34  * @ingroup libavc
35  *
36  * Bitstream filters transform encoded media data without decoding it. This
37  * allows e.g. manipulating various header values. Bitstream filters operate on
38  * @ref AVPacket "AVPackets".
39  *
40  * The bitstream filtering API is centered around two structures:
41  * AVBitStreamFilter and AVBSFContext. The former represents a bitstream filter
42  * in abstract, the latter a specific filtering process. Obtain an
43  * AVBitStreamFilter using av_bsf_get_by_name() or av_bsf_iterate(), then pass
44  * it to av_bsf_alloc() to create an AVBSFContext. Fill in the user-settable
45  * AVBSFContext fields, as described in its documentation, then call
46  * av_bsf_init() to prepare the filter context for use.
47  *
48  * Submit packets for filtering using av_bsf_send_packet(), obtain filtered
49  * results with av_bsf_receive_packet(). When no more input packets will be
50  * sent, submit a NULL AVPacket to signal the end of the stream to the filter.
51  * av_bsf_receive_packet() will then return trailing packets, if any are
52  * produced by the filter.
53  *
54  * Finally, free the filter context with av_bsf_free().
55  * @{
