| 15 | |
| 16 | The libavutil library is a utility library to aid portable |
| 17 | multimedia programming. It contains safe portable string functions, |
| 18 | random number generators, data structures, additional mathematics |
| 19 | functions, cryptography and multimedia related functionality (like |
| 20 | enumerations for pixel and sample formats). It is not a library for |
| 21 | code needed by both libavcodec and libavformat. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The goals for this library is to be: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | @table @strong |
| 26 | @item Modular |
| 27 | It should have few interdependencies and the possibility of disabling individual |
| 28 | parts during @command{./configure}. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | @item Small |
| 31 | Both sources and objects should be small. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | @item Efficient |
| 34 | It should have low CPU and memory usage. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | @item Useful |
| 37 | It should avoid useless features that almost no one needs. |
