Detailed Description

Rational number calculation.

While rational numbers can be expressed as floating-point numbers, the conversion process is a lossy one, so are floating-point operations. On the other hand, the nature of FFmpeg demands highly accurate calculation of timestamps. This set of rational number utilities serves as a generic interface for manipulating rational numbers as pairs of numerators and denominators.

Many of the functions that operate on AVRational's have the suffix _q, in reference to the mathematical symbol "ℚ" (Q) which denotes the set of all rational numbers.
