@chapter Syntax
@c man begin SYNTAX
This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg
libraries and tools.
@anchor{quoting_and_escaping}
@section Quoting and escaping
FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:
@itemize
@item
@samp{'} and @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.
@item
A special character is escaped by prefixing it with a @samp{\}.
@item
All characters enclosed between @samp{''} are included literally in the
parsed string. The quote character @samp{'} itself cannot be quoted,
so you may need to close the quote and escape it.
@item
Leading and trailing whitespaces, unless escaped or quoted, are
removed from the parsed string.
@end itemize
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.
The function @code{av_get_token} defined in
@file{libavutil/avstring.h} can be used to parse a token quoted or
escaped according to the rules defined above.
The tool @file{tools/ffescape} in the FFmpeg source tree can be used
to automatically quote or escape a string in a script.
@subsection Examples
@itemize
@item
Escape the string @code{Crime d'Amour} containing the @code{'} special
character:
@example
Crime d\'Amour
@end example
@item
The string above contains a quote, so the @code{'} needs to be escaped
when quoting it:
@example
'Crime d'\''Amour'
@end example
@item
Include leading or trailing whitespaces using quoting:
@example
' this string starts and ends with whitespaces '
@end example
@item
Escaping and quoting can be mixed together:
@example
' The string '\'string\'' is a string '
@end example
@item
To include a literal @samp{\} you can use either escaping or quoting:
@example
'c:\foo' can be written as c:\\foo
@end example
@end itemize
@anchor{date syntax}
@section Date
The accepted syntax is:
@example
[(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...]]])|(HHMMSS[.m...]]]))[Z]
now
@end example
If the value is "now" it takes the current time.
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.
@anchor{time duration syntax}
@section Time duration
There are two accepted syntaxes for expressing time duration.
@example
[-][@var{HH}:]@var{MM}:@var{SS}[.@var{m}...]
@end example
@var{HH} expresses the number of hours, @var{MM} the number of minutes
for a maximum of 2 digits, and @var{SS} the number of seconds for a
maximum of 2 digits. The @var{m} at the end expresses decimal value for
@var{SS}.
@emph{or}
@example
[-]@var{S}+[.@var{m}...]
@end example
@var{S} expresses the number of seconds, with the optional decimal part
@var{m}.
In both expressions, the optional @samp{-} indicates negative duration.
@subsection Examples
The following examples are all valid time duration:
@table @samp
@item 55
55 seconds
@item 12:03:45
12 hours, 03 minutes and 45 seconds
@item 23.189
23.189 seconds
@end table
@anchor{video size syntax}
@section Video size
Specify the size of the sourced video, it may be a string of the form
@var{width}x@var{height}, or the name of a size abbreviation.
The following abbreviations are recognized:
@table @samp

@section Video rate
Specify the frame rate of a video, expressed as the number of frames
generated per second. It has to be a string in the format
@var{frame_rate_num}/@var{frame_rate_den}, an integer number, a float
number or a valid video frame rate abbreviation.
The following abbreviations are recognized:

@anchor{ratio syntax}
@section Ratio
A ratio can be expressed as an expression, or in the form
@var{numerator}:@var{denominator}.
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.
The undefined value can be expressed using the "0:0" string.
@anchor{color syntax}
@section Color
It can be the name of a color as defined below (case insensitive match) or a
@code{[0x|#]RRGGBB[AA]} sequence, possibly followed by @@ and a string
representing the alpha component.
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} or @samp{0.0} means completely
transparent, @samp{0xff} or @samp{1.0} completely opaque). If the alpha
component is not specified then @samp{0xff} is assumed.
The string @samp{random} will result in a random color.

@end table
A custom channel layout can be specified as a sequence of terms, separated by
'+' or '|'. Each term can be:
@itemize
@item
the name of a standard channel layout (e.g. @samp{mono},
@samp{stereo}, @samp{4.0}, @samp{quad}, @samp{5.0}, etc.)
@item
the name of a single channel (e.g. @samp{FL}, @samp{FR}, @samp{FC}, @samp{LFE}, etc.)
