+<p>This function forms packets into pages.</p>
+
+<p>In a typical encoding situation, this would be called after using <a
+href="ogg_stream_packetin.html">ogg_stream_packetin()</a> to submit
+data packets to the bitstream. Internally, this function assembles
+the accumulated packet bodies into an Ogg page suitable for writing
+to a stream.</p>
+
+<p>This function will only return a page when a "reasonable" amount of
+packet data is available. Normally this is appropriate since it
+limits the overhead of the Ogg page headers in the bitstream, and so
+calling ogg_stream_pageout() after ogg_stream_packetin() should be the
+common case. Call <a href="ogg_stream_flush.html">ogg_stream_flush()</a>
+if immediate page generation is desired. This may be occasionally
+necessary, for example, to limit the temporal latency of a variable
+bitrate stream.</p>
