/** \defgroup flac_metadata FLAC/metadata.h: metadata interfaces

 *
 *  \brief
 *  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 native FLAC files.
 *  Note that currently only the Chain interface (level 2) supports Ogg
 *  FLAC files, and it is read-only i.e. no writing back changed
 *  metadata to file.
 *
 *  There are three metadata interfaces of increasing complexity:
 *
 *  Level 0:
 *  Read-only access to the STREAMINFO, VORBIS_COMMENT, CUESHEET, and
 *  PICTURE blocks.
 *
 *  Level 1:
 *  Read-write access to all metadata blocks.  This level is write-
 *  efficient in most cases (more on this below), and uses less memory
 *  than level 2.
 *
 *  Level 2:
 *  Read-write access to all metadata blocks.  This level is write-
 *  efficient in all cases, but uses more memory since all metadata for
 *  the whole file is read into memory and manipulated before writing
 *  out again.
 *
 *  What do we mean by efficient?  Since FLAC metadata appears at the
 *  beginning of the file, when writing metadata back to a FLAC file
 *  it is possible to grow or shrink the metadata such that the entire
 *  file must be rewritten.  However, if the size remains the same during
 *  changes or PADDING blocks are utilized, only the metadata needs to be
 *  overwritten, which is much faster.
 *
 *  Efficient means the whole file is rewritten at most one time, and only
 *  when necessary.  Level 1 is not efficient only in the case that you
 *  cause more than one metadata block to grow or shrink beyond what can
 *  be accomodated by padding.  In this case you should probably use level
 *  2, which allows you to edit all the metadata for a file in memory and
 *  write it out all at once.
 *
 *  All levels know how to skip over and not disturb an ID3v2 tag at the
 *  front of the file.
 *
 *  All levels access files via their filenames.  In addition, level 2
 *  has additional alternative read and write functions that take an I/O
 *  handle and callbacks, for situations where access by filename is not
 *  possible.
 *
 *  In addition to the three interfaces, this module defines functions for
 *  creating and manipulating various metadata objects in memory.  As we see
 *  from the Format module, FLAC metadata blocks in memory are very primitive
 *  structures for storing information in an efficient way.  Reading
 *  information from the structures is easy but creating or modifying them
 *  directly is more complex.  The metadata object routines here facilitate
 *  this by taking care of the consistency and memory management drudgery.
 *
 *  Unless you will be using the level 1 or 2 interfaces to modify existing
 *  metadata however, you will not probably not need these.
 *
 *  From a dependency standpoint, none of the encoders or decoders require
 *  the metadata module.  This is so that embedded users can strip out the
 *  metadata module from libFLAC to reduce the size and complexity.

/** \defgroup flac_metadata_level1 FLAC/metadata.h: metadata level 1 interface
 *  \ingroup flac_metadata
 *
 * \brief
 * The level 1 interface provides read-write access to FLAC file metadata and
 * operates directly on the FLAC file.
 *
 * The general usage of this interface is:
 *
 * - Create an iterator using FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_new()
 * - Attach it to a file using FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_init() and check
 *   the exit code.  Call FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_is_writable() to
 *   see if the file is writable, or only read access is allowed.
 * - Use FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_next() and
 *   FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_prev() to traverse the blocks.
 *   This is does not read the actual blocks themselves.
 *   FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_next() is relatively fast.
 *   FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_prev() is slower since it needs to search
 *   forward from the front of the file.
 * - Use FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_get_block_type() or
 *   FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_get_block() to access the actual data at
 *   the current iterator position.  The returned object is yours to modify
 *   and free.
 * - Use FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_set_block() to write a modified block
 *   back.  You must have write permission to the original file.  Make sure to
 *   read the whole comment to FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_set_block()
 *   below.
 * - Use FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_insert_block_after() to add new blocks.
 *   Use the object creation functions from
 *   \link flac_metadata_object here \endlink to generate new objects.
 * - Use FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_delete_block() to remove the block
 *   currently referred to by the iterator, or replace it with padding.
 * - Destroy the iterator with FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_delete() when
 *   finished.
 *
 * \note
 * The FLAC file remains open the whole time between
 * FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_init() and
 * FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_delete(), so make sure you are not altering
 * the file during this time.
 *
 * \note
 * Do not modify the \a is_last, \a length, or \a type fields of returned
 * FLAC__StreamMetadata objects.  These are managed automatically.
 *
 * \note
 * If any of the modification functions
 * (FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_set_block(),
 * FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_delete_block(),
 * FLAC__metadata_simple_iterator_insert_block_after(), etc.) return \c false,
 * you should delete the iterator as it may no longer be valid.

