# FLAC C API

## Modules
FLAC/format.h: format components
| This module contains structure definitions for the representation of FLAC format components in memory. These are the basic structures used by the rest of the interfaces.

FLAC/metadata.h: metadata interfaces
| This module provides functions for creating and manipulating FLAC metadata blocks in memory, and three progressively more powerful interfaces for traversing and editing metadata in FLAC files.

FLAC/_decoder.h: decoder interfaces
| This module describes the three decoder layers provided by libFLAC.

FLAC/_encoder.h: encoder interfaces
| This module describes the two encoder layers provided by libFLAC.

## Detailed Description

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.

You should start with the format components as all other modules are dependent on it.
