typedef struct IFFHandle

Handle returned by iff_new() and iff_open() calls.

FILE* iff

ulong type

FORM type.

ulong id

Identifier, somewhat less strict.

ulong chunksize

Size of current chunk.

ulong prevchunksize

Makes the reader able to scan backwards.

ulong size

Size of the IFF

ulong pos

Position in file.

List chunks

Linked list of chunk context nodes.

char write

Are we in write mode?

Documentation

Handle returned by iff_new() and iff_open() calls. All reading/writing functions need this to see where they are, and to store temporary nodes while building an IFF.

FILE* iff

ulong type

FORM type. See the IFF85 text for a thorough introduction.

ulong id

Identifier, somewhat less strict. Used by the reading functions. Soon to be replaced.

ulong chunksize

Size of current chunk. Used by the reading functions. Soon to be replaced.

ulong prevchunksize

Makes the reader able to scan backwards. Used by the reading functions. Soon to be replaced.

ulong size

Size of the IFF

ulong pos

Position in file. Usually the result of an ftell().

List chunks

Linked list of chunk context nodes. Not used by the reader functions yet. The API is more or less locked down, but behind the scenes, there is some inconsistency between reading and writing of IFF. Fixing it soon.

char write

Are we in write mode? iff_close() checks this to see if the final filesize needs to be corrected, and if chunks are to be finalised.
