39  * @defgroup avoptions AVOptions

41  * @{
42  * AVOptions provide a generic system to declare options on arbitrary structs
43  * ("objects"). An option can have a help text, a type and a range of possible
44  * values. Options may then be enumerated, read and written to.
45  *
46  * @section avoptions_implement Implementing AVOptions
47  * This section describes how to add AVOptions capabilities to a struct.
48  *
49  * All AVOptions-related information is stored in an AVClass. Therefore
50  * the first member of the struct should be a pointer to an AVClass describing it.
51  * The option field of the AVClass must be set to a NULL-terminated static array
52  * of AVOptions. Each AVOption must have a non-empty name, a type, a default
53  * value and for number-type AVOptions also a range of allowed values. It must
54  * also declare an offset in bytes from the start of the struct, where the field
55  * associated with this AVOption is located. Other fields in the AVOption struct
56  * should also be set when applicable, but are not required.
57  *
58  * The following example illustrates an AVOptions-enabled struct:
59  * @code
60  * typedef struct test_struct {
61  *     const AVClass *class;
62  *     int      int_opt;
63  *     char    *str_opt;
64  *     uint8_t *bin_opt;
65  *     int      bin_len;
66  * } test_struct;
67  *
68  * static const AVOption test_options[] = {
69  *   { "test_int", "This is a test option of int type.", offsetof(test_struct, int_opt),
70  *     AV_OPT_TYPE_INT, { .i64 = -1 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX },
71  *   { "test_str", "This is a test option of string type.", offsetof(test_struct, str_opt),
72  *     AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING },
73  *   { "test_bin", "This is a test option of binary type.", offsetof(test_struct, bin_opt),
74  *     AV_OPT_TYPE_BINARY },
75  *   { NULL },
76  * };
77  *
78  * static const AVClass test_class = {
79  *     .class_name = "test class",
80  *     .item_name  = av_default_item_name,
81  *     .option     = test_options,
82  *     .version    = LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT,
83  * };
84  * @endcode
85  *
86  * Next, when allocating your struct, you must ensure that the AVClass pointer
87  * is set to the correct value. Then, av_opt_set_defaults() can be called to
88  * initialize defaults. After that the struct is ready to be used with the
89  * AVOptions API.
90  *
91  * When cleaning up, you may use the av_opt_free() function to automatically
92  * free all the allocated string and binary options.
93  *
94  * Continuing with the above example:
95  *
96  * @code
97  * test_struct *alloc_test_struct(void)
98  * {
99  *     test_struct *ret = av_mallocz(sizeof(*ret));
100  *     ret->class = &test_class;
101  *     av_opt_set_defaults(ret);
102  *     return ret;
103  * }
104  * void free_test_struct(test_struct **foo)
105  * {
106  *     av_opt_free(*foo);
107  *     av_freep(foo);
108  * }
109  * @endcode
110  *
111  * @subsection avoptions_implement_nesting Nesting
112  *      It may happen that an AVOptions-enabled struct contains another
113  *      AVOptions-enabled struct as a member (e.g. AVCodecContext in
114  *      libavcodec exports generic options, while its priv_data field exports
115  *      codec-specific options). In such a case, it is possible to set up the
116  *      parent struct to export a child's options. To do that, simply
117  *      implement AVClass.child_next() and AVClass.child_class_iterate() in the
118  *      parent struct's AVClass.
