Function Documentation

◆ id3v2AttachFrameToTag()

bool id3v2AttachFrameToTag	(	Id3v2Tag *	tag,
		Id3v2Frame *	frame )

Inserts a frame at the end of a tag's frames list.

Appends the provided frame to the back of the tag's frames list. Validates that the tag structure and frame structure are complete before insertion. Does not create a copy of the frame; the tag takes ownership of the frame pointer. Returns false if the tag is NULL, the frame is NULL, the tag's frames list is NULL, or any of the frame's required components (contexts, entries, header) are NULL.

Parameters

tag	- Tag structure to receive the frame
frame	- Frame to insert. Tag takes ownership of this pointer

Returns: bool - true on successful insertion, false on failure

Definition at line 953 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CompareContentEntry()

int id3v2CompareContentEntry	(	const void *	first,
		const void *	second )

Compares two content entries byte-by-byte and returns the difference.

Performs lexicographic comparison of entry data up to the smaller of the two sizes. Size differences are ignored for compatibility with various ID3v2 tag writers (Jaikoz, iTunes, Mp3tag, Mp3diag, kid3) which write strings with different padding/termination. This design prioritizes data content over exact size matching.

Parameters

first	- First content entry to compare
second	- Second content entry to compare

Returns: int - 0 if entries are equal up to minimum size, positive if first > second, negative if first < second, or 1 if either parameter is NULL

Definition at line 145 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CompareFrame()

int id3v2CompareFrame	(	const void *	first,
		const void *	second )

Performs deep comparison of two ID3v2 frame structures.

Compares all frame components including header fields (ID, flags, symbols), content entries, and contexts. Can be used as a callback for list comparison operations.

Parameters

first	- First frame to compare
second	- Second frame to compare

Returns: int - 0 if frames are equal, negative if first < second, positive if first > second

Definition at line 241 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CompareFrameId()

bool id3v2CompareFrameId	(	const Id3v2Frame *	frame,
		const char	id[ID3V2_FRAME_ID_MAX_SIZE] )

Compares a frame's identifier with a provided ID string.

Performs byte-by-byte comparison of the frame's header ID against the provided ID array. Returns false if frame or frame header is NULL to ensure safe operation.

Parameters

frame	- Frame structure containing the ID to compare
id	- ID string array of ID3V2_FRAME_ID_MAX_SIZE bytes to compare against

Returns: bool - true if IDs match exactly, false if they differ or if frame/header is NULL

Definition at line 501 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CopyContentEntry()

void * id3v2CopyContentEntry ( const void * toBeCopied )

Creates a deep copy of a content entry.

Duplicates a content entry by creating a new structure with independently allocated data. Can be used as a callback function for list copy operations.

Parameters

toBeCopied - Content entry to copy

Returns: void* - Heap allocated content entry containing a deep copy of the data with id3v2DeleteContentEntry()

Definition at line 196 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CopyFrame()

void * id3v2CopyFrame ( const void * toBeCopied )

Definition at line 364 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CreateContentEntry()

Id3v2ContentEntry * id3v2CreateContentEntry	(	void *	entry,
		size_t	size )

Creates a content entry structure with a deep copy of the provided data.

Allocates an Id3v2ContentEntry on the heap and performs a deep copy of the provided entry data. Content entries store individual field values within ID3v2 frames (e.g., encoding byte, text strings, binary data). If size is 0, creates an empty entry with NULL data.

Parameters

entry	- Pointer to data to copy into the content entry. Ignored if size is 0
size	- Size of data in bytes. If 0, creates empty entry with NULL data pointer

Returns: Id3v2ContentEntry * - Heap-allocated Id3v2ContentEntry containing a deep copy of the data

Definition at line 115 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CreateEmptyFrame()

Id3v2Frame * id3v2CreateEmptyFrame	(	const char	id[ID3V2_FRAME_ID_MAX_SIZE],
		uint8_t	version,
		HashTable *	userPairs )

Creates an empty frame structure with zero-initialized entries based on context lookup.

