class YoutubeDL(object):
    """YoutubeDL class.

    YoutubeDL objects are the ones responsible of downloading the
    actual video file and writing it to disk if the user has requested
    it, among some other tasks. In most cases there should be one per
    program. As, given a video URL, the downloader doesn't know how to
    extract all the needed information, task that InfoExtractors do, it
    has to pass the URL to one of them.

    For this, YoutubeDL objects have a method that allows
    InfoExtractors to be registered in a given order. When it is passed
    a URL, the YoutubeDL object handles it to the first InfoExtractor it
    finds that reports being able to handle it. The InfoExtractor extracts
    all the information about the video or videos the URL refers to, and
    YoutubeDL process the extracted information, possibly using a File
    Downloader to download the video.

    YoutubeDL objects accept a lot of parameters. In order not to saturate
    the object constructor with arguments, it receives a dictionary of
    options instead. These options are available through the params
    attribute for the InfoExtractors to use. The YoutubeDL also
    registers itself as the downloader in charge for the InfoExtractors
    that are added to it, so this is a "mutual registration".

    Available options:

    username:          Username for authentication purposes.
    password:          Password for authentication purposes.
    videopassword:     Password for acces a video.
    usenetrc:          Use netrc for authentication instead.
    verbose:           Print additional info to stdout.
    quiet:             Do not print messages to stdout.
    forceurl:          Force printing final URL.
    forcetitle:        Force printing title.
    forceid:           Force printing ID.
    forcethumbnail:    Force printing thumbnail URL.
    forcedescription:  Force printing description.
    forcefilename:     Force printing final filename.
    simulate:          Do not download the video files.
    format:            Video format code.
    format_limit:      Highest quality format to try.
    outtmpl:           Template for output names.
    restrictfilenames: Do not allow "&" and spaces in file names
    ignoreerrors:      Do not stop on download errors.
    nooverwrites:      Prevent overwriting files.
    playliststart:     Playlist item to start at.
    playlistend:       Playlist item to end at.
    matchtitle:        Download only matching titles.
    rejecttitle:       Reject downloads for matching titles.
    logtostderr:       Log messages to stderr instead of stdout.
    writedescription:  Write the video description to a .description file
    writeinfojson:     Write the video description to a .info.json file
    writeannotations:  Write the video annotations to a .annotations.xml file
    writethumbnail:    Write the thumbnail image to a file

    writeautomaticsub: Write the automatic subtitles to a file
    allsubtitles:      Downloads all the subtitles of the video
                       (requires writesubtitles or writeautomaticsub)
    listsubtitles:     Lists all available subtitles for the video
    subtitlesformat:   Subtitle format [srt/sbv/vtt] (default=srt)
    subtitleslangs:    List of languages of the subtitles to download
    keepvideo:         Keep the video file after post-processing
    daterange:         A DateRange object, download only if the upload_date is in the range.
    skip_download:     Skip the actual download of the video file
    cachedir:          Location of the cache files in the filesystem.
                       None to disable filesystem cache.
    noplaylist:        Download single video instead of a playlist if in doubt.
    age_limit:         An integer representing the user's age in years.
                       Unsuitable videos for the given age are skipped.
    downloadarchive:   File name of a file where all downloads are recorded.
                       Videos already present in the file are not downloaded
                       again.
