NAME

       roar_str2codec - Get codec ID by codec name

       roar_codec2str - Get codec name by ID

SYNOPSIS

        #include <roaraudio.h>

        int    roar_str2codec (char * codec);
        char * roar_codec2str (int    codec);

DESCRIPTION

       roar_str2codec  converts  a  string  to a RoarAudio Codec ID. It also supports some common
       aliases.  roar_codec2str is the reverse operation of roar_str2codec: It gets a name by the
       ID given.  If a codec is valid the following should be true:
        roar_str2codec(roar_codec2str(codec)) == codec

       Note  that because of aliasing and case insensitivity the revers operation needs not to be
       true.

THREAD SAFETY

       Because roar_codec2str returns a static unique pointer for each codec it is  fully  thread
       safe.

RETURN VALUE

       On  success  roar_str2codec returns a codec ID.  On error, -1 is returned.  roar_codec2str
       returns the name of the codec or NULL on error.  You must not free this pointer  or  write
       to it.
