.SH SYNOPSIS

 #include <roaraudio.h>

 struct roar_vio_calls;

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The RoarAudio VIO interface is RoarAudio's IO abstraction layer. It provides basic
IO functions such as read and write independing on the underlaying IO. For Example
can you open a plain or a gziped file via the VIO layer. After a successful open
both objects behave the same, libroar takes care about the compression in the gzip
case.
