/**
* @defgroup dict_api Public Dictionary API
* @{
* 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
