【结构体】AVFormatContext结构体分析

后面分析源码时会陆陆续续补充

一、定义说明

• AVFormatContext实现位于avformat.h中
• 音视频数据,也就是音视频文件（通常接触到的mp3/mp4等文件）的一种抽象和封装，该文件中包含了多路流，包括音频流、视频流、字幕流等。该结构体的使用，贯穿了ffmpeg使用的整个流程
• AVFormatContext结构表示程序运行的当前文件容器格式使用的上下文，着重于所有文件容器共有的属性（并且是程序运行时才能确定其值）和关联其他结构体的字段。

1.1主要成员解析

• iformat字段关联相应的文件容器格式
• pb关联广义的输入文件
• streams关联音视频流
• priv_data关联各个具体文件容器独有的属性上下文，和priv_data_size配对使用

typedef struct AVFormatContext {
    const struct AVInputFormat *iformat;
	
	void *priv_data;
	
    AVIOContext *pb;
	
    unsigned int nb_streams;

    AVStream **streams;
