libvlccore is the core part of VLC. It is the heart of VLC, powering the LibVLC library and providing the internal infrastructure for a lot of functionality such as stream access, audio and video output, plugin handling, a thread system. All the libvlccore source files are located in the src/ directory and its subdirectories:
