/**
* @addtogroup lavc_core
* @defgroup lavc_bsf Bitstream filters
* @ingroup libavc
*
* Bitstream filters transform encoded media data without decoding it. This
* allows e.g. manipulating various header values. Bitstream filters operate on
* @ref AVPacket "AVPackets".
*
* The bitstream filtering API is centered around two structures:
* AVBitStreamFilter and AVBSFContext. The former represents a bitstream filter
* in abstract, the latter a specific filtering process. Obtain an
* AVBitStreamFilter using av_bsf_get_by_name() or av_bsf_iterate(), then pass
* it to av_bsf_alloc() to create an AVBSFContext. Fill in the user-settable
* AVBSFContext fields, as described in its documentation, then call
* av_bsf_init() to prepare the filter context for use.
*
* Submit packets for filtering using av_bsf_send_packet(), obtain filtered
* results with av_bsf_receive_packet(). When no more input packets will be
* sent, submit a NULL AVPacket to signal the end of the stream to the filter.
* av_bsf_receive_packet() will then return trailing packets, if any are
* produced by the filter.
*
* Finally, free the filter context with av_bsf_free().