/** \defgroup flac_metadata_level2 FLAC/metadata.h: metadata level 2 interface
 *  \ingroup flac_metadata
 *
 * \brief
 * The level 2 interface provides read-write access to FLAC file metadata;
 * all metadata is read into memory, operated on in memory, and then written
 * to file, which is more efficient than level 1 when editing multiple blocks.
 *
 * Currently Ogg FLAC is supported for read only, via
 * FLAC__metadata_chain_read_ogg() but a subsequent
 * FLAC__metadata_chain_write() will fail.
 *
 * The general usage of this interface is:
 *
 * - Create a new chain using FLAC__metadata_chain_new().  A chain is a
 *   linked list of FLAC metadata blocks.
 * - Read all metadata into the chain from a FLAC file using
 *   FLAC__metadata_chain_read() or FLAC__metadata_chain_read_ogg() and
 *   check the status.
 * - Optionally, consolidate the padding using
 *   FLAC__metadata_chain_merge_padding() or
 *   FLAC__metadata_chain_sort_padding().
 * - Create a new iterator using FLAC__metadata_iterator_new()
 * - Initialize the iterator to point to the first element in the chain
 *   using FLAC__metadata_iterator_init()
 * - Traverse the chain using FLAC__metadata_iterator_next and
 *   FLAC__metadata_iterator_prev().
 * - Get a block for reading or modification using
 *   FLAC__metadata_iterator_get_block().  The pointer to the object
 *   inside the chain is returned, so the block is yours to modify.
 *   Changes will be reflected in the FLAC file when you write the
 *   chain.  You can also add and delete blocks (see functions below).
 * - When done, write out the chain using FLAC__metadata_chain_write().
 *   Make sure to read the whole comment to the function below.
 * - Delete the chain using FLAC__metadata_chain_delete().
 *
 * \note
 * Even though the FLAC file is not open while the chain is being
 * manipulated, you must not alter the file externally during
 * this time.  The chain assumes the FLAC file will not change
 * between the time of FLAC__metadata_chain_read()/FLAC__metadata_chain_read_ogg()
 * and FLAC__metadata_chain_write().
 *
 * \note
 * Do not modify the is_last, length, or type fields of returned
 * FLAC__StreamMetadata objects.  These are managed automatically.
 *
 * \note
 * The metadata objects returned by FLAC__metadata_iterator_get_block()
 * are owned by the chain; do not FLAC__metadata_object_delete() them.
 * In the same way, blocks passed to FLAC__metadata_iterator_set_block()
 * become owned by the chain and they will be deleted when the chain is
 * deleted.

/** \defgroup flac_metadata_object FLAC/metadata.h: metadata object methods
 *  \ingroup flac_metadata
 *
 * \brief
 * This module contains methods for manipulating FLAC metadata objects.
 *
 * Since many are variable length we have to be careful about the memory
 * management.  We decree that all pointers to data in the object are
 * owned by the object and memory-managed by the object.
 *
 * Use the FLAC__metadata_object_new() and FLAC__metadata_object_delete()
 * functions to create all instances.  When using the
 * FLAC__metadata_object_set_*() functions to set pointers to data, set
 * \a copy to \c true to have the function make it's own copy of the data, or
 * to \c false to give the object ownership of your data.  In the latter case
 * your pointer must be freeable by free() and will be free()d when the object
 * is FLAC__metadata_object_delete()d.  It is legal to pass a null pointer as
 * the data pointer to a FLAC__metadata_object_set_*() function as long as
 * the length argument is 0 and the \a copy argument is \c false.
 *
 * The FLAC__metadata_object_new() and FLAC__metadata_object_clone() function
 * will return \c NULL in the case of a memory allocation error, otherwise a new
 * object.  The FLAC__metadata_object_set_*() functions return \c false in the
 * case of a memory allocation error.
 *
 * We don't have the convenience of C++ here, so note that the library relies
 * on you to keep the types straight.  In other words, if you pass, for
 * example, a FLAC__StreamMetadata* that represents a STREAMINFO block to
 * FLAC__metadata_object_application_set_data(), you will get an assertion
 * failure.
 *
 * For convenience the FLAC__metadata_object_vorbiscomment_*() functions
 * maintain a trailing NUL on each Vorbis comment entry.  This is not counted
 * toward the length or stored in the stream, but it can make working with plain
 * comments (those that don't contain embedded-NULs in the value) easier.
 * Entries passed into these functions have trailing NULs added if missing, and
 * returned entries are guaranteed to have a trailing NUL.
 *
 * The FLAC__metadata_object_vorbiscomment_*() functions that take a Vorbis
 * comment entry/name/value will first validate that it complies with the Vorbis
 * comment specification and return false if it does not.
 *
 * There is no need to recalculate the length field on metadata blocks you
 * have modified.  They will be calculated automatically before they  are
 * written back to a file.
 *
 * \{
