"""Simple class to read IFF chunks.

[0] Fix | Delete

[1] Fix | Delete

An IFF chunk (used in formats such as AIFF, TIFF, RMFF (RealMedia File

[2] Fix | Delete

Format)) has the following structure:

[3] Fix | Delete

[4] Fix | Delete

+----------------+

[5] Fix | Delete

| ID (4 bytes) |

[6] Fix | Delete

+----------------+

[7] Fix | Delete

| size (4 bytes) |

[8] Fix | Delete

+----------------+

[9] Fix | Delete

| data |

[10] Fix | Delete

| ... |

[11] Fix | Delete

+----------------+

[12] Fix | Delete

[13] Fix | Delete

The ID is a 4-byte string which identifies the type of chunk.

[14] Fix | Delete

[15] Fix | Delete

The size field (a 32-bit value, encoded using big-endian byte order)

[16] Fix | Delete

gives the size of the whole chunk, including the 8-byte header.

[17] Fix | Delete

[18] Fix | Delete

Usually an IFF-type file consists of one or more chunks. The proposed

[19] Fix | Delete

usage of the Chunk class defined here is to instantiate an instance at

[20] Fix | Delete

the start of each chunk and read from the instance until it reaches

[21] Fix | Delete

the end, after which a new instance can be instantiated. At the end

[22] Fix | Delete

of the file, creating a new instance will fail with an EOFError

[23] Fix | Delete

exception.

[24] Fix | Delete

[25] Fix | Delete

Usage:

[26] Fix | Delete

while True:

[27] Fix | Delete

try:

[28] Fix | Delete

chunk = Chunk(file)

[29] Fix | Delete

except EOFError:

[30] Fix | Delete

break

[31] Fix | Delete

chunktype = chunk.getname()

[32] Fix | Delete

while True:

[33] Fix | Delete

data = chunk.read(nbytes)

[34] Fix | Delete

if not data:

[35] Fix | Delete

pass

[36] Fix | Delete

# do something with data

[37] Fix | Delete

[38] Fix | Delete

The interface is file-like. The implemented methods are:

[39] Fix | Delete

read, close, seek, tell, isatty.

[40] Fix | Delete

Extra methods are: skip() (called by close, skips to the end of the chunk),

[41] Fix | Delete

getname() (returns the name (ID) of the chunk)

[42] Fix | Delete

[43] Fix | Delete

The __init__ method has one required argument, a file-like object

[44] Fix | Delete

(including a chunk instance), and one optional argument, a flag which

[45] Fix | Delete

specifies whether or not chunks are aligned on 2-byte boundaries. The

[46] Fix | Delete

default is 1, i.e. aligned.
