Data Types

The Compressor Name List Structure

The compressor name list structure contains a list of compressor name structures. (A compressor name structure identifies a compressor or decompressor component.) The data structure contains name and type information for the component. The GetCodecNameList function returns an array of these structures, formatted into a compressor name list structure. See page 3-57 for more information on the GetCodecNameList function. The CodecNameSpecList data type defines a compressor name list structure.

/* compressor name list structure */
struct CodecNameSpecList {
   short count;   /* how many compressor name structures */
   CodecNameSpec list[1];  
                  /* array of compressor name structures */
};
typedef struct CodecNameSpecList CodecNameSpecList;
typedef CodecNameSpecList *CodecNameSpecListPtr;

Field Description
