+ * @deprecated
+ *  AVDictionary is provided for compatibility with libav. It is both in
+ *  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
+ *  where applicable, which uses AVL trees to achieve O(log n) performance.

+ * @brief Simple key:value store
+ *
+ * @{
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * AVDictionary *d = NULL;                // "create" an empty dictionary
+ * av_dict_set(&d, "foo", "bar", 0);      // add an entry
+ *
+ * char *k = av_strdup("key");            // if your strings are already allocated,
+ * char *v = av_strdup("value");          // you can avoid copying them like this
+ * av_dict_set(&d, k, v, AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_KEY | AV_DICT_DONT_STRDUP_VAL);
+ *
+ * AVDictionaryEntry *t = NULL;
+ * while (t = av_dict_get(d, "", t, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX)) {
+ *     <....>                             // iterate over all entries in d
+ * }
+ *
+ * av_dict_free(&d);
+ * @endcode
