The major version * number is incremented with backward incompatible changes - e.g. removing * parts of the public API, reordering public struct members, etc. The minor * version number is incremented for backward compatible API changes or major * new features - e.g. adding a new public function or a new decoder. The micro * version number is incremented for smaller changes that a calling program * might still want to check for - e.g. changing behavior in a previously * unspecified situation. * * FFmpeg guarantees backward API and ABI compatibility for each library as long * as its major version number is unchanged. This means that no public symbols * will be removed or renamed. Types and names of the public struct members and * values of public macros and enums will remain the same (unless they were * explicitly declared as not part of the public API). Documented behavior will * not change. * * In other words, any correct program that works with a given FFmpeg snapshot * should work just as well without any changes with any later snapshot with the * same major versions. This applies to both rebuilding the program against new * FFmpeg versions or to replacing the dynamic FFmpeg libraries that a program * links against. * * However, new public symbols may be added and new members may be appended to * public structs whose size is not part of public ABI (most public structs in * FFmpeg). New macros and enum values may be added. Behavior in undocumented * situations may change slightly (and be documented). All those are accompanied * by an entry in doc/APIchanges and incrementing either the minor or micro * version number. */ /** * @defgroup lavu Common utility functions * * @brief * libavutil contains the code shared across all the other FFmpeg * libraries * * @note In order to use the functions provided by avutil you must include * the specific header. * * @{ * * @defgroup lavu_crypto Crypto and Hashing * * @{ * @} * * @defgroup lavu_math Maths * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_string String Manipulation * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_mem Memory Management * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_data Data Structures * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_audio Audio related * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_error Error Codes * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_log Logging Facility * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup lavu_misc Other * * @{ * * @defgroup lavu_internal Internal * * Not exported functions, for internal usage only * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup preproc_misc Preprocessor String Macros * * @{ * * @} * * @defgroup version_utils Library Version Macros * * @{ * * @} */ /** * @addtogroup lavu_ver * @{ */ /** * Return the LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT constant. */ unsigned avutil_version(void); /** * Return an informative version string.
