00016 <h1>Thread Safety</h1>
00017
00018 Vorbisfile's libvorbisfile may be used safely in a threading environment
00019 so long as thread access to individual <a
00020 href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instances is serialized.
00021 <ul>
00022
00023 <li>Only one thread at a time may enter a function that takes a given <a
00024 href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instance, even if the
00025 functions involved appear to be read-only.<p>
00026
00027 <li>Multiple threads may enter
00028 libvorbisfile at a given time, so long as each thread's function calls
00029 are using different <a href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a>
00030 instances. <p>
00031
00032 <li>Any one <a
00033 href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instance may be used safely from multiple threads so long as only one thread at a time is making calls using that instance.<p>
