30 * Blocks of binary data.
32 * @ref block_t is a generic structure to represent a binary blob within VLC.
33 * The primary goal of the structure is to avoid memory copying as data is
34 * passed around. It is notably used between the \ref demux, the packetizer
35 * (if present) and the \ref decoder, and for audio, between the \ref decoder,
36 * the audio filters, and the \ref audio_output.
