roar_str2codec3
Get codec id by codec name roar_codec2str - get codec name by id
Usage
#include <roaraudio.h>
int roar_str2codec (char * codec);
char * roar_codec2str (int codec);
Overview
roar_str2codec converts a string to a RoarAudio Codec ID. It also supports some common aliases. roar_codec2str is the reverse operation of roar_str2codec: It gets a name by the ID given. If a codec is valid the following should be true:
roar_str2codec(roar_codec2str(codec)) == codec
Note that because of aliasing and case insensitivity the revers operation needs not to be true.
Thread safety
Because roar_codec2str returns a static unique pointer for each codec it is fully thread safe.
Return value
On success roar_str2codec returns a codec ID. On error, -1 is returned. roar_codec2str returns the name of the codec or NULL on error. You must not free this pointer or write to it.
