.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBfiasco_decoder_new()\fP function initializes the decompression
of FIASCO file \fIfiasco_name\fP. 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.
