Data Structures
struct	AVDictionaryEntry

Macros
#define	AV_DICT_MATCH_CASE   1
	Only get an entry with exact-case key match. More...
#define	AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX   2
	Return first entry in a dictionary whose first part corresponds to the search key, ignoring the suffix of the found key string. More...
#define	AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_KEY   4
	Take ownership of a key that's been allocated with av_malloc() or another memory allocation function. More...
#define	AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_VAL   8
	Take ownership of a value that's been allocated with av_malloc() or another memory allocation function. More...
#define	AV_DICT_DONT_OVERWRITE   16
	Don't overwrite existing entries. More...
#define	AV_DICT_APPEND   32
	If the entry already exists, append to it. More...
#define	AV_DICT_MULTIKEY   64
	Allow to store several equal keys in the dictionary. More...

Functions
AVDictionaryEntry *	av_dict_get (const AVDictionary *m, const char *key, const AVDictionaryEntry *prev, int flags)
	Get a dictionary entry with matching key. More...
int	av_dict_count (const AVDictionary *m)
	Get number of entries in dictionary. More...
int	av_dict_set (AVDictionary **pm, const char *key, const char *value, int flags)
	Set the given entry in *pm, overwriting an existing entry. More...
int	av_dict_set_int (AVDictionary **pm, const char *key, int64_t value, int flags)
	Convenience wrapper for av_dict_set that converts the value to a string and stores it. More...
int	av_dict_parse_string (AVDictionary **pm, const char *str, const char *key_val_sep, const char *pairs_sep, int flags)
	Parse the key/value pairs list and add the parsed entries to a dictionary. More...
int	av_dict_copy (AVDictionary **dst, const AVDictionary *src, int flags)
	Copy entries from one AVDictionary struct into another. More...
void	av_dict_free (AVDictionary **m)
	Free all the memory allocated for an AVDictionary struct and all keys and values. More...
int	av_dict_get_string (const AVDictionary *m, char **buffer, const char key_val_sep, const char pairs_sep)
	Get dictionary entries as a string. More...

Detailed Description

Public dictionary API.

Deprecated:

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