<hr class="docutils" />
<p>This module provides an interface for reading files that use EA IFF 85 chunks.
<a class="footnote-reference brackets" href="#id2" id="id1" role="doc-noteref"><span class="fn-bracket">[</span>1<span class="fn-bracket">]</span></a>  This format is used in at least the Audio Interchange File Format
(AIFF/AIFF-C) and the Real Media File Format (RMFF).  The WAVE audio file format
is closely related and can also be read using this module.</p>
<p>A chunk has the following structure:</p>
<table class="docutils align-default">
<thead>
<tr class="row-odd"><th class="head"><p>Offset</p></th>
<th class="head"><p>Length</p></th>
<th class="head"><p>Contents</p></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>0</p></td>
<td><p>4</p></td>
<td><p>Chunk ID</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>4</p></td>
<td><p>4</p></td>
<td><p>Size of chunk in big-endian
byte order, not including the
header</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>8</p></td>
<td><p><em>n</em></p></td>
<td><p>Data bytes, where <em>n</em> is the
size given in the preceding
field</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>8 + <em>n</em></p></td>
<td><p>0 or 1</p></td>
<td><p>Pad byte needed if <em>n</em> is odd
and chunk alignment is used</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The ID is a 4-byte string which identifies the type of chunk.</p>
<p>The size field (a 32-bit value, encoded using big-endian byte order) gives the
size of the chunk data, not including the 8-byte header.</p>
<p>Usually an IFF-type file consists of one or more chunks.  The proposed usage of
the <a class="reference internal" href="#chunk.Chunk" title="chunk.Chunk"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Chunk</span></code></a> class defined here is to instantiate an instance at the start
of each chunk and read from the instance until it reaches the end, after which a
new instance can be instantiated. At the end of the file, creating a new
instance will fail with an <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#EOFError" title="EOFError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">EOFError</span></code></a> exception.</p>

<dd><p>Class which represents a chunk.  The <em>file</em> argument is expected to be a
file-like object.  An instance of this class is specifically allowed.  The
only method that is needed is <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">read()</span></code>.  If the methods
<a class="reference internal" href="io.html#io.IOBase.seek" title="io.IOBase.seek"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">seek()</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="io.html#io.IOBase.tell" title="io.IOBase.tell"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tell()</span></code></a> are present and don’t
raise an exception, they are also used.
If these methods are present and raise an exception, they are expected to not
have altered the object.  If the optional argument <em>align</em> is true, chunks
are assumed to be aligned on 2-byte boundaries.  If <em>align</em> is false, no
alignment is assumed.  The default value is true.  If the optional argument
<em>bigendian</em> is false, the chunk size is assumed to be in little-endian order.
This is needed for WAVE audio files. The default value is true.  If the
optional argument <em>inclheader</em> is true, the size given in the chunk header
includes the size of the header.  The default value is false.</p>
<p>A <a class="reference internal" href="#chunk.Chunk" title="chunk.Chunk"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Chunk</span></code></a> object supports the following methods:</p>
