@chapter Synopsis |

@chapter Description |
|
@c man begin DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
ffprobe gathers information from multimedia streams and prints it in |
|
human- and machine-readable fashion. |
|
|
|
For example it can be used to check the format of the container used |
|
by a multimedia stream and the format and type of each media stream |
|
contained in it. |
|
|
|
If a filename is specified in input, ffprobe will try to open and |
|
probe the file content. If the file cannot be opened or recognized as |
|
a multimedia file, a positive exit code is returned. |
|
|
|
ffprobe may be employed both as a standalone application or in |
|
combination with a textual filter, which may perform more |
|
sophisticated processing, e.g. statistical processing or plotting. |
|
|
|
Options are used to list some of the formats supported by ffprobe or |
|
for specifying which information to display, and for setting how |
|
ffprobe will show it. |
|
|
|
ffprobe output is designed to be easily parsable by a textual filter, |
|
and consists of one or more sections of the form: |
|
@example |
|
[SECTION] |
|
key1=val1 |
|
... |
|
keyN=valN |
|
[/SECTION] |
|
@end example |
|
|
|
Metadata tags stored in the container or in the streams are recognized |
|
and printed in the corresponding "FORMAT" or "STREAM" section, and |
|
are prefixed by the string "TAG:". |
