@ -129,6 +129,20 @@ The ff* tools default to the file protocol, that is a resource
specified with the name "FILE.mpeg" is interpreted as the URL
"file:FILE.mpeg".
This protocol accepts the following options:
@table @option
@item truncate
Truncate existing files on write, if set to 1. A value of 0 prevents
truncating. Default value is 1.
@item blocksize
Set I/O operation maximum block size, in bytes. Default value is
@code{INT_MAX}, which results in not limiting the requested block size.
Setting this value reasonably low improves user termination request reaction
time, which is valuable for files on slow medium.
@end table
@section ftp
FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
