Yes, says the FLAC documentation[1]: it is "an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning
that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality."

FLAC's documentation of the FLAC stream format[2] says:

I'm reading the so-called specification. It's vague.
As I read it, [2] is not a so-called "specification", it is a so-called "overview". So called in the
page title, "Format overview". If you look further through the FLAC documentation, you will see that
for a "FLAC format specification" it refers to RFC 9639[3]. That is the document to check for
vagueness.
Yes, RFC 9639. That's the so-called specification. I read it. It's vague. Compared to MPEG's
specifications, it's quite vague.
