codec.flac_info

Builtin index · File I/O

result = codec.flac_info(src)

Input: src · Output: result

What it is

Reads a FLAC file's header without decoding any audio, which is how to check a file is what you expect before paying for the samples. src (string path, or Vec of bytes) is the stream.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Code	Input	Output	Description
`result = codec.flac_info(src)`	`src` string or Vecnot documented yet	`fs` Numthe sample rate in Hz `channels` Numhow many channels the stream carries `bits` Numbits per sample `frames` Numor `none` — a FLAC stream is allowed not to declare its length, and `none` says so where `0` would read as an empty file	Returns a `Record` with fields: `fs` (`Num`, the sample rate in Hz), `channels` (`Num`, how many channels the stream carries), `bits` (`Num`, bits per sample), `frames` (`Num`, or `none` — a FLAC stream is allowed not to declare its length, and `none` says so where `0` would read as an empty file).

Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

import codec
info = flac_info(bytes)          # opened by the import

info = codec.flac_info(bytes)    # or qualified
