<p>
Once the serializer has been started, RDF triples can be sent to it
via the
<a class="link" href="raptor-section-serializer.html#raptor-serialize-statement" title="raptor_serialize_statement ()"><code class="function">raptor_serialize_statement()</code></a>
function with a
<a class="link" href="raptor-section-triples.html#raptor-statement" title="raptor_statement"><span class="type">raptor_statement</span></a>
value.
</p>
<p>Once all triples are sent, the serializing must be finished
with a call to
<a class="link" href="raptor-section-serializer.html#raptor-serialize-end" title="raptor_serialize_end ()"><code class="function">raptor_serialize_end()</code></a>.
In particular, only at this point does the
<a class="link" href="raptor-section-iostream.html#raptor-iostream" title="raptor_iostream"><span class="type">raptor_iostream</span></a>
get flushed or any string constructed for
<a class="link" href="raptor-section-serializer.html#raptor-serialize-start-to-string" title="raptor_serialize_start_to_string ()"><code class="function">raptor_serialize_start_to_string()</code></a>.

<pre class="programlisting">
/* start the serializing somehow */
