  16 <h1>Thread Safety</h1>
  17
  18 Tremor's libvorbisidec may be used safely in a threading environment
  19 so long as thread access to individual <a
  20 href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instances is serialized.
  21 <ul>
  22
  23 <li>Only one thread at a time may enter a function that takes a given <a
  24 href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instance, even if the
  25 functions involved appear to be read-only.<p>
  26
  27 <li>Multiple threads may enter
  28 libvorbisidec at a given time, so long as each thread's function calls
  29 are using different <a href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a>
  30 instances. <p>
  31
  32 <li>Any one <a
  33 href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instance may be used safely from multiple threads so long as only one thread at a time is making calls using that instance.<p>
  34 </ul>
