16<H1>Setup/Teardown</h1> <p>In order to decode audio using
17libvorbisfile, a bitstream containing Vorbis audio must be properly
18initialized before decoding and cleared when decoding is finished.
19The simplest possible case is to use <a
20href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> to open the file for access, check
21it for Vorbis content, and prepare it for playback.  A successful <a
22href="return.html">return code</a> from <a
23href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a> indicates the file is ready for use.
24Once the file is no longer needed, <a
25href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> is used to close the file and
26deallocate decoding resources.<p>
27
28On systems other than Windows<a href="ov_open.html#winfoot">[a]</a>, an
29application may also open a file itself using <tt>fopen()</tt>, then pass the
30<tt>FILE *</tt> to libvorbisfile using <a
31href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>. </b>Do not</b> call
32<tt>fclose()</tt> on a file handle successfully submitted to <a
33href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>; libvorbisfile does this in the <a
34href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear()</a> call.<p>
35
36An application that requires more setup flexibility may open a data
37stream using <a href="ov_open_callbacks.html">ov_open_callbacks()</a>
38to change default libvorbis behavior or specify non-stdio data access
39mechanisms.<p>
40
41<p>
42All libvorbisfile initialization and deallocation routines are declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h".
