@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 |
|
@samp{'} and @samp{\} 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 @samp{\}. |
|
|
|
@item |
|
All characters enclosed between @samp{''} are included literally in the |
|
parsed string. The quote character @samp{'} 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 @samp{\} 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 |
|
|
|
There are two accepted syntaxes for expressing time duration. |
|
|
|
@example |
|
[-][@var{HH}:]@var{MM}:@var{SS}[.@var{m}...] |
|
@end example |
|
|
|
@var{HH} expresses the number of hours, @var{MM} the number of minutes |
|
for a maximum of 2 digits, and @var{SS} the number of seconds for a |
|
maximum of 2 digits. The @var{m} at the end expresses decimal value for |
|
@var{SS}. |
|
|
|
@emph{or} |
|
|
|
@example |
|
[-]@var{S}+[.@var{m}...][s|ms|us] |
|
@end example |
|
|
|
@var{S} expresses the number of seconds, with the optional decimal part |
|
@var{m}. The optional literal suffixes @samp{s}, @samp{ms} or @samp{us} |
|
indicate to interpret the value as seconds, milliseconds or microseconds, |
|
respectively. |
|
|
|
In both expressions, the optional @samp{-} indicates negative duration. |
|
|
|
@subsection Examples |
|
|
|
The following examples are all valid time duration: |
|
|
|
@table @samp |
|
@item 55 |
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
@item 200000us |
|
200000 microseconds, that's 0.2s |
|
|
|
@item 12:03:45 |
|
12 hours, 03 minutes and 45 seconds |
|
|
|

@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 as defined below (case insensitive match) or a |
|
@code{[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 (@samp{0x00} or @samp{0.0} means completely |
|
transparent, @samp{0xff} or @samp{1.0} completely opaque). If the alpha |
|
component is not specified then @samp{0xff} is assumed. |
|
|
|
The string @samp{random} will result in a random color. |
|

@section Channel Layout |
|
|
|
A channel layout specifies the spatial disposition of the channels in |
|
a multi-channel audio stream. To specify a channel layout, FFmpeg |
|
makes use of a special syntax. |
|
|
|
Individual channels are identified by an id, as given by the table |
|
below: |

|
A custom channel layout can be specified as a sequence of terms, separated by '+'. |
|
Each term can be: |
|
@itemize |
|
@item |
|
the name of a single channel (e.g. @samp{FL}, @samp{FR}, @samp{FC}, @samp{LFE}, etc.), |
|
each optionally containing a custom name after a '@@', (e.g. @samp{FL@@Left}, |
|
@samp{FR@@Right}, @samp{FC@@Center}, @samp{LFE@@Low_Frequency}, etc.) |
|
@end itemize |
|
|
|
A standard channel layout can be specified by the following: |
|
@itemize |
|
@item |
|
the name of a single channel (e.g. @samp{FL}, @samp{FR}, @samp{FC}, @samp{LFE}, etc.) |
|
|
|
@item |
|
the name of a standard channel layout (e.g. @samp{mono}, |
|
@samp{stereo}, @samp{4.0}, @samp{quad}, @samp{5.0}, etc.) |
|
|
|
@item |
|
a number of channels, in decimal, followed by 'c', yielding the default channel |
|
layout for that number of channels (see the function |
|
@code{av_channel_layout_default}). Note that not all channel counts have a |
|
default layout. |
|
|
|
@item |
|
a number of channels, in decimal, followed by 'C', yielding an unknown channel |
|
layout with the specified number of channels. Note that not all channel layout |
|
specification strings support unknown channel layouts. |
|
|
|
@item |
|
a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with "0x" (see the |
|
@code{AV_CH_*} macros in @file{libavutil/channel_layout.h}. |
|
@end itemize |
|
|
|
Before libavutil version 53 the trailing character "c" to specify a number of |
|
channels was optional, but now it is required, while a channel layout mask can |
|
also be specified as a decimal number (if and only if not followed by "c" or "C"). |
|
|
|

