     32  * @section ffmpeg_intro Introduction
     33  *
     34  * This document describes the usage of the different libraries
     35  * provided by FFmpeg.
     36  *
     37  * @li @ref libavc "libavcodec" encoding/decoding library
     38  * @li @ref lavfi "libavfilter" graph-based frame editing library
     39  * @li @ref libavf "libavformat" I/O and muxing/demuxing library
     40  * @li @ref lavd "libavdevice" special devices muxing/demuxing library
     41  * @li @ref lavu "libavutil" common utility library
     42  * @li @ref lswr "libswresample" audio resampling, format conversion and mixing
     43  * @li @ref lpp  "libpostproc" post processing library
     44  * @li @ref lsws "libswscale" color conversion and scaling library
     45  *
     46  * @section ffmpeg_versioning Versioning and compatibility
     47  *
     48  * Each of the FFmpeg libraries contains a version.h header, which defines a
     49  * major, minor and micro version number with the
     50  * <em>LIBRARYNAME_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}</em> macros. The major version
     51  * number is incremented with backward incompatible changes - e.g. removing
     52  * parts of the public API, reordering public struct members, etc. The minor
     53  * version number is incremented for backward compatible API changes or major
     54  * new features - e.g. adding a new public function or a new decoder. The micro
     55  * version number is incremented for smaller changes that a calling program
     56  * might still want to check for - e.g. changing behavior in a previously
     57  * unspecified situation.
     58  *
     59  * FFmpeg guarantees backward API and ABI compatibility for each library as long
     60  * as its major version number is unchanged. This means that no public symbols
     61  * will be removed or renamed. Types and names of the public struct members and
     62  * values of public macros and enums will remain the same (unless they were
     63  * explicitly declared as not part of the public API). Documented behavior will
     64  * not change.
     65  *
     66  * In other words, any correct program that works with a given FFmpeg snapshot
     67  * should work just as well without any changes with any later snapshot with the
     68  * same major versions. This applies to both rebuilding the program against new
     69  * FFmpeg versions or to replacing the dynamic FFmpeg libraries that a program
     70  * links against.
     71  *
     72  * However, new public symbols may be added and new members may be appended to
     73  * public structs whose size is not part of public ABI (most public structs in
     74  * FFmpeg). New macros and enum values may be added. Behavior in undocumented
     75  * situations may change slightly (and be documented). All those are accompanied
     76  * by an entry in doc/APIchanges and incrementing either the minor or micro
     77  * version number.
