int(* AVCodec::init)(AVCodecContext *)

Referenced by avcodec_open2(), frame_thread_init(), and vdadec_init().

void(* AVCodec::init_static_data)(struct AVCodec *codec)

Initialize codec static data, called from avcodec_register().

Referenced by avcodec_register().

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

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

If the codec allocates writable tables in init(), re-allocate them here. priv_data will be set to a copy of the original.

Referenced by frame_thread_init().

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.

Definition at line 3120 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by print_codec(), print_codecs(), and show_stream().

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.

Definition at line 3115 of file avcodec.h.

array of supported framerates, or NULL if any, array is terminated by {0,0}

Definition at line 3128 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by print_codec(), and transcode_init().

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.
