I'm trying to use libfaac and I'm curious why faacEncOpen() receives maxOutputBytes as unsigned long* as it's only to say how many bytes can write to output buffer.
So why it is a pointer?

To store the number of bytes actually written? – Daniel Fischer Jan 14 '13 at 17:05

1It looks like that function tells you what maxOutputBytes is, rather than you telling it what you want. – Mat Jan 14 '13 at 17:06

Thanks Mat function writes to that pointer a value that says me how long output buffer should i make – hub2 Jan 14 '13 at 17:43
