementation.  Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of
     * src/libFLAC/Makefile.am.  In general, the decoders, encoders, and
     * metadata interface are all independent from each other.
     *
     * It is easiest to just describe the dependencies:
     *
     * - All modules depend on the \link flac_format Format \endlink module.
     * - The decoders and encoders depend on the bitbuffer.
     * - The decoder is independent of the encoder.  The encoder uses the
     *   decoder because of the verify feature, but this can be removed if
     *   not needed.
     * - Parts of the metadata interface require the stream decoder (but not
     *   the encoder).
     * - Ogg support is selectable through the compile time macro
     *   \c FLAC__HAS_OGG.
     *
     * For example, if your application only requires the stream decoder, no
     * encoder, and no metadata interface, you can remove the stream encoder
     * and the metadata interface, which will greatly reduce the size of the
     * library.
     *
     * Also, there are several places in the libFLAC code with comments marked
     * with "OPT:" where a \#define can be changed to enable code that might be
     * faster on a specific platform.  Experimenting with these can yield faster
     * binaries.

    /** \defgroup porting Porting Guide for New Versions
     *
     * This module describes differences in the library interfaces from
     * version to version.  It assists in the porting of code that uses
     * the libraries to newer versions of FLAC.
     *
     * One simple facility for making porting easier that has been added
     * in FLAC 1.1.3 is a set of \#defines in \c export.h of each
     * library's includes (e.g. \c include/FLAC/export.h).  The
     * \#defines mirror the libraries'
     * <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Libtool-versioning">libtool version numbers</A>,
     * e.g. in libFLAC there are \c FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT,
     * \c FLAC_API_VERSION_REVISION, and \c FLAC_API_VERSION_AGE.
     * These can be used to support multiple versions of an API during the
     * transition phase, e.g.
     *
     * \code
     * #if !defined(FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT) || FLAC_API_VERSION_CURRENT <= 7
     *   legacy code
     * #else
     *   new code
     * #endif
     * \endcode
     *
     * The source will work for multiple versions and the legacy code can
     * easily be removed when the transition is complete.
     *
     * Another available symbol is FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC (defined in
     * include/FLAC/export.h), which can be used to determine whether or not
     * the library has been compiled with support for Ogg FLAC.  This is
     * simpler than trying to call an Ogg init function and catching the
     * error.

    /** \defgroup porting_1_1_2_to_1_1_3 Porting from FLAC 1.1.2 to 1.1.3
     *  \ingroup porting
     *
     *  \brief
     *  This module describes porting from FLAC 1.1.2 to FLAC 1.1.3.
     *
     * The main change between the APIs in 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 is that they have
     * been simplified.  First, libOggFLAC has been merged into libFLAC and
     * libOggFLAC++ has been merged into libFLAC++.  Second, both the three
     * decoding layers and three encoding layers have been merged into a
     * single stream decoder and stream encoder.  That is, the functionality
     * of FLAC__SeekableStreamDecoder and FLAC__FileDecoder has been merged
     * into FLAC__StreamDecoder, and FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder and
     * FLAC__FileEncoder into FLAC__StreamEncoder.  Only the
     * FLAC__StreamDecoder and FLAC__StreamEncoder remain.  What this means
     * is there is now a single API that can be used to encode or decode
     * streams to/from native FLAC or Ogg FLAC and the single API can work
     * on both seekable and non-seekable streams.
     *
     * Instead of creating an encoder or decoder of a certain layer, now the
     * client will always create a FLAC__StreamEncoder or
     * FLAC__StreamDecoder.  The old layers are now differentiated by the
     * initialization function.  For example, for the decoder,
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_init() has been replaced by
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream().  This init function takes
     * callbacks for the I/O, and the seeking callbacks are optional.  This
     * allows the client to use the same object for seekable and
     * non-seekable streams.  For decoding a FLAC file directly, the client
     * can use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file() and pass just a filename
     * and fewer callbacks; most of the other callbacks are supplied
     * internally.  For situations where fopen()ing by filename is not
     * possible (e.g. Unicode filenames on Windows) the client can instead
     * open the file itself and supply the FILE* to
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE().  The init functions now returns a
     * FLAC__StreamDecoderInitStatus instead of FLAC__StreamDecoderState.
