Several decompression parameters +can be adjusted by the class \fIoptions\fP (see +fiasco_d_options_new(3)). + +The individual frames of a FIASCO video can be decompressed by calling +successively either function \fBfiasco_decoder_write_frame()\fP or +\fBfiasco_decoder_get_frame()\fP. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_write_frame()\fP decompresses the +current frame and writes it in raw pgm(5) or ppm(5) format to the file +\fIimage_name\fP. If \fIimage_name\fP=- or a NULL pointer then the +image file is produced on the standard output. If \fIimage_name\fP is a +relative path and the environment variable \fBFIASCO_IMAGES\fP is a +(colon-separated) list of directories, then the output file is +written to the first (writable) directory of this list. Otherwise, the +current directory is used to store the file. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_frame()\fP decompresses the +current frame and returns the computed image object. Use the function +fiasco_renderer_new(3) to create a renderer object that converts the +FIASCO image to the desired format. + +After all frames have been decompressed, the function +\fBfiasco_decoder_delete()\fP should be called to close the input file +and to free temporarily allocated memory. + +Number of available frames, frame rate and frames geometry, type of the +FIASCO file are accessible through member functions +\fBfiasco_decoder_get_length()\fP, +\fBfiasco_decoder_get_rate()\fP, +\fBfiasco_decoder_get_width()\fP, +\fBfiasco_decoder_get_height()\fP, +and \fBfiasco_decoder_is_color()\fP. Use \fBfiasco_decoder_get_title()\fP, +\fBfiasco_decoder_get_comment()\fP to read title and comment strings of the +FIASCO file. + +.SH ARGUMENTS + +.TP +fiasco_name +Filename of the FIASCO input file. If \fIfiasco_name\fP is a NULL pointer +or "-" then the decoder reads from standard input. If the file is not +found in the current directory and the environment variable +\fBFIASCO_DATA\fP is a (colon-separated) list of directories, then the +input file is searched for in these directories, too. + +.TP +options +This "class" encapsulates the various coding and decoding +parameters. Use the functions fiasco_d_options_new(3) and +fiasco_d_options_delete(3) to create and delete an object of this +class. Several member functions (see fiasco_d_options(3)) are +available to change the default values. + +.TP +decoder +The decoder "class" encapsulates the FIASCO decoder. It is used to +store the internal state of the decoder. + +.SH RETURN VALUES +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_new()\fP returns a pointer to the newly +allocated decoder object. If an error has been catched, a NULL pointer +is returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_write_frame()\fP returns 1 if the file +has been successfully written. Otherwise, the function returns 0. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_frame()\fP returns a pointer to the +newly allocated FIASCO image object. If an error has been catched, a NULL +pointer is returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_length()\fP returns the number of +frames of the FIASCO file. If an error has been catched, 0 is +returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_rate()\fP returns the +framerate (number of frames per second) of the FIASCO file. If an +error has been catched, 0 is returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_width()\fP returns the width of the +decoded frames of the FIASCO file. If an error has been catched, 0 is +returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_height()\fP returns the height of the +decoded frames of the FIASCO file. If an error has been catched, 0 is +returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_title()\fP returns an optional +title of the FIASCO file. If an error has been catched, 0 is returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_get_comment()\fP returns an optional +comment of the FIASCO file. If an error has been catched, 0 is returned. + +The function \fBfiasco_decoder_is_color()\fP returns 0 if the decoded +frames are grayscale images, otherwise a non-zero value is +returned. + +In case of an error in one of the above functions, use the function +fiasco_get_error_message(3) to get a string describing the last error +message of FIASCO. + +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PD 0 +.TP +.B FIASCO_IMAGES +Search path for image files.
