When FFmpeg is configured with @code{--enable-opencl}, it is possible
to set the options to set in the global OpenCL context. The list of
supported options follows:
@table @option
@item build_options
Set build options which used to compiled kernels, see reference "OpenCL Specification Version: 1.2 chapter 5.6.4"
@item platform_idx
Select platform to run OpenCL code, the platform_idx is the index of platform
in the device list which can be obtained with av_opencl_get_device_list().
@item device_idx
Select device to run OpenCL code, the device_idx is the index of device in
the device list which can be obtained with av_opencl_get_device_list().

@chapter Syntax
@c man begin SYNTAX
This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg
libraries and tools.
@anchor{quoting_and_escaping}
@section Quoting and escaping
FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:
@itemize
@item
@code{'} and @code{\} are special characters (respectively used for
quoting and escaping). In addition to them, there might be other
special characters depending on the specific syntax where the escaping
and quoting are employed.
@item
A special character is escaped by prefixing it with a '\'.
@item
All characters enclosed between '' are included literally in the
parsed string. The quote character @code{'} itself cannot be quoted,
so you may need to close the quote and escape it.
@item
Leading and trailing whitespaces, unless escaped or quoted, are
removed from the parsed string.
@end itemize
Note that you may need to add a second level of escaping when using
the command line or a script, which depends on the syntax of the
adopted shell language.
The function @code{av_get_token} defined in
@file{libavutil/avstring.h} can be used to parse a token quoted or
escaped according to the rules defined above.
The tool @file{tools/ffescape} in the FFmpeg source tree can be used
to automatically quote or escape a string in a script.
@subsection Examples
@itemize
@item
Escape the string @code{Crime d'Amour} containing the @code{'} special
character:
@example
Crime d\'Amour
@end example
@item
The string above contains a quote, so the @code{'} needs to be escaped
when quoting it:
@example
'Crime d'\''Amour'
@end example
@item
Include leading or trailing whitespaces using quoting:
@example
' this string starts and ends with whitespaces '
@end example
@item
Escaping and quoting can be mixed together:
@example
' The string '\'string\'' is a string '
@end example
@item
To include a literal @code{\} you can use either escaping or quoting:
@example
'c:\foo' can be written as c:\\foo
@end example
@end itemize
@anchor{date syntax}
@section Date
The accepted syntax is:
@example
[(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...]]])|(HHMMSS[.m...]]]))[Z]
now
@end example
If the value is "now" it takes the current time.
Time is local time unless Z is appended, in which case it is
interpreted as UTC.
If the year-month-day part is not specified it takes the current
year-month-day.
@anchor{time duration syntax}
@section Time duration
The accepted syntax is:
@example
[-][HH:]MM:SS[.m...]
[-]S+[.m...]
@end example
@var{HH} expresses the number of hours, @var{MM} the number a of minutes
and @var{SS} the number of seconds.
@anchor{video size syntax}

Specify the size of the sourced video, it may be a string of the form
@var{width}x@var{height}, or the name of a size abbreviation.

@section Video rate
Specify the frame rate of a video, expressed as the number of frames
generated per second. It has to be a string in the format
@var{frame_rate_num}/@var{frame_rate_den}, an integer number, a float
number or a valid video frame rate abbreviation.

@anchor{ratio syntax}
@section Ratio
A ratio can be expressed as an expression, or in the form
@var{numerator}:@var{denominator}.
Note that a ratio with infinite (1/0) or negative value is
considered valid, so you should check on the returned value if you
want to exclude those values.
The undefined value can be expressed using the "0:0" string.
@anchor{color syntax}
@section Color
It can be the name of a color (case insensitive match) or a
[0x|#]RRGGBB[AA] sequence, possibly followed by "@@" and a string
representing the alpha component.
The alpha component may be a string composed by "0x" followed by an
hexadecimal number or a decimal number between 0.0 and 1.0, which
represents the opacity value (0x00/0.0 means completely transparent,
0xff/1.0 completely opaque).
If the alpha component is not specified then 0xff is assumed.
The string "random" will result in a random color.
