The files read and produced by this software are called FLAC files. As these files (which follow the FLAC format) can be read from and written to by other software as well, this software is often referred to as the FLAC reference implementation. FLAC has been developed by volunteers. If you want to help out, see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information. Components FLAC is comprised of libFLAC, a library which implements reference encoders and decoders for native FLAC and Ogg FLAC, and a metadata interface libFLAC++, a C++ object wrapper library around libFLAC flac , a command-line program for encoding and decoding files metaflac , a command-line program for viewing and editing FLAC metadata user and API documentation The libraries (libFLAC, libFLAC++) are licensed under Xiph.org's BSD-like license (see COPYING.Xiph).