119  *      Assuming that the test_struct from above now also contains a
120  *      child_struct field:
121  *
122  *      @code
123  *      typedef struct child_struct {
124  *          AVClass *class;
125  *          int flags_opt;
126  *      } child_struct;
127  *      static const AVOption child_opts[] = {
128  *          { "test_flags", "This is a test option of flags type.",
129  *            offsetof(child_struct, flags_opt), AV_OPT_TYPE_FLAGS, { .i64 = 0 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX },
130  *          { NULL },
131  *      };
132  *      static const AVClass child_class = {
133  *          .class_name = "child class",
134  *          .item_name  = av_default_item_name,
135  *          .option     = child_opts,
136  *          .version    = LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT,
137  *      };
138  *
139  *      void *child_next(void *obj, void *prev)
140  *      {
141  *          test_struct *t = obj;
142  *          if (!prev && t->child_struct)
143  *              return t->child_struct;
144  *          return NULL
145  *      }
146  *      const AVClass child_class_iterate(void **iter)
147  *      {
148  *          const AVClass *c = *iter ? NULL : &child_class;
149  *          *iter = (void*)(uintptr_t)c;
150  *          return c;
151  *      }
152  *      @endcode
153  *      Putting child_next() and child_class_iterate() as defined above into
154  *      test_class will now make child_struct's options accessible through
155  *      test_struct (again, proper setup as described above needs to be done on
156  *      child_struct right after it is created).
157  *
158  *      From the above example it might not be clear why both child_next()
159  *      and child_class_iterate() are needed. The distinction is that child_next()
160  *      iterates over actually existing objects, while child_class_iterate()
161  *      iterates over all possible child classes. E.g. if an AVCodecContext
162  *      was initialized to use a codec which has private options, then its
163  *      child_next() will return AVCodecContext.priv_data and finish
164  *      iterating. OTOH child_class_iterate() on AVCodecContext.av_class will
165  *      iterate over all available codecs with private options.
166  *
167  * @subsection avoptions_implement_named_constants Named constants
168  *      It is possible to create named constants for options. Simply set the unit
169  *      field of the option the constants should apply to a string and
170  *      create the constants themselves as options of type AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST
171  *      with their unit field set to the same string.
172  *      Their default_val field should contain the value of the named
173  *      constant.
174  *      For example, to add some named constants for the test_flags option
175  *      above, put the following into the child_opts array:
176  *      @code
177  *      { "test_flags", "This is a test option of flags type.",
178  *        offsetof(child_struct, flags_opt), AV_OPT_TYPE_FLAGS, { .i64 = 0 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX, "test_unit" },
179  *      { "flag1", "This is a flag with value 16", 0, AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST, { .i64 = 16 }, 0, 0, "test_unit" },
180  *      @endcode
181  *
182  * @section avoptions_use Using AVOptions
183  * This section deals with accessing options in an AVOptions-enabled struct.
184  * Such structs in FFmpeg are e.g. AVCodecContext in libavcodec or
185  * AVFormatContext in libavformat.
186  *
187  * @subsection avoptions_use_examine Examining AVOptions
188  * The basic functions for examining options are av_opt_next(), which iterates
189  * over all options defined for one object, and av_opt_find(), which searches
190  * for an option with the given name.
191  *
192  * The situation is more complicated with nesting. An AVOptions-enabled struct
193  * may have AVOptions-enabled children. Passing the AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN flag
194  * to av_opt_find() will make the function search children recursively.
195  *
196  * For enumerating there are basically two cases. The first is when you want to
197  * get all options that may potentially exist on the struct and its children
198  * (e.g.  when constructing documentation). In that case you should call
199  * av_opt_child_class_iterate() recursively on the parent struct's AVClass.  The
200  * second case is when you have an already initialized struct with all its
201  * children and you want to get all options that can be actually written or read
202  * from it. In that case you should call av_opt_child_next() recursively (and
203  * av_opt_next() on each result).
204  *
205  * @subsection avoptions_use_get_set Reading and writing AVOptions
206  * When setting options, you often have a string read directly from the
207  * user. In such a case, simply passing it to av_opt_set() is enough. For
208  * non-string type options, av_opt_set() will parse the string according to the
209  * option type.
210  *
211  * Similarly av_opt_get() will read any option type and convert it to a string
212  * which will be returned. Do not forget that the string is allocated, so you
213  * have to free it with av_free().
214  *
215  * In some cases it may be more convenient to put all options into an
216  * AVDictionary and call av_opt_set_dict() on it. A specific case of this
217  * are the format/codec open functions in lavf/lavc which take a dictionary
218  * filled with option as a parameter. This makes it possible to set some options
219  * that cannot be set otherwise, since e.g. the input file format is not known
220  * before the file is actually opened.
