Kódecik

Kódecik is a term that can refer to a small piece of code or a function, often designed for a specific purpose within a larger software system. It is generally a miniaturized version of a codec, which in computing is a device or program that encodes or decodes a digital data stream or signal. These "kódeciks" are typically used in multimedia applications for processing audio, video, or other forms of digital media.

The primary function of a kódecik is to compress or decompress data. This compression is crucial for reducing file sizes, making it easier to store and transmit digital media efficiently. Decompression, on the other hand, allows the original data to be reconstructed from its compressed form, enabling playback or display. The specific algorithms used by a kódecik determine the quality of the compression and decompression, as well as the resulting file size.

In some contexts, "kódecik" might also be used informally to describe a small, reusable code snippet that performs a minor, specialized task, not necessarily related to media encoding. This could be a utility function, a small script, or a particular module within a program. The term emphasizes its small size and focused functionality. The exact meaning can vary depending on the specific technical domain or community using the term.
