16<h1>ogg_stream_packetout</h1>
17
18<p><i>declared in "ogg/ogg.h";</i></p>
19
20<p>This function assembles a data packet for output to the codec 
21decoding engine. The data has already been submitted to the
22<a href="ogg_stream_state.html">ogg_stream_state</a> and broken
23into segments. Each successive call returns the next complete packet 
24built from those segments.</p>
25
26<p>In a typical decoding situation, this should be used after calling 
27<a href="ogg_stream_pagein.html">ogg_stream_pagein()</a> to submit a 
28page of data to the bitstream. If the function returns 0, more data is 
29needed and another page should be submitted. A non-zero return value 
30indicates successful return of a packet.</p>
31
32<p>The <i>op</i> is filled in with pointers to memory managed by
33the stream state and is only valid until the next call. The client
34must copy the packet data if a longer lifetime is required.</p>

47<h3>Parameters</h3>
48<dl>
49<dt><i>os</i></dt>
50<dd>Pointer to a previously declared <a
51href="ogg_stream_state.html">ogg_stream_state</a> struct.  Before this function is called, an <a href="ogg_page.html">ogg_page</a> should be submitted to the stream using <a href="ogg_stream_pagein.html">ogg_stream_pagein()</a>.</dd>
52<dt><i>op</i></dt>
53<dd>Pointer to the packet to be filled in with pointers to the new data. 
54This will typically be submitted to a codec for decode after this 
55function is called. The pointers are only valid until the next call
56on this stream state.</dd>
57</dl>

60<h3>Return Values</h3>
61<blockquote>
62<ul>
63<li>-1 if we are out of sync and there is a gap in the data. This is usually a recoverable error and subsequent calls to ogg_stream_packetout are likely to succeed. <i>op</i> has not been updated.</li>
64<li>0 if there is insufficient data available to complete a packet, or on unrecoverable internal error occurred. <i>op</i> has not been updated.
65<li>1 if a packet was assembled normally. <i>op</i> contains the next packet from the stream.</li>
66</ul>
