Note:: Unless specified, all functions assume Big-Endian ordering of data in the bitstream.

Function Documentation

GF_BitStream* gf_bs_new	(	const char *	buffer,
		u64	size,
		u32	mode
	)

Constructs a bitstream from a buffer (read or write mode)

Parameters:

buffer	buffer to read or write. In WRITE mode, this can be NULL to let the bitstream object dynamically allocate memory, in which case the size param is ignored.
size	size of the buffer given.
mode	operation mode for this bitstream: GF_BITSTREAM_READ for read, GF_BITSTREAM_WRITE for write.

Returns:: new bitstream object

Note:: In write mode on an existing data buffer, data overflow is never signaled but simply ignored, it is the caller responsability to ensure it does not write more than possible.

GF_BitStream* gf_bs_from_file	(	FILE *	f,
		u32	mode
	)

Creates a bitstream from a file handle.

Parameters:

f	handle of the file to use. This handle must be created with binary mode.
mode	operation mode for this bitstream: GF_BITSTREAM_READ for read, GF_BITSTREAM_WRITE for write.

Returns:: new bitstream object

Note:

- You have to open your file in the appropriated mode:

GF_BITSTREAM_READ: bitstream is constructed for reading
GF_BITSTREAM_WRITE: bitstream is constructed for writing

- you may use any of these modes for a file with read/write access.

Warning:: RESULTS ARE UNEXPECTED IF YOU TOUCH THE FILE WHILE USING THE BITSTREAM.
