/** \defgroup flac_callbacks FLAC/callback.h: I/O callback structures
 *  \ingroup flac
 *
 *  \brief
 *  This module defines the structures for describing I/O callbacks
 *  to the other FLAC interfaces.
 *
 *  The purpose of the I/O callback functions is to create a common way
 *  for the metadata interfaces to handle I/O.
 *
 *  Originally the metadata interfaces required filenames as the way of
 *  specifying FLAC files to operate on.  This is problematic in some
 *  environments so there is an additional option to specify a set of
 *  callbacks for doing I/O on the FLAC file, instead of the filename.
 *
 *  In addition to the callbacks, a FLAC__IOHandle type is defined as an
 *  opaque structure for a data source.
 *
 *  The callback function prototypes are similar (but not identical) to the
 *  stdio functions fread, fwrite, fseek, ftell, feof, and fclose.  If you use
 *  stdio streams to implement the callbacks, you can pass fread, fwrite, and
 *  fclose anywhere a FLAC__IOCallback_Read, FLAC__IOCallback_Write, or
 *  FLAC__IOCallback_Close is required, and a FILE* anywhere a FLAC__IOHandle
 *  is required.  \warning You generally CANNOT directly use fseek or ftell
 *  for FLAC__IOCallback_Seek or FLAC__IOCallback_Tell since on most systems
 *  these use 32-bit offsets and FLAC requires 64-bit offsets to deal with
 *  large files.  You will have to find an equivalent function (e.g. ftello),
 *  or write a wrapper.  The same is true for feof() since this is usually
 *  implemented as a macro, not as a function whose address can be taken.
 *
