     57  *  \brief
     58  *  This module contains structure definitions for the representation
     59  *  of FLAC format components in memory.  These are the basic
     60  *  structures used by the rest of the interfaces.
     61  *
     62  *  First, you should be familiar with the
     63  *  <A HREF="../format.html">FLAC format</A>.  Many of the values here
     64  *  follow directly from the specification.  As a user of libFLAC, the
     65  *  interesting parts really are the structures that describe the frame
     66  *  header and metadata blocks.
     67  *
     68  *  The format structures here are very primitive, designed to store
     69  *  information in an efficient way.  Reading information from the
     70  *  structures is easy but creating or modifying them directly is
     71  *  more complex.  For the most part, as a user of a library, editing
     72  *  is not necessary; however, for metadata blocks it is, so there are
     73  *  convenience functions provided in the \link flac_metadata metadata
     74  *  module \endlink to simplify the manipulation of metadata blocks.
     75  *
     76  * \note
     77  * It's not the best convention, but symbols ending in _LEN are in bits
     78  * and _LENGTH are in bytes.  _LENGTH symbols are \#defines instead of
     79  * global variables because they are usually used when declaring byte
     80  * arrays and some compilers require compile-time knowledge of array
     81  * sizes when declared on the stack.
     82  *
