Detailed Description

TSDuck execution context containing current preferences.

An instance of this class contains specific contextual information for the execution of TSDuck. This context contains either user's preferences and accumulated contextual information.

Context information include:

Report for log and error messages.
Text output stream.
Default character sets (input and output).
Default CAS id.
Default Private Data Specifier (PDS) for DVB private descriptors.
Accumulated standards from the signalization (MPEG, DVB, ATSC, etc.)
Default region for UHF and VHF frequency layout.

Support is included to define and analyze command line options which define values for the environment.

Unlike DuckConfigFile, this class is not a singleton. More than one context is allowed in the same process as long as the various instances of classes which use DuckContext use only one context at a time. For instance, inside a tsp or tsswitch process, each plugin can use its own context, using different preferences.

The class DuckContext is not thread-safe. It shall be used from one single thread or explicit synchronization is required.
