Detailed Description

Functions for querying libavformat capabilities, allocating core structures, etc.

Function Documentation

◆ avformat_version()

unsigned avformat_version ( void  )

Return the LIBAVFORMAT_VERSION_INT constant.

Definition at line 61 of file utils.c.

◆ avformat_configuration()

const char* avformat_configuration ( void  )

Return the libavformat build-time configuration.

Definition at line 67 of file utils.c.

◆ avformat_license()

const char* avformat_license ( void  )

Return the libavformat license.

Definition at line 72 of file utils.c.

◆ avformat_network_init()

int avformat_network_init ( void  )

Do global initialization of network libraries.

This is optional, and not recommended anymore.

This functions only exists to work around thread-safety issues with older GnuTLS or OpenSSL libraries. If libavformat is linked to newer versions of those libraries, or if you do not use them, calling this function is unnecessary. Otherwise, you need to call this function before any other threads using them are started.

This function will be deprecated once support for older GnuTLS and OpenSSL libraries is removed, and this function has no purpose anymore.

Examples
http_multiclient.c.

Definition at line 5059 of file utils.c.

Referenced by main().

◆ avformat_network_deinit()

int avformat_network_deinit ( void  )

Undo the initialization done by avformat_network_init.

Call it only once for each time you called avformat_network_init.

Definition at line 5071 of file utils.c.

Referenced by do_exit(), ffmpeg_cleanup(), and main().

◆ av_muxer_iterate()

const AVOutputFormat* av_muxer_iterate ( void **  opaque)

Iterate over all registered muxers.

Parameters
opaquea pointer where libavformat will store the iteration state. Must point to NULL to start the iteration.
Returns
the next registered muxer or NULL when the iteration is finished

Definition at line 516 of file allformats.c.

Referenced by av_guess_format(), show_format_opts(), and show_formats_devices().

◆ av_demuxer_iterate()

const AVInputFormat* av_demuxer_iterate ( void **  opaque)

Iterate over all registered demuxers.

Parameters
opaquea pointer where libavformat will store the iteration state. Must point to NULL to start the iteration.
Returns
the next registered demuxer or NULL when the iteration is finished

Definition at line 533 of file allformats.c.

Referenced by av_find_input_format(), av_probe_input_format3(), ff_img_read_header(), print_times(), probe(), show_format_opts(), and show_formats_devices().

◆ avformat_alloc_context()

AVFormatContext* avformat_alloc_context ( void  )

◆ avformat_free_context()

void avformat_free_context ( AVFormatContext s)

◆ avformat_get_class()

const AVClass* avformat_get_class ( void  )

Get the AVClass for AVFormatContext.

It can be used in combination with AV_OPT_SEARCH_FAKE_OBJ for examining options.

See also
av_opt_find().

Definition at line 170 of file options.c.

◆ avformat_new_stream()

AVStream* avformat_new_stream ( AVFormatContext s,
const AVCodec c 
)

Add a new stream to a media file.

When demuxing, it is called by the demuxer in read_header(). If the flag AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER is set in s.ctx_flags, then it may also be called in read_packet().

When muxing, should be called by the user before avformat_write_header().

User is required to call avcodec_close() and avformat_free_context() to clean up the allocation by avformat_new_stream().

Parameters
smedia file handle
cIf non-NULL, the AVCodecContext corresponding to the new stream will be initialized to use this codec. This is needed for e.g. codec-specific defaults to be set, so codec should be provided if it is known.
Returns
newly created stream or NULL on error.
Examples
muxing.c, remuxing.c, transcode_aac.c, transcoding.c, and vaapi_transcode.c.