Resolves frame context through cascading lookups: exact ID match in defaults, text frame fallback, URL frame fallback, and user-defined pairings, and finally a generic fallback. Creates entries initialized to single zero bytes according to the resolved context, skipping iterator contexts. Frame header is created with all flags disabled.

Parameters

id	- Frame identifier array of ID3V2_FRAME_ID_MAX_SIZE
version	- ID3v2 version for default context pairing lookup
userPairs	- Optional user-defined ID-to-context mappings

Returns: Id3v2Frame* - Heap allocated frame with zero-initialized entries, or NULL if id is NULL. Caller must free with id3v2DestroyFrame()

Definition at line 435 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CreateFrame()

Id3v2Frame * id3v2CreateFrame	(	Id3v2FrameHeader *	header,
		List *	context,

Parameters

header	- Frame header containing ID and flags
context	- List of content contexts defining entry structures
entries	- List of content entries containing frame data

Returns: Id3v2Frame* - Heap allocated Id3v2Frame structure. Caller must free with id3v2DestroyFrame()

Definition at line 391 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2CreateFrameEntryTraverser()

		bool	unsync,
		uint32_t	decompressionSize,
		uint8_t	encryptionSymbol,
		uint8_t	groupSymbol )

Creates an ID3v2 frame header structure with specified flags and metadata.

Allocates and initializes a frame header on the heap. The header contains a frame identifier and control flags for preservation (tag/file alter, read-only) and format (compression, encryption, grouping, unsynchronisation). Format flags are only used in ID3v2.3/2.4; they are ignored in v2.2 but can be set for forward compatibility.

Returns: ListIter - Iterator positioned at the start of the frames list, or empty iterator if tag/frames is NULL

Definition at line 524 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2DeleteContentEntry()

void id3v2DeleteContentEntry ( void * toBeDeleted )

Frees all memory allocated for a content entry structure.

Safely deallocates an Id3v2ContentEntry. Frees the internal data buffer if present, then the structure itself. Can be used as a callback for list deletion operations.

Parameters

toBeDeleted - Pointer to Id3v2ContentEntry to be freed

Definition at line 210 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2DeleteFrame()

void id3v2DeleteFrame ( void * toBeDeleted )

Parameters

toBeDeleted - Pointer to Id3v2Frame to be freed

Definition at line 226 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2DestroyFrame()

void id3v2DestroyFrame ( Id3v2Frame ** toDelete )

Frees all memory allocated for an ID3v2 frame structure and nullifies the pointer.

Completely deallocates a frame by freeing its contexts list, entries list, frame header, and the frame structure itself. Sets the pointer to NULL after freeing to prevent use-after-free errors. If the pointer is already NULL, no action is taken.

Parameters

toDelete - Pointer to frame pointer to be freed and nullified

Definition at line 409 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2DestroyFrameHeader()

void id3v2DestroyFrameHeader ( Id3v2FrameHeader ** toDelete )

Frees all memory allocated for a frame header and nullifies the pointer.

◆ id3v2DetachFrameFromTag()

Id3v2Frame * id3v2DetachFrameFromTag	(	Id3v2Tag *	tag,
		Id3v2Frame *	frame )

Removes a frame from a tag's frames list and returns it to the caller.

Searches the tag's frames list for a matching frame, removes it from the list, and returns the frame pointer. Does not deallocate the frame; ownership transfers to the caller who must eventually free it with id3v2DestroyFrame(). Returns NULL if the tag is NULL, the frame is NULL, or the frame is not found in the tag's frames list.

Parameters

tag	- Tag structure containing the frame to remove
frame	- Frame to locate and remove from the tag

Returns: Id3v2Frame* - Pointer to the removed frame or NULL on failure

Definition at line 978 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2FrameHeaderSerialize()

uint8_t * id3v2FrameHeaderSerialize	(	Id3v2FrameHeader *	header,
		uint8_t	version,
		uint32_t	frameSize,
		size_t *	outl )

Serializes a frame header to binary format according to the specified ID3v2 version.

