## Detailed Description

This module contains the functions which implement the seekable stream encoder.

The basic usage of this encoder is as follows:

- The program creates an instance of an encoder using FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_new().
- The program overrides the default settings and sets callbacks using FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_set_*() functions.
- The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and prepare for encoding using FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_init().
- The program calls FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process() or FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process_interleaved() to encode data, which subsequently calls the callbacks when there is encoder data ready to be written.
- The program finishes the encoding with FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_finish(), which causes the encoder to encode any data still in its input pipe, rewrite the metadata with the final encoding statistics, and finally reset the encoder to the uninitialized state.
- The instance may be used again or deleted with FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_delete().

The seekable stream encoder is a wrapper around the stream encoder with callbacks for seeking the output. This allows the encoder to go back and rewrite some of the metadata after encoding if necessary, and provides the metadata callback of the stream encoder internally. However, you must provide a seek callback (see FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_set_seek_callback()).

Make sure to read the detailed description of the stream encoder module since the seekable stream encoder inherits much of its behavior.

Note:
  If you are writing the FLAC data to a file, make sure it is open for update (e.g. mode "w+" for stdio streams). This is because after the first encoding pass, the encoder will try to seek back to the beginning of the stream, to the STREAMINFO block, to write some data there.

Note:
  The "set" functions may only be called when the encoder is in the state FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_new() or FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_finish(), but before FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_init(). If this is the case they will return `true`, otherwise `false`.

Note:
  FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor defaults, including the callbacks.

|  | unsigned | num_blocks
| ) |

  | This is inherited from FLAC__StreamEncoder; see FLAC__stream_encoder_set_metadata(). Note: SEEKTABLE blocks are handled specially. Since you will not know the values for the seek point stream offsets, you should pass in a SEEKTABLE 'template', that is, a SEEKTABLE object with the required sample numbers (or placeholder points), with `0` for the frame_samples and stream_offset fields for each point. While encoding, the encoder will fill them in for you and when encoding is finished, it will seek back and write the real values into the SEEKTABLE block in the stream. There are helper routines for manipulating seektable template blocks; see metadata.h: FLAC__metadata_object_seektable_template_*(). Note: The encoder instance will modify the first `SEEKTABLE` block as it transforms the template to a valid seektable while encoding, but it is still up to the caller to free all metadata blocks after encoding. Default Value: `NULL`, 0 Parameters:
  encoder | An encoder instance to set.
  metadata | See above.
  num_blocks | See above.

FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoderState FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_init | ( | FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder * | encoder | ) |

  | Initialize the encoder instance. Should be called after FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_new() and FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_set_*() but before FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process() or FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process_interleaved(). Will set and return the encoder state, which will be FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_OK if initialization succeeded. The call to FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_init() currently will also immediately call the write callback with the `fLaC` signature and all the encoded metadata. Parameters:
  encoder | An uninitialized encoder instance.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL
  Return values:
  FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoderState | `FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_OK` if initialization was successful; see FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoderState for the meanings of other return values.

void FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_finish | ( | FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder * | encoder | ) |

  | Finish the encoding process. Flushes the encoding buffer, releases resources, resets the encoder settings to their defaults, and returns the encoder state to FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED. In the event of a prematurely-terminated encode, it is not strictly necessary to call this immediately before FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_delete() but it is good practice to match every FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_init() with a FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_finish(). Parameters:
  encoder | An uninitialized encoder instance.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL

FLAC__bool FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process | ( | FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder * | encoder,
|  | const FLAC__int32 *const | buffer[],
|  | unsigned | samples
| ) |

  | Submit data for encoding. This is inherited from FLAC__StreamEncoder; see FLAC__stream_encoder_process(). Parameters:
  encoder | An initialized encoder instance in the OK state.
  buffer | An array of pointers to each channel's signal.
  samples | The number of samples in one channel.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL
      FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_get_state(encoder) == FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_OK
  Return values:
  FLAC__bool | `true` if successful, else `false`; in this case, check the encoder state with FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_get_state() to see what went wrong.

FLAC__bool FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process_interleaved | ( | FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder * | encoder,
|  | const FLAC__int32 | buffer[],
|  | unsigned | samples
| ) |

  | Submit data for encoding. This is inherited from FLAC__StreamEncoder; see FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved(). Parameters:
  encoder | An initialized encoder instance in the OK state.
  buffer | An array of channel-interleaved data (see above).
  samples | The number of samples in one channel, the same as for FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process(). For example, if encoding two channels, `1000` samples corresponds to a buffer of 2000 values.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL
      FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_get_state(encoder) == FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_OK
  Return values:
  FLAC__bool | `true` if successful, else `false`; in this case, check the encoder state with FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_get_state() to see what went wrong.
