Detailed Description

Output file/data format handling.

libsigrok supports several output (file) formats, e.g. binary, VCD, gnuplot, and so on. It provides an output API that frontends can use. New output formats can be added/implemented in libsigrok without having to change the frontends at all.

All output modules are fed data in a stream. Devices that can stream data into libsigrok live, instead of storing and then transferring the whole buffer, can thus generate output live.

Output modules are responsible for allocating enough memory to store their own output, and passing a pointer to that memory (and length) of the allocated memory back to the caller. The caller is then expected to free this memory when finished with it.
