+<h1>oggpack_writecheck</h1>

+<p><i>declared in "ogg/ogg.h";</i></p>
+
+<p>This function checks the readiness status of
+an <a href="oggpack_buffer.html">oggpack_buffer</a> previously
+initialized for writing using the
+Ogg <a href="bitpacking.html">bitpacking</a> functions. A write
+buffer that encounters an error (such as a failed malloc) will clear
+its internal state and release any in-use memory, flagging itself as
+'not ready'. Subsequent attempts to write using the buffer will
+silently fail. This error state may be detected at any later time by
+using oggpack_writecheck(). It is safe but not necessary to
+call <a href="oggpack_writeclear.html">oggpack_writeclear()</a> on a buffer that
+has flagged an error and released its resources.
+
+<p><em>Important note to developers: Although libogg checks the
+results of memory allocations, these checks are only useful on a
+narrow range of embedded platforms. Allocation checks perform no
+useful service on a general purpose desktop OS where pages are
+routinely overallocated and all allocations succeed whether memory is
+available or not. The only way to detect an out of memory condition
+on the vast majority of OSes is to watch for and capture segmentation
+faults. This function is useful only to embedded developers.</em>
