9//! A library for reading, writing, and editing the metadata
10//! of FLAC-formatted audio files.
11//!
12//! # What Is FLAC?
13//!
14//! FLAC is the **F**ree **L**ossless **A**udio **C**odec,
15//! a popular audio codec which losslessly compresses audio
16//! such that the original data can always be restored.
17//!
18//! Its notable qualities include:
19//!
20//! - Broad support on a wide array of players and devices
21//! - A design that allows for extremely fast decoding speed
22//! - Metadata support for text and images (e.g. cover artwork)
23//! - Data integrity checks including checksummed input and hashed output
24//!
25//! # What Can This Crate Do?
26//!
27//! Intended to provide comprehensive support for the FLAC format,
28//! this crate allows the user to:
29//!
30//! - Read and edit FLAC file metadata, via the [`metadata`] module
31//! - Decode FLAC files to PCM samples or bytes, via the [`decode`] module
32//! - Verify FLAC files for correctness via the [`decode::verify`] function
33//! - Encode FLAC files from PCM samples or bytes, via the [`encode`] module
34//! - Analyze the raw structure of FLAC frames, via the [`stream`] module
35//!
36//! It is based heavily on the
37//! [official FLAC specification (RFC 9639)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9639/)
38//! and verified against the
39//! [reference implementation](https://www.xiph.org/flac/index.html).
40//!
41//! Check the `examples/` directory in the source code
42//! repository for several examples of using this crate for common
43//! FLAC management tasks.
