23  *  AVDictionary is provided for compatibility with libav. It is both in
24  *  implementation as well as API inefficient. It does not scale and is
25  *  extremely slow with large dictionaries.
26  *  It is recommended that new code uses our tree container from tree.c/h
27  *  where applicable, which uses AVL trees to achieve O(log n) performance.

39  * @brief Simple key:value store
40  *
41  * @{
42  * Dictionaries are used for storing key:value pairs. To create
43  * an AVDictionary, simply pass an address of a NULL pointer to
44  * av_dict_set(). NULL can be used as an empty dictionary wherever
45  * a pointer to an AVDictionary is required.
46  * Use av_dict_get() to retrieve an entry or iterate over all
47  * entries and finally av_dict_free() to free the dictionary
48  * and all its contents.
49  *
50  @code
51    AVDictionary *d = NULL;           // "create" an empty dictionary
52    AVDictionaryEntry *t = NULL;

54    av_dict_set(&d, "foo", "bar", 0); // add an entry
55 
56    char *k = av_strdup("key");       // if your strings are already allocated,
57    char *v = av_strdup("value");     // you can avoid copying them like this
58    av_dict_set(&d, k, v, AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_KEY | AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_VAL);
