 *

 * @brief Simple key:value store

 *

 * @{

 * Dictionaries are used for storing key:value pairs. To create

 * an AVDictionary, simply pass an address of a NULL pointer to

 * av_dict_set(). NULL can be used as an empty dictionary wherever

 * a pointer to an AVDictionary is required.

 * Use av_dict_get() to retrieve an entry or iterate over all

 * entries and finally av_dict_free() to free the dictionary

 * and all its contents.

 *

 * @code

 * AVDictionary *d = NULL;                // "create" an empty dictionary

 * av_dict_set(&d, "foo", "bar", 0);      // add an entry

 *

 * char *k = av_strdup("key");            // if your strings are already allocated,

 * char *v = av_strdup("value");          // you can avoid copying them like this

 * av_dict_set(&d, k, v, AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_KEY | AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_VAL);

 *

 * AVDictionaryEntry *t = NULL;

 * while (t = av_dict_get(d, "", t, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX)) {

 *     <....>                             // iterate over all entries in d

 * }

 *

 * av_dict_free(&d);

 * @endcode
