6 libavutil - multimedia-biased utility library
7
9 The libavutil library is a utility library to aid portable multimedia
10 programming. It contains safe portable string functions, random number
11 generators, data structures, additional mathematics functions,
12 cryptography and multimedia related functionality (like enumerations
13 for pixel and sample formats). It is not a library for code needed by
14 both libavcodec and libavformat.
15
16 The goals for this library is to be:
17
18 Modular
19 It should have few interdependencies and the possibility of
20 disabling individual parts during ./configure.
21
22 Small
23 Both sources and objects should be small.
24
25 Efficient
26 It should have low CPU and memory usage.
27
28 Useful
29 It should avoid useless features that almost no one needs.
