59  *  \brief
60  *  This module contains structure definitions for the representation
61  *  of FLAC format components in memory.  These are the basic
62  *  structures used by the rest of the interfaces.
63  *
64  *  First, you should be familiar with the
65  *  <A HREF="../format.html">FLAC format</A>.  Many of the values here
66  *  follow directly from the specification.  As a user of libFLAC, the
67  *  interesting parts really are the structures that describe the frame
68  *  header and metadata blocks.
69  *
70  *  The format structures here are very primitive, designed to store
71  *  information in an efficient way.  Reading information from the
72  *  structures is easy but creating or modifying them directly is
73  *  more complex.  For the most part, as a user of a library, editing
74  *  is not necessary; however, for metadata blocks it is, so there are
75  *  convenience functions provided in the \link flac_metadata metadata
76  *  module \endlink to simplify the manipulation of metadata blocks.
77  *
78  * \note
79  * It's not the best convention, but symbols ending in _LEN are in bits
80  * and _LENGTH are in bytes.  _LENGTH symbols are \#defines instead of
81  * global variables because they are usually used when declaring byte
82  * arrays and some compilers require compile-time knowledge of array
83  * sizes when declared on the stack.
84  *
