◆ av_append_packet()

int av_append_packet ( AVIOContext s,

Read data and append it to the current content of the AVPacket.

If pkt->size is 0 this is identical to av_get_packet. Note that this uses av_grow_packet and thus involves a realloc which is inefficient. Thus this function should only be used when there is no reasonable way to know (an upper bound of) the final size.

Parameters
sassociated IO context
pktpacket
sizeamount of data to read
Returns
>0 (read size) if OK, AVERROR_xxx otherwise, previous data will not be lost even if an error occurs.
