38  * @defgroup avoptions AVOptions

40  * @{
41  * AVOptions provide a generic system to declare options on arbitrary structs
42  * ("objects"). An option can have a help text, a type and a range of possible
43  * values. Options may then be enumerated, read and written to.
44  *
45  * @section avoptions_implement Implementing AVOptions
46  * This section describes how to add AVOptions capabilities to a struct.
47  *
48  * All AVOptions-related information is stored in an AVClass. Therefore
49  * the first member of the struct should be a pointer to an AVClass describing it.
50  * The option field of the AVClass must be set to a NULL-terminated static array
51  * of AVOptions. Each AVOption must have a non-empty name, a type, a default
52  * value and for number-type AVOptions also a range of allowed values. It must
53  * also declare an offset in bytes from the start of the struct, where the field
54  * associated with this AVOption is located. Other fields in the AVOption struct
55  * should also be set when applicable, but are not required.
56  *
57  * The following example illustrates an AVOptions-enabled struct:
58  * @code
59  * typedef struct test_struct {
60  * AVClass *class;
61  * int int_opt;
62  * char *str_opt;
63  * uint8_t *bin_opt;
64  * int bin_len;
65  * } test_struct;
66  *
67  * static const AVOption test_options[] = {
68  * { "test_int", "This is a test option of int type.", offsetof(test_struct, int_opt),
69  * AV_OPT_TYPE_INT, { .i64 = -1 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX },
70  * { "test_str", "This is a test option of string type.", offsetof(test_struct, str_opt),
71  * AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING },
72  * { "test_bin", "This is a test option of binary type.", offsetof(test_struct, bin_opt),
73  * AV_OPT_TYPE_BINARY },
74  * { NULL },
75  * };
76  *
77  * static const AVClass test_class = {
78  * .class_name = "test class",
79  * .item_name = av_default_item_name,
80  * .option = test_options,
81  * .version = LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT,
82  * };
83  * @endcode
84  *
85  * Next, when allocating your struct, you must ensure that the AVClass pointer
86  * is set to the correct value. Then, av_opt_set_defaults() can be called to
87  * initialize defaults. After that the struct is ready to be used with the
88  * AVOptions API.
89  *
90  * When cleaning up, you may use the av_opt_free() function to automatically
91  * free all the allocated string and binary options.
92  *
93  * Continuing with the above example:
94  *
95  * @code
96  * test_struct *alloc_test_struct(void)
97  * {
98  * test_struct *ret = av_malloc(sizeof(*ret));
99  * ret->class = &test_class;
100  * av_opt_set_defaults(ret);
101  * return ret;
102  * }
103  * void free_test_struct(test_struct **foo)
104  * {
105  * av_opt_free(*foo);
106  * av_freep(foo);
107  * }
108  * @endcode
109  *
110  * @subsection avoptions_implement_nesting Nesting
111  * It may happen that an AVOptions-enabled struct contains another
112  * AVOptions-enabled struct as a member (e.g. AVCodecContext in
113  * libavcodec exports generic options, while its priv_data field exports
114  * codec-specific options). In such a case, it is possible to set up the
115  * parent struct to export a child's options. To do that, simply
116  * implement AVClass.child_next() and AVClass.child_class_next() in the
117  * parent struct's AVClass.
