  * @deprecated
  *  AVDictionary is provided for compatibility with libav. It is both in
ca699ac2
  *  implementation as well as API inefficient. It does not scale and is
  *  extremely slow with large dictionaries.
  *  It is recommended that new code uses our tree container from tree.c/h
34ab23f2
  *  where applicable, which uses AVL trees to achieve O(log n) performance.

  *
8c28e01d
  * @{
  * Dictionaries are used for storing key:value pairs. To create
  * an AVDictionary, simply pass an address of a NULL pointer to
  * av_dict_set(). NULL can be used as an empty dictionary wherever
  * a pointer to an AVDictionary is required.
  * Use av_dict_get() to retrieve an entry or iterate over all
  * entries and finally av_dict_free() to free the dictionary
  * and all its contents.