@item
a number of channels, in decimal, followed by 'c', yielding the default channel
layout for that number of channels (see the function
@code{av_get_default_channel_layout}). Note that not all channel counts have a
default layout.
@item
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.
@item
a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with "0x" (see the
@code{AV_CH_*} macros in @file{libavutil/channel_layout.h}.
@end itemize
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").
See also the function @code{av_get_channel_layout} defined in
@file{libavutil/channel_layout.h}.
@c man end SYNTAX
@chapter Expression Evaluation
@c man begin EXPRESSION EVALUATION
When evaluating an arithmetic expression, FFmpeg uses an internal
formula evaluator, implemented through the @file{libavutil/eval.h}
interface.
An expression may contain unary, binary operators, constants, and
functions.
Two expressions @var{expr1} and @var{expr2} can be combined to form
another expression "@var{expr1};@var{expr2}".
@var{expr1} and @var{expr2} are evaluated in turn, and the new
expression evaluates to the value of @var{expr2}.
The following binary operators are available: @code{+}, @code{-},
@code{*}, @code{/}, @code{^}.
The following unary operators are available: @code{+}, @code{-}.
The following functions are available:
@table @option
@item abs(x)
Compute absolute value of @var{x}.
@item acos(x)
Compute arccosine of @var{x}.
@item asin(x)
Compute arcsine of @var{x}.
@item atan(x)
Compute arctangent of @var{x}.
@item atan2(x, y)
Compute principal value of the arc tangent of @var{y}/@var{x}.
@item between(x, min, max)
Return 1 if @var{x} is greater than or equal to @var{min} and lesser than or
equal to @var{max}, 0 otherwise.
@item bitand(x, y)
@item bitor(x, y)
Compute bitwise and/or operation on @var{x} and @var{y}.
The results of the evaluation of @var{x} and @var{y} are converted to
integers before executing the bitwise operation.
Note that both the conversion to integer and the conversion back to
floating point can lose precision. Beware of unexpected results for
large numbers (usually 2^53 and larger).
@item ceil(expr)
Round the value of expression @var{expr} upwards to the nearest
integer. For example, "ceil(1.5)" is "2.0".
@item clip(x, min, max)
Return the value of @var{x} clipped between @var{min} and @var{max}.
@item cos(x)
Compute cosine of @var{x}.
@item cosh(x)

@item exp(x)
Compute exponential of @var{x} (with base @code{e}, the Euler's number).
@item floor(expr)
Round the value of expression @var{expr} downwards to the nearest
integer. For example, "floor(-1.5)" is "-2.0".
@item gauss(x)
Compute Gauss function of @var{x}, corresponding to
@code{exp(-x*x/2) / sqrt(2*PI)}.
@item gcd(x, y)
Return the greatest common divisor of @var{x} and @var{y}. If both @var{x} and
@var{y} are 0 or either or both are less than zero then behavior is undefined.
@item gt(x, y)
Return 1 if @var{x} is greater than @var{y}, 0 otherwise.
@item gte(x, y)
Return 1 if @var{x} is greater than or equal to @var{y}, 0 otherwise.
@item hypot(x, y)
This function is similar to the C function with the same name; it returns
"sqrt(@var{x}*@var{x} + @var{y}*@var{y})", the length of the hypotenuse of a
right triangle with sides of length @var{x} and @var{y}, or the distance of the
point (@var{x}, @var{y}) from the origin.
@item if(x, y)
Evaluate @var{x}, and if the result is non-zero return the result of
the evaluation of @var{y}, return 0 otherwise.
@item if(x, y, z)
Evaluate @var{x}, and if the result is non-zero return the evaluation
result of @var{y}, otherwise the evaluation result of @var{z}.
@item ifnot(x, y)
Evaluate @var{x}, and if the result is zero return the result of the
evaluation of @var{y}, return 0 otherwise.
@item ifnot(x, y, z)
Evaluate @var{x}, and if the result is zero return the evaluation
result of @var{y}, otherwise the evaluation result of @var{z}.
@item isinf(x)
Return 1.0 if @var{x} is +/-INFINITY, 0.0 otherwise.
