| Special devices muxing/demuxing library | Libavdevice is a complementary library to libavformat |
| ▼I/O and Muxing/Demuxing Library | Libavformat (lavf) is a library for dealing with various media container formats |
| Demuxing | Demuxers read a media file and split it into chunks of data (packets) |

| Public Metadata API | The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client application when demuxing |
| Core functions | Functions for querying libavformat capabilities, allocating core structures, etc |
| ▼Utility functions | Miscelaneous utility functions related to both muxing and demuxing (or neither) |
| RIFF FourCCs | Get the tables mapping RIFF FourCCs to libavcodec CodecIDs |
| ▼Common utility functions | Libavutil contains the code shared across all the other Libav libraries |

| ▼Data Structures | |
| ▼AVOptions | AVOptions provide a generic system to declare options on arbitrary structs ("objects") |
| Evaluating option strings | This group of functions can be used to evaluate option strings and get numbers out of them |
| Option setting functions | Those functions set the field of obj with the given name to value |
| Option getting functions | Those functions get a value of the option with the given name from an object |
| AVDictionary | Simple key:value store |
| AVTree | Low complexity tree container |

| Internal | Not exported functions, for internal usage only |
| Preprocessor String Macros | String manipulation macros |
| Library Version Macros | Useful to check and match library version in order to maintain backward compatibility |
| Version and Build diagnostics | Macros and function useful to check at compiletime and at runtime which version of libavutil is in use |
| Deprecation guards | Those FF_API_* defines are not part of public API |