@chapter Expression Evaluation |
|
@c man begin EXPRESSION EVALUATION |
|
|
|
When evaluating an arithmetic expression, FFmpeg uses an internal |
|
formula evaluator, implemented through the @file{libavutil/eval.h} |
|
interface. |
|
|
|
An expression may contain unary, binary operators, constants, and |
|
functions. |
|
|
|
Two expressions @var{expr1} and @var{expr2} can be combined to form |
|
another expression "@var{expr1};@var{expr2}". |
|
@var{expr1} and @var{expr2} are evaluated in turn, and the new |
|
expression evaluates to the value of @var{expr2}. |
|
|
|
The following binary operators are available: @code{+}, @code{-}, |
|
@code{*}, @code{/}, @code{^}. |
|
|
|
The following unary operators are available: @code{+}, @code{-}. |
|
|
|
The following functions are available: |
|

|
|
|
The expression in @var{expr} must denote a continuous function or the |
|
result is undefined. |
|
|
|
@var{ld(0)} is used to represent the function input value, which means |
|
that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times with |
|
various input values that the expression can access through |
|
@code{ld(0)}. When the expression evaluates to 0 then the |
|
corresponding input value will be returned. |
|

|
|
|
@item st(var, expr) |
|
Store the value of the expression @var{expr} in an internal |
|
variable. @var{var} specifies the number of the variable where to |
|
store the value, and it is a value ranging from 0 to 9. The function |
|
returns the value stored in the internal variable. |
|
Note, Variables are currently not shared between expressions. |
|
|
|
@item tan(x) |
|
Compute tangent of @var{x}. |
|
|
|
@item tanh(x) |
|
Compute hyperbolic tangent of @var{x}. |
|
|
|
@item taylor(expr, x) |
|
@item taylor(expr, x, id) |
|
Evaluate a Taylor series at @var{x}, given an expression representing |
|
the @code{ld(id)}-th derivative of a function at 0. |
|
|
|
When the series does not converge the result is undefined. |
|
|
|
@var{ld(id)} is used to represent the derivative order in @var{expr}, |
|
which means that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times |
|
with various input values that the expression can access through |
|
@code{ld(id)}. If @var{id} is not specified then 0 is assumed. |
|
|
|
Note, when you have the derivatives at y instead of 0, |
|
@code{taylor(expr, x-y)} can be used. |
|
|
|
@item time(0) |
|
Return the current (wallclock) time in seconds. |
|
|
|
@item trunc(expr) |
|
Round the value of expression @var{expr} towards zero to the nearest |
|
integer. For example, "trunc(-1.5)" is "-1.0". |
|
|
|
@item while(cond, expr) |
|
Evaluate expression @var{expr} while the expression @var{cond} is |
|
non-zero, and returns the value of the last @var{expr} evaluation, or |
|
NAN if @var{cond} was always false. |
|
@end table |
|
|
|
The following constants are available: |
|
@table @option |
|
@item PI |
|
area of the unit disc, approximately 3.14 |
|
@item E |
|
exp(1) (Euler's number), approximately 2.718 |
|
@item PHI |
|
golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2, approximately 1.618 |
|
@end table |
|
|
|
Assuming that an expression is considered "true" if it has a non-zero |
|
value, note that: |
|
|
|
@code{*} works like AND |
|
|
|
@code{+} works like OR |
|
|
|
For example the construct: |
|
@example |
|
if (A AND B) then C |
|
@end example |
|
is equivalent to: |
|
@example |
|
if(A*B, C) |
|
@end example |
|
|
|
In your C code, you can extend the list of unary and binary functions, |
|
and define recognized constants, so that they are available for your |
|
expressions. |
|
|
|
The evaluator also recognizes the International System unit prefixes. |
|
If 'i' is appended after the prefix, binary prefixes are used, which |
|
are based on powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000. |
|
The 'B' postfix multiplies the value by 8, and can be appended after a |
|
unit prefix or used alone. This allows using for example 'KB', 'MiB', |
|
'G' and 'B' as number postfix. |
|
|
|
The list of available International System prefixes follows, with |
|
indication of the corresponding powers of 10 and of 2. |
