39 * @defgroup avoptions AVOptions
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.
46 * @section avoptions_implement Implementing AVOptions
47 * This section describes how to add AVOptions capabilities to a struct.
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.
58 * The following example illustrates an AVOptions-enabled struct:
60 * typedef struct test_struct {
61 * const AVClass *class;
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 },
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,
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
91 * When cleaning up, you may use the av_opt_free() function to automatically
92 * free all the allocated string and binary options.
94 * Continuing with the above example:
97 * test_struct *alloc_test_struct(void)
99 * test_struct *ret = av_mallocz(sizeof(*ret));
100 * ret->class = &test_class;
101 * av_opt_set_defaults(ret);
104 * void free_test_struct(test_struct **foo)
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_next() in the
118 * parent struct's AVClass.
119 * Assuming that the test_struct from above now also contains a
120 * child_struct field:
123 * typedef struct 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 },
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,
139 * void *child_next(void *obj, void *prev)
141 * test_struct *t = obj;
142 * if (!prev && t->child_struct)
143 * return t->child_struct;
146 * const AVClass child_class_next(const AVClass *prev)
148 * return prev ? NULL : &child_class;
151 * Putting child_next() and child_class_next() as defined above into
152 * test_class will now make child_struct's options accessible through
153 * test_struct (again, proper setup as described above needs to be done on
154 * child_struct right after it is created).
156 * From the above example it might not be clear why both child_next()
157 * and child_class_next() are needed. The distinction is that child_next()
158 * iterates over actually existing objects, while child_class_next()
159 * iterates over all possible child classes. E.g. if an AVCodecContext
160 * was initialized to use a codec which has private options, then its
161 * child_next() will return AVCodecContext.priv_data and finish
162 * iterating. OTOH child_class_next() on AVCodecContext.av_class will
163 * iterate over all available codecs with private options.
165 * @subsection avoptions_implement_named_constants Named constants
166 * It is possible to create named constants for options. Simply set the unit
167 * field of the option the constants should apply to a string and
168 * create the constants themselves as options of type AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST
169 * with their unit field set to the same string.
170 * Their default_val field should contain the value of the named
172 * For example, to add some named constants for the test_flags option
173 * above, put the following into the child_opts array:
175 * { "test_flags", "This is a test option of flags type.",
176 * offsetof(child_struct, flags_opt), AV_OPT_TYPE_FLAGS, { .i64 = 0 }, INT_MIN, INT_MAX, "test_unit" },
177 * { "flag1", "This is a flag with value 16", 0, AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST, { .i64 = 16 }, 0, 0, "test_unit" },
180 * @section avoptions_use Using AVOptions
181 * This section deals with accessing options in an AVOptions-enabled struct.
182 * Such structs in FFmpeg are e.g. AVCodecContext in libavcodec or
183 * AVFormatContext in libavformat.
185 * @subsection avoptions_use_examine Examining AVOptions
186 * The basic functions for examining options are av_opt_next(), which iterates
187 * over all options defined for one object, and av_opt_find(), which searches
188 * for an option with the given name.
190 * The situation is more complicated with nesting. An AVOptions-enabled struct
191 * may have AVOptions-enabled children. Passing the AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN flag
192 * to av_opt_find() will make the function search children recursively.
194 * For enumerating there are basically two cases. The first is when you want to
195 * get all options that may potentially exist on the struct and its children
196 * (e.g. when constructing documentation). In that case you should call
197 * av_opt_child_class_next() recursively on the parent struct's AVClass. The
198 * second case is when you have an already initialized struct with all its
199 * children and you want to get all options that can be actually written or read
200 * from it. In that case you should call av_opt_child_next() recursively (and
201 * av_opt_next() on each result).
203 * @subsection avoptions_use_get_set Reading and writing AVOptions
204 * When setting options, you often have a string read directly from the
205 * user. In such a case, simply passing it to av_opt_set() is enough. For
206 * non-string type options, av_opt_set() will parse the string according to the
209 * Similarly av_opt_get() will read any option type and convert it to a string
210 * which will be returned. Do not forget that the string is allocated, so you
211 * have to free it with av_free().
213 * In some cases it may be more convenient to put all options into an
214 * AVDictionary and call av_opt_set_dict() on it. A specific case of this
215 * are the format/codec open functions in lavf/lavc which take a dictionary
216 * filled with option as a parameter. This makes it possible to set some options
217 * that cannot be set otherwise, since e.g. the input file format is not known
218 * before the file is actually opened.
