+ *
+ *  \brief
+ *  This module contains structure definitions for the representation
+ *  of FLAC format components in memory.  These are the basic
+ *  structures used by the rest of the interfaces.
+ *
+ *  First, you should be familiar with the
+ *  <A HREF="../format.html">FLAC format</A>.  Many of the values here
+ *  follow directly from the specification.  As a user of libFLAC, the
+ *  interesting parts really are the structures that describe the frame
+ *  header and metadata blocks.
+ *
+ *  The format structures here are very primitive, designed to store
+ *  information in an efficient way.  Reading information from the
+ *  structures is easy but creating or modifying them directly is
+ *  more complex.  For the most part, as a user of a library, editing
+ *  is not necessary; however, for metadata blocks it is, so there are
+ *  convenience functions provided in the \link flac_metadata metadata
+ *  module \endlink to simplify the manipulation of metadata blocks.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * It's not the best convention, but symbols ending in _LEN are in bits
+ * and _LENGTH are in bytes.  _LENGTH symbols are \#defines instead of
+ * global variables because they are usually used when declaring byte
+ * arrays and some compilers require compile-time knowledge of array
+ * sizes when declared on the stack.
+ *
+ * \{
