841    *
842    * Sets the buffer that the codec should output the compressed data
843    * into. This call effectively sets the buffer pointer returned in the
844    * next VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT packet. Subsequent packets will be
845    * appended into this buffer. The buffer is preserved across frames,
846    * so applications must periodically call this function after flushing
847    * the accumulated compressed data to disk or to the network to reset
848    * the pointer to the buffer's head.
849    *
850    * `pad_before` bytes will be skipped before writing the compressed
851    * data, and `pad_after` bytes will be appended to the packet. The size
852    * of the packet will be the sum of the size of the actual compressed
853    * data, pad_before, and pad_after. The padding bytes will be preserved
854    * (not overwritten).
855    *
856    * Note that calling this function does not guarantee that the returned
857    * compressed data will be placed into the specified buffer. In the
858    * event that the encoded data will not fit into the buffer provided,
859    * the returned packet \ref MAY point to an internal buffer, as it would
860    * if this call were never used. In this event, the output packet will
861    * NOT have any padding, and the application must free space and copy it
862    * to the proper place. This is of particular note in configurations
863    * that may output multiple packets for a single encoded frame (e.g., lagged
864    * encoding) or if the application does not reset the buffer periodically.

867    * the compressed data buffer by calling this function with a NULL
868    * buffer.