118  * Assuming that the test_struct from above now also contains a
119  * child_struct field:
120  *
121  * @code
122  * typedef struct child_struct {
123  * AVClass *class;
124  * int flags_opt;
125  * } child_struct;
126  * static const AVOption child_opts[] = {
127  * { "test_flags", "This is a test option of flags type.",
128  * offsetof(child_struct, flags_opt), AV_OPT_TYPE_FLAGS, { .i64 = 0 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX },
129  * { NULL },
130  * };
131  * static const AVClass child_class = {
132  * .class_name = "child class",
133  * .item_name = av_default_item_name,
134  * .option = child_opts,
135  * .version = LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT,
136  * };
137  *
138  * void *child_next(void *obj, void *prev)
139  * {
140  * test_struct *t = obj;
141  * if (!prev && t->child_struct)
142  * return t->child_struct;
143  * return NULL
144  * }
145  * const AVClass child_class_next(const AVClass *prev)
146  * {
147  * return prev ? NULL : &child_class;
148  * }
149  * @endcode
150  * Putting child_next() and child_class_next() as defined above into
151  * test_class will now make child_struct's options accessible through
152  * test_struct (again, proper setup as described above needs to be done on
153  * child_struct right after it is created).
154  *
155  * From the above example it might not be clear why both child_next()
156  * and child_class_next() are needed. The distinction is that child_next()
157  * iterates over actually existing objects, while child_class_next()
158  * iterates over all possible child classes. E.g. if an AVCodecContext
159  * was initialized to use a codec which has private options, then its
160  * child_next() will return AVCodecContext.priv_data and finish
161  * iterating. OTOH child_class_next() on AVCodecContext.av_class will
162  * iterate over all available codecs with private options.
163  *
164  * @subsection avoptions_implement_named_constants Named constants
165  * It is possible to create named constants for options. Simply set the unit
166  * field of the option the constants should apply to a string and
167  * create the constants themselves as options of type AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST
168  * with their unit field set to the same string.
169  * Their default_val field should contain the value of the named
170  * constant.
171  * For example, to add some named constants for the test_flags option
172  * above, put the following into the child_opts array:
173  * @code
174  * { "test_flags", "This is a test option of flags type.",
175  * offsetof(child_struct, flags_opt), AV_OPT_TYPE_FLAGS, { .i64 = 0 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX, "test_unit" },
176  * { "flag1", "This is a flag with value 16", 0, AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST, { .i64 = 16 }, 0, 0, "test_unit" },
177  * @endcode
178  *
179  * @section avoptions_use Using AVOptions
180  * This section deals with accessing options in an AVOptions-enabled struct.
181  * Such structs in FFmpeg are e.g. AVCodecContext in libavcodec or
182  * AVFormatContext in libavformat.
183  *
184  * @subsection avoptions_use_examine Examining AVOptions
185  * The basic functions for examining options are av_opt_next(), which iterates
186  * over all options defined for one object, and av_opt_find(), which searches
187  * for an option with the given name.
188  *
189  * The situation is more complicated with nesting. An AVOptions-enabled struct
190  * may have AVOptions-enabled children. Passing the AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN flag
191  * to av_opt_find() will make the function search children recursively.
192  *
193  * For enumerating there are basically two cases. The first is when you want to
194  * get all options that may potentially exist on the struct and its children
195  * (e.g. when constructing documentation). In that case you should call
196  * av_opt_child_class_next() recursively on the parent struct's AVClass. The
197  * second case is when you have an already initialized struct with all its
198  * children and you want to get all options that can be actually written or read
199  * from it. In that case you should call av_opt_child_next() recursively (and
200  * av_opt_next() on each result).
201  *
202  * @subsection avoptions_use_get_set Reading and writing AVOptions
203  * When setting options, you often have a string read directly from the
204  * user. In such a case, simply passing it to av_opt_set() is enough. For
205  * non-string type options, av_opt_set() will parse the string according to the
206  * option type.
207  *
208  * Similarly av_opt_get() will read any option type and convert it to a string
209  * which will be returned. Do not forget that the string is allocated, so you
210  * have to free it with av_free().
211  *
212  * In some cases it may be more convenient to put all options into an
213  * AVDictionary and call av_opt_set_dict() on it. A specific case of this
214  * are the format/codec open functions in lavf/lavc which take a dictionary
215  * filled with option as a parameter. This allows to set some options
216  * that cannot be set otherwise, since e.g. the input file format is not known
217  * before the file is actually opened.
