Rust FFI bindings to the libFLAC library

This crate provides raw FFI bindings to the libFLAC library for reading and writing losslessly compressed FLAC audio files.

• Crate: https://crates.io/crates/libflac-sys
• Documentation: https://docs.rs/libflac-sys

Following the *-sys package conventions, the libflac-sys crate does not define higher-level abstractions over the native libFLAC library functions.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
libflac-sys = "0.3"

Features

• build-flac (enabled by default): build libFLAC instead of linking to the system library – cmake and a C toolchain is required

• build-ogg (enabled by default, implies build-flac): build support for FLAC data in OGG containers into libFLAC; if build-flac is not selected, support for OGG containers depends on the configuration of the system libFLAC

Auto-generating the Rust bindings

The Rust bindings have already been auto-generated with bindgen (using the bindgen/run-bindgen.sh script) and are part of this crate (see src/bindings.rs).
