     22  * This file describes the interface between an application and a
     23  * video codec algorithm.
     24  *
     25  * An application instantiates a specific codec instance by using
     26  * vpx_codec_init() and a pointer to the algorithm's interface structure:
     27  *     <pre>
     28  *     my_app.c:
     29  *       extern vpx_codec_iface_t my_codec;
     30  *       {
     31  *           vpx_codec_ctx_t algo;
     32  *           res = vpx_codec_init(&algo, &my_codec);
     33  *       }
     34  *     </pre>
     35  *
     36  * Once initialized, the instance is manged using other functions from
     37  * the vpx_codec_* family.
