BGAV_PUBLIC int bgav_open	(	bgav_t *	bgav,
		const char *	location
	)

Open a file or URL.

Parameters:

	bgav	A decoder instance
	location	The URL or path to open

Returns:

1 if the location was successfully openend, 0 else.

BGAV_PUBLIC int bgav_open_vcd	(	bgav_t *	bgav,
		const char *	location
	)

Open a VCD device.

Parameters:

	bgav	A decoder instance
	location	The device node

Returns:

1 if the VCD device was successfully openend, 0 else.

BGAV_PUBLIC int bgav_open_dvd	(	bgav_t *	bgav,
		const char *	location
	)

Open a DVD device.

Parameters:

	bgav	A decoder instance
	location	The device node

Returns:

1 if the DVD device was successfully openend, 0 else.

BGAV_PUBLIC int bgav_open_dvb	(	bgav_t *	bgav,
		const char *	location
	)

		int	fd,
		int64_t	total_size,
		const char *	mimetype
	)

Open a decoder from a filedescriptor.

Parameters:

	bgav	A decoder instance
	fd	The filedescriptor
	total_size	The total number of available bytes or 0 if this info is not known.
	mimetype	The mimetype of the input or NULL if this info is not known.

Returns:

1 if the filedescriptor was successfully openend, 0 else.

BGAV_PUBLIC int bgav_open_callbacks	(	bgav_t *	bgav,
		int(*)(void *priv, uint8_t *data, int len)	read_callback,
		int64_t(*)(void *priv, uint64_t pos, int whence)	seek_callback,
		void *	priv,
		const char *	filename,
		const char *	mimetype,
		int64_t	total_bytes
	)

Open a decoder with callbacks.

Parameters:

	bgav	A decoder instance
	read_callback	Callback for reading data
	seek_callback	Callback for seeking
	priv	Private argument for the callbacks
	filename	The filename of the input or NULL if this info is not known.
