## Detailed Description

This module contains the functions which implement the file encoder.

The basic usage of this encoder is as follows:

- The program creates an instance of an encoder using FLAC__file_encoder_new().
- The program overrides the default settings using FLAC__file_encoder_set_*() functions.
- The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and prepare for encoding using FLAC__file_encoder_init().
- The program calls FLAC__file_encoder_process() or FLAC__file_encoder_process_interleaved() to encode data, which subsequently writes data to the output file.
- The program finishes the encoding with FLAC__file_encoder_finish(), which causes the encoder to encode any data still in its input pipe, rewind and write the STREAMINFO metadata to file, and finally reset the encoder to the uninitialized state.
- The instance may be used again or deleted with FLAC__file_encoder_delete().

The file encoder is a wrapper around the seekable stream encoder which supplies all callbacks internally; the user need specify only the filename.

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

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

Note:
  FLAC__file_encoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor defaults.

## Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* FLAC__FileEncoderProgressCallback)(const FLAC__FileEncoder *encoder, FLAC__uint64 bytes_written, FLAC__uint64 samples_written, unsigned frames_written, unsigned total_frames_estimate, void *client_data)

  | Signature for the progress callback. See FLAC__file_encoder_set_progress_callback() for more info. Parameters:
  encoder | The encoder instance calling the callback.
  bytes_written | Bytes written so far.

## Enumeration Type Documentation

enum FLAC__FileEncoderState

  | State values for a FLAC__FileEncoder The encoder's state can be obtained by calling FLAC__file_encoder_get_state(). Enumeration values:
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_OK | The encoder is in the normal OK state.
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_NO_FILENAME | FLAC__file_encoder_init() was called without first calling FLAC__file_encoder_set_filename().
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_ERROR | An error occurred in the underlying seekable stream encoder; check FLAC__file_encoder_get_seekable_stream_encoder_state().
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_FATAL_ERROR_WHILE_WRITING | A fatal error occurred while writing to the encoded file.
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_ERROR_OPENING_FILE | An error occurred opening the output file for writing.
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR | Memory allocation failed.
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_ALREADY_INITIALIZED | FLAC__file_encoder_init() was called when the encoder was already initialized, usually because FLAC__file_encoder_finish() was not called.
  FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED | The encoder is in the uninitialized state.

FLAC__uint64 FLAC__file_encoder_get_total_samples_estimate | ( | const FLAC__FileEncoder * | encoder | ) |

  | Get the previously set estimate of the total samples to be encoded. This is inherited from FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder; see FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_get_total_samples_estimate(). Parameters:
  encoder | An encoder instance to query.

      encoder != NULL
  Return values:
  FLAC__uint64 | See FLAC__file_encoder_set_total_samples_estimate().

FLAC__FileEncoderState FLAC__file_encoder_init | ( | FLAC__FileEncoder * | encoder | ) |

  | Initialize the encoder instance. Should be called after FLAC__file_encoder_new() and FLAC__file_encoder_set_*() but before FLAC__file_encoder_process() or FLAC__file_encoder_process_interleaved(). Will set and return the encoder state, which will be FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_OK if initialization succeeded. Parameters:
  encoder | An uninitialized encoder instance.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL
  Return values:
  FLAC__FileEncoderState | `FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_OK` if initialization was successful; see FLAC__FileEncoderState for the meanings of other return values.

void FLAC__file_encoder_finish | ( | FLAC__FileEncoder * | 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__FILE_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED. In the event of a prematurely-terminated encode, it is not strictly necessary to call this immediately before FLAC__file_encoder_delete() but it is good practice to match every FLAC__file_encoder_init() with a FLAC__file_encoder_finish(). Parameters:
  encoder | An uninitialized encoder instance.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL

FLAC__bool FLAC__file_encoder_process | ( | FLAC__FileEncoder * | encoder,
|  | const FLAC__int32 *const | buffer[],
|  | unsigned | samples
| ) |

  | Submit data for encoding. This is inherited from FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder; see FLAC__seekable_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__file_encoder_get_state(encoder) == FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_OK
  Return values:
  FLAC__bool | `true` if successful, else `false`; in this case, check the encoder state with FLAC__file_encoder_get_state() to see what went wrong.

FLAC__bool FLAC__file_encoder_process_interleaved | ( | FLAC__FileEncoder * | encoder,
|  | const FLAC__int32 | buffer[],
|  | unsigned | samples
| ) |

  | Submit data for encoding. This is inherited from FLAC__SeekableStreamEncoder; see FLAC__seekable_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__file_encoder_process(). For example, if encoding two channels, `1000` samples corresponds to a buffer of 2000 values.
  Assertions:
      encoder != NULL
      FLAC__file_encoder_get_state(encoder) == FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_OK
  Return values:
  FLAC__bool | `true` if successful, else `false`; in this case, check the encoder state with FLAC__file_encoder_get_state() to see what went wrong.
