Field Documentation

const char* AVCodec::name

Name of the codec implementation.

The name is globally unique among encoders and among decoders (but an encoder and a decoder can share the same name). This is the primary way to find a codec from the user perspective.

const char* AVCodec::long_name

Descriptive name for the codec, meant to be more human readable than name.

You should use the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL() macro to define it.

int(* AVCodec::init_thread_copy)(AVCodecContext *)

If defined, called on thread contexts when they are created.

int(* AVCodec::update_thread_context)(AVCodecContext *dst, const AVCodecContext *src)

Copy necessary context variables from a previous thread context to the current one.

If not defined, the next thread will start automatically; otherwise, the codec must call ff_thread_finish_setup().

dst and src will (rarely) point to the same context, in which case memcpy should be skipped.

[in]	frame	AVFrame containing the raw data to be encoded
[out]	got_packet_ptr	encoder sets to 0 or 1 to indicate that a non-empty packet was returned in avpkt.
