21This partially opens a vorbis file to test for Vorbis-ness.  It loads
22the headers for the first chain and tests for seekability (but does not seek).
23Use <a href="ov_test_open.html">ov_test_open()</a> to finish opening the file
24or <a href="ov_clear.html">ov_clear</a> to close/free it.

27<p><em><b> WARNING for Windows developers: </b> Do not use ov_test()
28in Windows applications; Windows linking places restrictions on
29passing <tt>FILE *</tt> handles successfully, and ov_test() runs afoul
30of these restrictions <a href="#winfoot">[a]</a> in exactly the same
31way as <a href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>.  See the <a
32href="ov_test_callbacks.html">ov_test_callbacks() page </a> for
33details on using <a

47<h3>Parameters</h3>
48<dl>
49<dt><i>f</i></dt>
50<dd>File pointer to an already opened file
51or pipe (it need not be seekable--though this obviously restricts what
52can be done with the bitstream).</dd>
53<dt><i>vf</i></dt>
54<dd>A pointer to the OggVorbis_File structure--this is used for ALL the externally visible libvorbisfile
55functions. Once this has been called, the same <tt>OggVorbis_File</tt>
56struct should be passed to all the libvorbisfile functions.</dd>
57<dt><i>initial</i></dt>
58<dd>Typically set to NULL.  This parameter is useful if some data has already been
59read from the file and the stream is not seekable. It is used in conjunction with <tt>ibytes</tt>.  In this case, <tt>initial</tt>
60should be a pointer to a buffer containing the data read.</dd>
61<dt><i>ibytes</i></dt>
62<dd>Typically set to 0.  This parameter is useful if some data has already been
63read from the file and the stream is not seekable. In this case, <tt>ibytes</tt>
64should contain the length (in bytes) of the buffer.  Used together with <tt>initial</tt></dd>
65</dl>

68<h3>Return Values</h3>
69<blockquote>
70<li>0 for success</li>

73<ul>
74<li>OV_EREAD - A read from media returned an error.</li>
75<li>OV_ENOTVORBIS - Bitstream contains no Vorbis data.</li>
76<li>OV_EVERSION - Vorbis version mismatch.</li>
77<li>OV_EBADHEADER - Invalid Vorbis bitstream header.</li>
78<li>OV_EFAULT - Internal logic fault; indicates a bug or heap/stack corruption.</li>
