FFmpeg常用结构体分析（一）：AVFormatContext

AVFormatContext是存储音视频封装格式中包含的信息的结构体，也是FFmpeg中统领全局的结构体，对文件的封装、编码操作从这里开始。

其中，我们常用的成员有：

struct AVInputFormat* iformat;	//输入数据的封装格式

AVIOContext *pb; 			// 输入数据的缓存

unsigned int nb_streams;	//音视频流个数

AVStream** streams;			//音视频流

int64_t duration;			//时长（us）

int bit_rate;				//比特率(bps)

AVDictionary *metadata; 	// 元数据

更详细的AVFormatContext定义如下：

/**
 * Format I/O context.
 * New fields can be added to the end with minor version bumps.
 * Removal, reordering and changes to existing fields require a major
 * version bump.
 * sizeof(AVFormatContext) must not be used outside libav*, use
 * avformat_alloc_context() to create an AVFormatContext.
 *
 * Fields can be accessed through AVOptions (av_opt*),
 * the name string used matches the associated command line parameter name and
 * can be found in libavformat/options_table.h.
 * The AVOption/command line parameter names differ in some cases from the C
 * structure field names for historic reasons or brevity.

typedef struct AVFormatContext {