     * Since the callbacks and client data are now passed to the init
     * function, the FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*_callback() functions and
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_client_data() are no longer needed.  The
     * rest of the calls to the decoder are the same as before.
     *
     * There are counterpart init functions for Ogg FLAC, e.g.
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_stream().  All the rest of the calls
     * and callbacks are the same as for native FLAC.
     *
     * As an example, in FLAC 1.1.2 a seekable stream decoder would have
     * been set up like so:
     *
     * \code
     * FLAC__SeekableStreamDecoder *decoder = FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_new();
     * if(decoder == NULL) do_something;
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_md5_checking(decoder, true);
     * [... other settings ...]
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_read_callback(decoder, my_read_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_seek_callback(decoder, my_seek_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_tell_callback(decoder, my_tell_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_length_callback(decoder, my_length_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_eof_callback(decoder, my_eof_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_write_callback(decoder, my_write_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_metadata_callback(decoder, my_metadata_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_error_callback(decoder, my_error_callback);
     * FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_set_client_data(decoder, my_client_data);
     * if(FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_init(decoder) != FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_DECODER_OK) do_something;
     * \endcode
     *
     * In FLAC 1.1.3 it is like this:
     *
     * \code
     * FLAC__StreamDecoder *decoder = FLAC__stream_decoder_new();
     * if(decoder == NULL) do_something;
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_md5_checking(decoder, true);
     * [... other settings ...]
     * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream(
     *   decoder,
     *   my_read_callback,
     *   my_seek_callback,      // or NULL
     *   my_tell_callback,      // or NULL
     *   my_length_callback,    // or NULL
     *   my_eof_callback,       // or NULL
     *   my_write_callback,
     *   my_metadata_callback,  // or NULL
     *   my_error_callback,
     *   my_client_data
     * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something;
     * \endcode
     *
     * or you could do;
     *
     * \code
     * [...]
     * FILE *file = fopen("somefile.flac","rb");
     * if(file == NULL) do_somthing;
     * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE(
     *   decoder,
     *   file,
     *   my_write_callback,
     *   my_metadata_callback,  // or NULL
     *   my_error_callback,
     *   my_client_data
     * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something;
     * \endcode
     *
     * or just:
     *
     * \code
     * [...]
     * if(FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file(
     *   decoder,
     *   "somefile.flac",
     *   my_write_callback,
     *   my_metadata_callback,  // or NULL
     *   my_error_callback,
     *   my_client_data
     * ) != FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) do_something;
     * \endcode
     *
     * Another small change to the decoder is in how it handles unparseable
     * streams.  Before, when the decoder found an unparseable stream
     * (reserved for when the decoder encounters a stream from a future
     * encoder that it can't parse), it changed the state to
     * \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM.  Now the decoder instead
     * drops sync and calls the error callback with a new error code
     * \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM.  This is
     * more robust.  If your error callback does not discriminate on the the
     * error state, your code does not need to be changed.
     *
     * The encoder now has a new setting:
     * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_apodization().  This is for setting the
     * method used to window the data before LPC analysis.  You only need to
     * add a call to this function if the default is not suitable.   There
     * are also two new convenience functions that may be useful:
     * FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_calculate_cddb_id() and
     * FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet().
     *
     * The \a bytes parameter to FLAC__StreamDecoderReadCallback,
     * FLAC__StreamEncoderReadCallback, and FLAC__StreamEncoderWriteCallback
     * is now \c size_t instead of \c uint32_t.

     *  This module describes porting from FLAC 1.3.4 to FLAC 1.4.0.
