37        @remarks
38            A codec class works like a two-way filter for data - data entered on
39            one end (the decode end) gets processed and transformed into easily
40            usable data while data passed the other way around codes it back.
41        @par
42            The codec concept is a pretty generic one - you can easily understand
43            how it can be used for images, sounds, archives, even compressed data.
