/*!\file
 * \brief Describes the codec algorithm interface to applications.
 *
 * This file describes the interface between an application and a
 * video codec algorithm.
 *
 * An application instantiates a specific codec instance by using
 * vpx_codec_init() and a pointer to the algorithm's interface structure:
 *     <pre>
 *     my_app.c:
 *       extern vpx_codec_iface_t my_codec;
 *       {
 *           vpx_codec_ctx_t algo;
 *           res = vpx_codec_init(&algo, &my_codec);
 *       }
 *     </pre>
 *
 * Once initialized, the instance is manged using other functions from
 * the vpx_codec_* family.
