Below are descriptions for data types commonly used in C-programming relevant to VLC.
- Integer
- Any whole-number value, e.g. -25 or 655
- Boolean
- A "toggle switch" value that is either true or false (sometimes seen as 1 or 0)
- String
- A data type of varying length used to represent words (punctuation is generally permitted), e.g. "foo" or "I'm a sentence."
- Float
- A contraction of floating-point decimal number such as 1.0000 or -20.73
Boolean values may be given on the command-line as --example or --no-example.
