<h3><b>Virtual File Open Function</b></h3>

SNDFILE* sf_open_virtual (SF_VIRTUAL_IO *sfvirtual, int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo, void *user_data) ;
</pre>
<p>
Opens a soundfile from a virtual file I/O context which is provided
by the caller. This is usually used to interface libsndfile to a stream or buffer
based system. Apart from the sfvirtual and the user_data parameters this function behaves
like <a href="#open">sf_open</a>.

sf_vio_seek seek ;
sf_vio_read read ;

sf_vio_tell tell ;
} SF_VIRTUAL_IO ;
</pre>
<p>
Libsndfile calls the callbacks provided by the SF_VIRTUAL_IO structure when opening, reading
and writing to the virtual file context. The user_data pointer is a user defined context which
will be available in the callbacks.

<h4>sf_vio_seek</h4>
<pre>
typedef sf_count_t (*sf_vio_seek) (sf_count_t offset, int whence, void *user_data) ;

The return value must contain the new offset in the file.
</p>
<h4>sf_vio_read</h4>
<pre>
typedef sf_count_t (*sf_vio_read) (void *ptr, sf_count_t count, void *user_data) ;
</pre>
<p>
The virtual file context must copy ("read") "count" bytes into the
buffer provided by ptr and return the count of actually copied bytes.
</p>
<h4>sf_vio_write</h4>
<pre>
typedef sf_count_t (*sf_vio_write) (const void *ptr, sf_count_t count, void *user_data) ;
</pre>
<p>
The virtual file context must process "count" bytes stored in the
buffer passed with ptr and return the count of actually processed bytes.<br>

typedef sf_count_t (*sf_vio_tell) (void *user_data) ;

Return the current position of the virtual file context.<br>
