Detailed Description

A four-character code (FourCC) identifier.

Stores four ASCII characters packed into a 32-bit integer in big-endian order. Commonly used to identify codecs, pixel formats, and container formats in multimedia applications. All operations are constexpr and suitable for use as compile-time constants.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FourCC() [1/2]

constexpr FourCC::FourCC ( char  c0, char  c1, char  c2, char  c3  )

inlineconstexpr

Constructs a FourCC from four individual characters.

Parameters

c0	First (most significant) character.
c1	Second character.
c2	Third character.
c3	Fourth (least significant) character.

FourCC() [2/2]

template<size_t N>

constexpr FourCC::FourCC ( const char(&)  str[N] )

inlineconstexpr

Constructs a FourCC from a string literal.

Template Parameters

N	The size of the string literal (must be 5, including null terminator).

Parameters

str	A 4-character string literal (e.g. "RIFF").

Member Function Documentation

value()

constexpr uint32_t FourCC::value ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the packed 32-bit integer value.

Returns

The FourCC as a uint32_t in big-endian byte order.
