<H1>Setup/Teardown</h1> <p>In order to decode audio using
libvorbisfile, a bitstream containing Vorbis audio must be properly
initialized before decoding and cleared when decoding is finished.
The simplest possible case is to use <a
href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> to open the file for access, check
it for Vorbis content, and prepare it for playback. A successful <a
href="../libvorbis/return.html">return code</a> from <a
href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> indicates the file is ready for use.
Once the file is no longer needed, <a
href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> is used to close the file and
deallocate decoding resources.<p>
On systems other than Windows<a href="ov_open.html#winfoot">[a]</a>, an
application may also open a file itself using <tt>fopen()</tt>, then pass the
<tt>FILE *</tt> to libvorbisfile using <a
href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>. </b>Do not</b> call
<tt>fclose()</tt> on a file handle successfully submitted to <a
href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>; libvorbisfile does this in the <a
href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> call.<p>
An application that requires more setup flexibility may open a data
stream using <a href="ov_open_callbacks.html">ov_open_callbacks()</a>
to change default libvorbis behavior or specify non-stdio data access
mechanisms.<p>
<p>
All libvorbisfile initialization and deallocation routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h".
