NAME

       libroar - RoarAudio sound library

       roarvio - RoarAudio virtual IO layer

SYNOPSIS

	#include <roaraudio.h>

	struct roar_vio_calls;

DESCRIPTION

       The  RoarAudio  VIO interface is RoarAudio's IO abstraction layer. It provides basic IO functions such as read and write independing on the
       underlaying IO. For Example can you open a plain or a gziped file via the VIO layer. After a successful open both objects behave the  same,
       libroar takes care about the compression in the gzip case.

       Tutorials can be found in roartutvio(7).