     *
     * \section porting_1_3_4_to_1_4_0_summary Summary
     *
     * Between FLAC 1.3.4 and FLAC 1.4.0, there have four breaking changes
     * - the function get_client_data_from_decoder has been renamed to
     *   FLAC__get_decoder_client_data
     * - some data types in the FLAC__Frame struct have changed
     * - all functions resizing metadata blocks now return the object
     *   untouched if memory allocation fails, whereas previously the
     *   handling varied and was more or less undefined
     * - all functions accepting a filename now take UTF-8 encoded filenames
     *   on Windows instead of filenames in the current codepage
     *
     * Furthermore, there have been the following additions
     * - the functions FLAC__stream_encoder_set_limit_min_bitrate,
     *   FLAC__stream_encoder_get_limit_min_bitrate,
     *   FLAC::encoder::file::set_limit_min_bitrate() and
     *   FLAC::encoder::file::get_limit_min_bitrate() have been added
     * - Added FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_METADATA to the
     *   FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus enum
     *
     * \section porting_1_3_4_to_1_4_0_breaking Breaking changes
     *
     * The function \b get_client_data_from_decoder was added in FLAC 1.3.3
     * but did not follow the API naming convention and was not properly
     * exported. The function is now renamed and properly integrated as
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_get_client_data
     *
     * To accomodate encoding and decoding 32-bit int PCM, some data types
     * in the \b FLAC__frame struct were changed. Specifically, warmup
     * in both the FLAC__Subframe_Fixed struc and the FLAC__Subframe_LPC
     * struct is changed from FLAC__int32 to FLAC__int64. Also, value
     * in the FLAC__Subframe_Constant is changed from FLAC__int32 to
     * FLAC__int64. Finally, in FLAC__Subframe_Verbatim struct data is
     * changes from a FLAC__int32 array to a union containing a FLAC__int32
     * array and a FLAC__int64 array. Also, a new member is added,
     * data_type, which clarifies whether the FLAC__int32 or FLAC__int64
     * array is in use.
     *
     * Furthermore, the following functions now return the object untouched
     * if memory allocation fails, whereas previously the handling varied
     * and was more or less undefined
     *
     * - FLAC__metadata_object_seektable_resize_points
     * - FLAC__metadata_object_vorbiscomment_resize_comments
     * - FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_track_resize_indices
     * - FLAC__metadata_object_cuesheet_resize_tracks
     *
     * The last breaking change is that all API functions taking a filename
     * as an argument now, on Windows, must be supplied with that filename
     * in the UTF-8 character encoding instead of using the current code
     * page. libFLAC internally translates these UTF-8 encoded filenames to
     * an appropriate representation to use with _wfopen. On all other
     * systems, filename is passed to fopen without any translation, as it
     * in libFLAC 1.3.4 and earlier.
     *
     * \section porting_1_3_4_to_1_4_0_additions Additions
     *
     * To aid in creating properly streamable FLAC files, a set of functions
     * was added to make it possible to enfore a minimum bitrate to files
     * created through libFLAC's stream_encoder.h interface. With this
     * function enabled the resulting FLAC files have a minimum bitrate of
     * 1bit/sample independent of the number of channels, i.e. 48kbit/s for
     * 48kHz. This can be beneficial for streaming, as very low bitrates for
     * silent sections compressed with 'constant' subframes can result in a
     * bitrate of 1kbit/s, creating problems with clients that aren't aware
     * of this possibility and buffer too much data.
     *
     * Finally, FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_METADATA was added to
     * the FLAC__StreamDecoderErrorStatus enum to signal that the decoder
     * encountered unreadable metadata.

     * Furthermore, there have been the following additions:
     * - the functions FLAC__stream_decoder_set_decode_chained_stream,
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_get_decode_chained_stream,
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_finish_link,
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_skip_single_link,
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_link and
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_get_link_lengths have been added
     *   to support decoding of chained streams
     * - the function FLAC__metadata_chain_write_new_file has been added,
     *   which is useful to combine copying of a file with changing its
     *   metadata
     * - the function FLAC__stream_decoder_find_total_samples was added,
     *   which seeks to the end of a file to find the total number of
     *   samples
     * - the function FLAC__stream_encoder_set_num_threads and
     *   FLAC__stream_encoder_get_num_threads have been added, which
     *   can be used to enable multithreading in the encoder
     *
     * For the C++ API, changes are the same, but in C++ nomenclature
     *