@item isnan(x)
Return 1.0 if @var{x} is NAN, 0.0 otherwise.
@item ld(var)
Load the value of the internal variable with number
@var{var}, which was previously stored with st(@var{var}, @var{expr}).
The function returns the loaded value.
@item log(x)
Compute natural logarithm of @var{x}.
@item lt(x, y)
Return 1 if @var{x} is lesser than @var{y}, 0 otherwise.
@item lte(x, y)
Return 1 if @var{x} is lesser than or equal to @var{y}, 0 otherwise.
@item max(x, y)
Return the maximum between @var{x} and @var{y}.
@item min(x, y)
Return the minimum between @var{x} and @var{y}.
@item mod(x, y)
Compute the remainder of division of @var{x} by @var{y}.
@item not(expr)
Return 1.0 if @var{expr} is zero, 0.0 otherwise.
@item pow(x, y)
Compute the power of @var{x} elevated @var{y}, it is equivalent to
"(@var{x})^(@var{y})".
@item print(t)
@item print(t, l)
Print the value of expression @var{t} with loglevel @var{l}. If
@var{l} is not specified then a default log level is used.
Returns the value of the expression printed.
Prints t with loglevel l
@item random(x)
Return a pseudo random value between 0.0 and 1.0. @var{x} is the index of the
internal variable which will be used to save the seed/state.
@item root(expr, max)
Find an input value for which the function represented by @var{expr}
with argument @var{ld(0)} is 0 in the interval 0..@var{max}.
The expression in @var{expr} must denote a continuous function or the
result is undefined.
@var{ld(0)} is used to represent the function input value, which means
that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times with
various input values that the expression can access through
@code{ld(0)}. When the expression evaluates to 0 then the
corresponding input value will be returned.
@item round(expr)
Round the value of expression @var{expr} to the nearest integer. For example, "round(1.5)" is "2.0".
@item sin(x)
Compute sine of @var{x}.
@item sinh(x)
Compute hyperbolic sine of @var{x}.
@item sqrt(expr)
Compute the square root of @var{expr}. This is equivalent to
"(@var{expr})^.5".
@item squish(x)
Compute expression @code{1/(1 + exp(4*x))}.
@item st(var, expr)
Store the value of the expression @var{expr} in an internal
variable. @var{var} specifies the number of the variable where to
store the value, and it is a value ranging from 0 to 9. The function
returns the value stored in the internal variable.
Note, Variables are currently not shared between expressions.
@item tan(x)
Compute tangent of @var{x}.
@item tanh(x)
Compute hyperbolic tangent of @var{x}.
@item taylor(expr, x)
@item taylor(expr, x, id)
Evaluate a Taylor series at @var{x}, given an expression representing
the @code{ld(id)}-th derivative of a function at 0.
When the series does not converge the result is undefined.
@var{ld(id)} is used to represent the derivative order in @var{expr},
which means that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times
with various input values that the expression can access through
@code{ld(id)}. If @var{id} is not specified then 0 is assumed.
Note, when you have the derivatives at y instead of 0,
@code{taylor(expr, x-y)} can be used.
@item time(0)
Return the current (wallclock) time in seconds.
@item trunc(expr)
Round the value of expression @var{expr} towards zero to the nearest
integer. For example, "trunc(-1.5)" is "-1.0".
@item while(cond, expr)
Evaluate expression @var{expr} while the expression @var{cond} is
non-zero, and returns the value of the last @var{expr} evaluation, or
NAN if @var{cond} was always false.
@end table
The following constants are available:
@table @option
@item PI
area of the unit disc, approximately 3.14
@item E
exp(1) (Euler's number), approximately 2.718
@item PHI
golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2, approximately 1.618
@end table
Assuming that an expression is considered "true" if it has a non-zero
value, note that:
@code{*} works like AND
@code{+} works like OR
For example the construct:
@example
if (A AND B) then C
@end example
is equivalent to:
@example
if(A*B, C)
@end example
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.
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.
The list of available International System prefixes follows, with
indication of the corresponding powers of 10 and of 2.
