  59. <p>This document describes some generic features and utilities provided
  60. by the libavutil library.
  61. </p>
  62. <a name="Syntax"></a>
  63. <h1 class="chapter"><a href="ffmpeg-utils.html#toc-Syntax">2 Syntax</a></h1>
  64. <p>This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg
  65. libraries and tools.

  69. <h2 class="section"><a href="ffmpeg-utils.html#toc-Quoting-and-escaping">2.1 Quoting and escaping</a></h2>
  70. <p>FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
  71. explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:
  72. </p>
  73. <ul>
  74. <li>
  75. &lsquo;<samp>'</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; are special characters (respectively used for
  76. quoting and escaping). In addition to them, there might be other
  77. special characters depending on the specific syntax where the escaping
  78. and quoting are employed.
  79. </li><li>
  80. A special character is escaped by prefixing it with a &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo;.
  81. </li><li>
  82. All characters enclosed between &lsquo;<samp>''</samp>&rsquo; are included literally in the
  83. parsed string. The quote character &lsquo;<samp>'</samp>&rsquo; itself cannot be quoted,
  84. so you may need to close the quote and escape it.
  85. </li><li>
  86. Leading and trailing whitespaces, unless escaped or quoted, are
  87. removed from the parsed string.
  88. </li></ul>
  89. <p>Note that you may need to add a second level of escaping when using
  90. the command line or a script, which depends on the syntax of the
  91. adopted shell language.
  92. </p>
  93. <p>The function <code>av_get_token</code> defined in
  94. &lsquo;<tt>libavutil/avstring.h</tt>&rsquo; can be used to parse a token quoted or
  95. escaped according to the rules defined above.
  96. </p>
  97. <p>The tool &lsquo;<tt>tools/ffescape</tt>&rsquo; in the FFmpeg source tree can be used
  98. to automatically quote or escape a string in a script.
  99. </p>
  100. <a name="Examples"></a>
  101. <h3 class="subsection"><a href="ffmpeg-utils.html#toc-Examples">2.1.1 Examples</a></h3>
  102. <ul>
  103. <li>
  104. Escape the string <code>Crime d'Amour</code> containing the <code>'</code> special
  105. character:
  106. <div class="example">
  107. <pre class="example">Crime d\'Amour
  108. </pre></div>
  109. </li><li>
  110. The string above contains a quote, so the <code>'</code> needs to be escaped
  111. when quoting it:
  112. <div class="example">
  113. <pre class="example">'Crime d'\''Amour'
  114. </pre></div>
  115. </li><li>
  116. Include leading or trailing whitespaces using quoting:
  117. <div class="example">
  118. <pre class="example">' this string starts and ends with whitespaces '
  119. </pre></div>
  120. </li><li>
  121. Escaping and quoting can be mixed together:
  122. <div class="example">
  123. <pre class="example">' The string '\'string\'' is a string '
  124. </pre></div>
  125. </li><li>
  126. To include a literal &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; you can use either escaping or quoting:
  127. <div class="example">
  128. <pre class="example">'c:\foo' can be written as c:\\foo
  129. </pre></div>
  130. </li></ul>
  131. <p><a name="date-syntax"></a>
  132. </p><a name="Date"></a>
  133. <h2 class="section"><a href="ffmpeg-utils.html#toc-Date">2.2 Date</a></h2>
  134. <p>The accepted syntax is:
  135. </p><div class="example">
  136. <pre class="example">[(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...]]])|(HHMMSS[.m...]]]))[Z]
  137. now
  138. </pre></div>
  139. <p>If the value is &quot;now&quot; it takes the current time.
  140. </p>
  141. <p>Time is local time unless Z is appended, in which case it is
  142. interpreted as UTC.
  143. If the year-month-day part is not specified it takes the current
  144. year-month-day.
  145. </p>
  146. <p><a name="time-duration-syntax"></a>
  147. </p><a name="Time-duration"></a>
  148. <h2 class="section"><a href="ffmpeg-utils.html#toc-Time-duration">2.3 Time duration</a></h2>
  149. <p>There are two accepted syntaxes for expressing time duration.
  150. </p>
  151. <div class="example">
  152. <pre class="example">[-][<var>HH</var>:]<var>MM</var>:<var>SS</var>[.<var>m</var>...]
  153. </pre></div>
  154. <p><var>HH</var> expresses the number of hours, <var>MM</var> the number of minutes
  155. for a maximum of 2 digits, and <var>SS</var> the number of seconds for a
  156. maximum of 2 digits. The <var>m</var> at the end expresses decimal value for
  157. <var>SS</var>.
  158. </p>
  159. <p><em>or</em>
  160. </p>
  161. <div class="example">
  162. <pre class="example">[-]<var>S</var>+[.<var>m</var>...]
  163. </pre></div>
  164. <p><var>S</var> expresses the number of seconds, with the optional decimal part
  165. <var>m</var>.
  166. </p>

  1013. <p>A custom channel layout can be specified as a sequence of terms, separated by
  1014. &rsquo;+&rsquo; or &rsquo;|&rsquo;. Each term can be:
  1015. </p><ul>
  1016. <li>
  1017. the name of a standard channel layout (e.g. &lsquo;<samp>mono</samp>&rsquo;,
  1018. &lsquo;<samp>stereo</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>4.0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>quad</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>5.0</samp>&rsquo;, etc.)
  1019. </li><li>
  1020. the name of a single channel (e.g. &lsquo;<samp>FL</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>FR</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>FC</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>LFE</samp>&rsquo;, etc.)
  1021. </li><li>
  1022. a number of channels, in decimal, followed by &rsquo;c&rsquo;, yielding the default channel
  1023. layout for that number of channels (see the function
  1024. <code>av_get_default_channel_layout</code>). Note that not all channel counts have a
  1025. default layout.
  1026. </li><li>
  1027. a number of channels, in decimal, followed by &rsquo;C&rsquo;, yielding an unknown channel
  1028. layout with the specified number of channels. Note that not all channel layout
  1029. specification strings support unknown channel layouts.
  1030. </li><li>
  1031. a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with &quot;0x&quot; (see the
  1032. <code>AV_CH_*</code> macros in &lsquo;<tt>libavutil/channel_layout.h</tt>&rsquo;.
  1033. </li></ul>
  1034. <p>Before libavutil version 53 the trailing character &quot;c&quot; to specify a number of
  1035. channels was optional, but now it is required, while a channel layout mask can
  1036. also be specified as a decimal number (if and only if not followed by &quot;c&quot; or &quot;C&quot;).
  1037. </p>
  1038. <p>See also the function <code>av_get_channel_layout</code> defined in