Converts a frame header structure into its binary representation following version-specific formats. v2.2 produces a 6-byte header. v2.3 and v2.4 produce 10+ byte headers with optional extended data fields. v2.4 uses syncsafe encoding for the frame size, extended data is conditionally appended when their values are non-zero. Returns NULL and sets outl to 0 if the header is NULL or version is invalid (greater than ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_4).

Parameters

header	- Frame header structure to serialize
version	- ID3v2 version (ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_2, ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_3, or ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_4)
frameSize	- Size of frame content in bytes (excludes header). Encoded as syncsafe in v2.4
outl	- Output parameter receiving the serialized header size in bytes, or 0 on failure

Returns: uint8_t* - Heap allocated binary header data. Caller must free. NULL on failure

Definition at line 1002 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2FrameHeaderToJSON()

char * id3v2FrameHeaderToJSON	(	const Id3v2FrameHeader *	header,
		uint8_t	version )

Converts a frame header structure to its JSON representation based on ID3v2 version.

Serializes frame header metadata into a JSON string with version-specific fields. v2.2 includes only the 3-character frame ID. v2.3 adds preservation flags, compression, encryption, and grouping metadata. v2.4 additionally includes the unsynchronisation flag. Returns an empty JSON object "{}" if the header is NULL or the version is unsupported.

Example outputs:

v2.2: {"id":"TIT"}
v2.3: {"id":"TIT2","tagAlterPreservation":false,"fileAlterPreservation":false,"readOnly":false,"decompressionSize":0,"encryptionSymbol":0,"groupSymbol":0}
v2.4: {"id":"TIT2","tagAlterPreservation":false,"fileAlterPreservation":false,"readOnly":false,"unsynchronisation":false,"decompressionSize":0,"encryptionSymbol":0,"groupSymbol":0}

Parameters

header	- Frame header structure to convert to JSON
version	- ID3v2 version (ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_2, ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_3, or ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_4)

Returns: char* - Heap allocated JSON string. Caller must free. Returns "{}" if header is NULL or version is unsupported

Definition at line 1136 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2FrameSerialize()

uint8_t * id3v2FrameSerialize	(	Id3v2Frame *	frame,
		uint8_t	version,
		size_t *	outl )

Serializes a complete ID3v2 frame to binary format according to the specified version.

Converts a frame structure into its binary representation by serializing the header and processing each content entry according to its context type. Handles encoding conversions (UTF-8, UTF-16LE/BE, Latin-1), null terminator insertion, bit-packing, and size adjustments. The serialization process iterates through frame contexts and applies type-specific transformations: encoded strings are converted to their target encoding with BOM prepending where required, binary/numeric data is written directly, bit contexts are packed into compact byte representations, and adjustment contexts modify data sizes dynamically. Returns NULL and sets outl to 0 if the frame is NULL, version is invalid (greater than ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_4), or memory allocation fails during processing.

Parameters

frame	- Frame structure containing header, contexts, and entries to serialize
version	- ID3v2 version (ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_2, ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_3, or ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_4)
outl	- Output parameter receiving the total serialized frame size in bytes (header + content), or 0 on failure

Returns: uint8_t* - Heap allocated binary frame data ready for writing to file. Caller must free. NULL on failure

This will go on forever until a failure condition is met by a previous context i.e latin1_context detects null

Definition at line 1260 of file id3v2Frame.c.

◆ id3v2FrameToJSON()

char * id3v2FrameToJSON	(	Id3v2Frame *	frame,
		uint8_t	version )

Converts a complete ID3v2 frame structure to its JSON representation.

Serializes frame metadata and content entries into a JSON object with header information and an array of content values. String entries are converted to UTF-8 with escaped special characters, binary data is base64-encoded, numeric values are represented as strings, and floating-point values are formatted with decimal precision. Returns an empty JSON object "{}" if the frame is NULL or version is invalid (greater than ID3V2_TAG_VERSION_4).

Example output for a TIT2 (title) frame in ID3v2.4:

{
  "header": {
    "id":"TIT2",
    "tagAlterPreservation":false,
    "fileAlterPreservation":false,
    "readOnly":false,
    "unsynchronisation":false,
    "decompressionSize":0,
    "encryptionSymbol":0,
