Name of the codec implementation.

The name is globally unique among encoders and among decoders (but an encoder and a decoder can share the same name). This is the primary way to find a codec from the user perspective.

Descriptive name for the codec, meant to be more human readable than name.

You should use the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL() macro to define it.

If the codec allocates writable tables in init(), re-allocate them here. priv_data will be set to a copy of the original.

Copy necessary context variables from a previous thread context to the current one.

If not defined, the next thread will start automatically; otherwise, the codec must call ff_thread_finish_setup().

dst and src will (rarely) point to the same context, in which case memcpy should be skipped.

Parameters
