// This example shows you everything you need to know to implement a
// custom stream filter for encoding and decoding as well as a stream
// data provider that modifies the stream's dictionary. This example
// uses the pattern of having the stream data provider class use a
// second QPDF instance with copies of streams from the original QPDF
// so that the stream data provider can access the original stream
// data. This is implemented very efficiently inside the qpdf library as
// the second QPDF instance knows how to read the stream data from the
// original input file, so no extra copies of the original stream data
// are made.
// This example creates an imaginary filter called /XORDecode. There
// is no such filter in PDF, so the streams created by the example
// would not be usable by any PDF reader. However, the techniques here
// would work if you were going to implement support for a filter that
// qpdf does not support natively. For example, using the techniques
// shown here, it would be possible to create an application that
// downsampled or re-encoded images or that re-compressed streams
// using a more efficient "deflate" implementation than zlib.
// Comments appear throughout the code describing each piece of code
// and its purpose. You can read the file top to bottom, or you can
// start with main() and follow the flow.
// Please also see the test suite, qtest/custom-filter.test, which
// contains additional comments describing how to observe the results
// of running this example on test files that are specifically crafted
// for it.

// * The main application iterates through streams that should be
// replaced and calls registerStream. registerStream in turn
// calls maybeReplace passing nullptr to pipeline and the
// address of a valid QPDFObjectHandle to dict_updates. The
// stream passed in for this call is the stream for the original
// QPDF object. It has not yet been altered, so we have access
// to its original dictionary and data. As described in the
// method, the method when called in this way makes a
// determination as to whether the stream should be replaced. If
// so, registerStream makes whatever changes are required. We
// have to do this now because we can't modify the stream during
// the writing process.
//
// * provideStreamData(), which is called by QPDFWriter during the
// write process, actually writes the modified stream data. It
// calls maybeReplace again, but this time it passes a valid
// pipeline and passes nullptr to dict_updates. In this mode,
// the stream dictionary has already been altered, and the
// original stream data is no longer directly accessible. Trying
// to retrieve the stream data would cause an infinite loop because
// it would just end up calling provideStreamData again. This is
// why maybeReplace uses a stashed copy of the original stream.
// Additional explanation can be found in the method
// implementations.
