<p>This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg
libraries and tools.

<span id="quoting_005fand_005fescaping"></span><a name="Quoting-and-escaping"></a>
<h3 class="section">2.1 Quoting and escaping<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Quoting-and-escaping" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Quoting-and-escaping" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>
<p>FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:
</p>
<ul>
<li> ‘<samp>'</samp>’ and ‘<samp>\</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.
</li><li> A special character is escaped by prefixing it with a ‘<samp>\</samp>’.
</li><li> All characters enclosed between ‘<samp>''</samp>’ are included literally in the
parsed string. The quote character ‘<samp>'</samp>’ itself cannot be quoted,
so you may need to close the quote and escape it.
</li><li> Leading and trailing whitespaces, unless escaped or quoted, are
removed from the parsed string.
</li></ul>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>The function <code>av_get_token</code> defined in
<samp>libavutil/avstring.h</samp> can be used to parse a token quoted or
escaped according to the rules defined above.
</p>
<p>The tool <samp>tools/ffescape</samp> in the FFmpeg source tree can be used
to automatically quote or escape a string in a script.
</p>
<a name="Examples"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">2.1.1 Examples<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Examples" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Examples" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h4>
<ul>
<li> Escape the string <code>Crime d'Amour</code> containing the <code>'</code> special
character:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">Crime d\'Amour
</pre></div>
</li><li> The string above contains a quote, so the <code>'</code> needs to be escaped
when quoting it:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">'Crime d'\''Amour'
</pre></div>
</li><li> Include leading or trailing whitespaces using quoting:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">' this string starts and ends with whitespaces '
</pre></div>
</li><li> Escaping and quoting can be mixed together:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">' The string '\'string\'' is a string '
</pre></div>
</li><li> To include a literal ‘<samp>\</samp>’ you can use either escaping or quoting:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">'c:\foo' can be written as c:\\foo
</pre></div>
</li></ul>
<span id="date-syntax"></span><a name="Date"></a>
<h3 class="section">2.2 Date<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Date" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Date" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>
<p>The accepted syntax is:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">[(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...]]])|(HHMMSS[.m...]]]))[Z]
now
</pre></div>
<p>If the value is "now" it takes the current time.
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<span id="time-duration-syntax"></span><a name="Time-duration"></a>
<h3 class="section">2.3 Time duration<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Time-duration" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Time-duration" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>
<p>There are two accepted syntaxes for expressing time duration.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[-][<var>HH</var>:]<var>MM</var>:<var>SS</var>[.<var>m</var>...]
</pre></div>
<p><var>HH</var> expresses the number of hours, <var>MM</var> the number of minutes
for a maximum of 2 digits, and <var>SS</var> the number of seconds for a
maximum of 2 digits. The <var>m</var> at the end expresses decimal value for
<var>SS</var>.
</p>
<p><em>or</em>
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[-]<var>S</var>+[.<var>m</var>...][s|ms|us]
</pre></div>
<p><var>S</var> expresses the number of seconds, with the optional decimal part
<var>m</var>. The optional literal suffixes ‘<samp>s</samp>’, ‘<samp>ms</samp>’ or ‘<samp>us</samp>’
indicate to interpret the value as seconds, milliseconds or microseconds,
respectively.
</p>
<p>In both expressions, the optional ‘<samp>-</samp>’ indicates negative duration.

<p>A ratio can be expressed as an expression, or in the form
<var>numerator</var>:<var>denominator</var>.
</p>
<p>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.

<p>It can be the name of a color as defined below (case insensitive match) or a
<code>[0x|#]RRGGBB[AA]</code> sequence, possibly followed by @ and a string
representing the alpha component.
</p>
<p>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</samp>’ or ‘<samp>0.0</samp>’ means completely
transparent, ‘<samp>0xff</samp>’ or ‘<samp>1.0</samp>’ completely opaque). If the alpha
component is not specified then ‘<samp>0xff</samp>’ is assumed.
</p>
<p>The string ‘<samp>random</samp>’ will result in a random color.

<p>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.

<p>A custom channel layout can be specified as a sequence of terms, separated by ’+’.
Each term can be:
</p><ul>
<li> the name of a single channel (e.g. ‘<samp>FL</samp>’, ‘<samp>FR</samp>’, ‘<samp>FC</samp>’, ‘<samp>LFE</samp>’, etc.),
each optionally containing a custom name after a ’@’, (e.g. ‘<samp>FL@Left</samp>’,
‘<samp>FR@Right</samp>’, ‘<samp>FC@Center</samp>’, ‘<samp>LFE@Low_Frequency</samp>’, etc.)
</li></ul>
<p>A standard channel layout can be specified by the following:
</p><ul>
<li> the name of a single channel (e.g. ‘<samp>FL</samp>’, ‘<samp>FR</samp>’, ‘<samp>FC</samp>’, ‘<samp>LFE</samp>’, etc.)
</li><li> the name of a standard channel layout (e.g. ‘<samp>mono</samp>’,
‘<samp>stereo</samp>’, ‘<samp>4.0</samp>’, ‘<samp>quad</samp>’, ‘<samp>5.0</samp>’, etc.)
</li><li> 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</code>). Note that not all channel counts have a
default layout.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with "0x" (see the
<code>AV_CH_*</code> macros in <samp>libavutil/channel_layout.h</samp>.
</li></ul>
<p>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").
</p>
<p>See also the function <code>av_channel_layout_from_string</code> defined in
<samp>libavutil/channel_layout.h</samp>.

<p>When evaluating an arithmetic expression, FFmpeg uses an internal
formula evaluator, implemented through the <samp>libavutil/eval.h</samp>
interface.
</p>
<p>An expression may contain unary, binary operators, constants, and
functions.
</p>
<p>Two expressions <var>expr1</var> and <var>expr2</var> can be combined to form
another expression "<var>expr1</var>;<var>expr2</var>".
<var>expr1</var> and <var>expr2</var> are evaluated in turn, and the new
expression evaluates to the value of <var>expr2</var>.
</p>
<p>The following binary operators are available: <code>+</code>, <code>-</code>,
<code>*</code>, <code>/</code>, <code>^</code>.
</p>
<p>The following unary operators are available: <code>+</code>, <code>-</code>.
</p>
<p>The following functions are available:

<p>The following constants are available:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>PI</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>area of the unit disc, approximately 3.14
</p></dd>
<dt><span><samp>E</samp></span></dt>

<dt><span><samp>PHI</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2, approximately 1.618

</dl>
<p>Assuming that an expression is considered "true" if it has a non-zero
value, note that:
</p>
<p><code>*</code> works like AND
</p>
<p><code>+</code> works like OR
</p>
<p>For example the construct:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">if (A AND B) then C
</pre></div>
<p>is equivalent to:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">if(A*B, C)
</pre></div>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>The list of available International System prefixes follows, with
indication of the corresponding powers of 10 and of 2.
