GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program

<p>The FFmpeg project is organized through a community working on global consensus.
</p>
<p>Decisions are taken by the ensemble of active members, through voting and are aided by two committees.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="General-Assembly"></a><a name="General-Assembly-1"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">2 General Assembly<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#General-Assembly" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-General-Assembly" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>The ensemble of active members is called the General Assembly (GA).
</p>
<p>The General Assembly is sovereign and legitimate for all its decisions regarding the FFmpeg project.
</p>
<p>The General Assembly is made up of active contributors.
</p>
<p>Contributors are considered &quot;active contributors&quot; if they have authored more than 20 patches in the last 36 months in the main FFmpeg repository, or if they have been voted in by the GA.
</p>
<p>The list of active contributors is updated twice each year, on 1st January and 1st July, 0:00 UTC.
</p>
<p>Additional members are added to the General Assembly through a vote after proposal by a member of the General Assembly. They are part of the GA for two years, after which they need a confirmation by the GA.
</p>
<p>A script to generate the current members of the general assembly (minus members voted in) can be found in &lsquo;tools/general_assembly.pl&lsquo;.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="Voting"></a><a name="Voting-1"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">3 Voting<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Voting" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Voting" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>Voting is done using a ranked voting system, currently running on https://vote.ffmpeg.org/ .
</p>
<p>Majority vote means more than 50% of the expressed ballots.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="Technical-Committee"></a><a name="Technical-Committee-1"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">4 Technical Committee<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Technical-Committee" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Technical-Committee" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>The Technical Committee (TC) is here to arbitrate and make decisions when technical conflicts occur in the project. They will consider the merits of all the positions, judge them and make a decision.
</p>
<p>The TC resolves technical conflicts but is not a technical steering committee.
</p>
<p>Decisions by the TC are binding for all the contributors.
</p>
<p>Decisions made by the TC can be re-opened after 1 year or by a majority vote of the General Assembly, requested by one of the member of the GA.
</p>
<p>The TC is elected by the General Assembly for a duration of 1 year, and is composed of 5 members. Members can be re-elected if they wish. A majority vote in the General Assembly can trigger a new election of the TC.
</p>
<p>The members of the TC can be elected from outside of the GA. Candidates for election can either be suggested or self-nominated.
</p>
<p>The conflict resolution process is detailed in the resolution process document.
</p>
<p>The TC can be contacted at &lt;tc@ffmpeg&gt;.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="Resolution-Process"></a><a name="Resolution-Process-1"></a>
<h3 class="section">4.1 Resolution Process<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Resolution-Process" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Resolution-Process" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>
<p>The Technical Committee (TC) is here to arbitrate and make decisions when technical conflicts occur in the project.
</p>
<p>The TC main role is to resolve technical conflicts. It is therefore not a technical steering committee, but it is understood that some decisions might impact the future of the project.
</p>
<a name="Seizing"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">4.1.1 Seizing<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Seizing" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Seizing" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h4>
<p>The TC can take possession of any technical matter that it sees fit.
</p>
<p>To involve the TC in a matter, email tc&nbsp;or CC them on an ongoing discussion.
</p>
<p>As members of TC are developers, they also can email tc&nbsp;to raise an issue.
</p><a name="Announcement"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">4.1.2 Announcement<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Announcement" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Announcement" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h4>
<p>The TC, once seized, must announce itself on the main mailing list, with a [TC] tag.
</p>
<p>The TC has 2 modes of operation: a RFC one and an internal one.
</p>
<p>If the TC thinks it needs the input from the larger community, the TC can call for a RFC. Else, it can decide by itself.
</p>
<p>The decision to use a RFC process or an internal discussion is a discretionary decision of the TC.
</p>
<p>The TC can also reject a seizure for a few reasons such as: the matter was not discussed enough previously; it lacks expertise to reach a beneficial decision on the matter; or the matter is too trivial.
</p><a name="RFC-call"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">4.1.3 RFC call<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#RFC-call" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-RFC-call" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h4>
<p>In the RFC mode, one person from the TC posts on the mailing list the technical question and will request input from the community.
</p>
<p>The mail will have the following specification:
</p>
<p>a precise title
a specific tag [TC RFC]
a top-level email
contain a precise question that does not exceed 100 words and that is answerable by developers
may have an extra description, or a link to a previous discussion, if deemed necessary,
contain a precise end date for the answers.
</p>
<p>The answers from the community must be on the main mailing list and must have the following specification:
</p>
<p>keep the tag and the title unchanged
limited to 400 words
a first-level, answering directly to the main email
answering to the question.
</p>
<p>Further replies to answers are permitted, as long as they conform to the community standards of politeness, they are limited to 100 words, and are not nested more than once. (max-depth=2)
</p>
<p>After the end-date, mails on the thread will be ignored.
</p>
<p>Violations of those rules will be escalated through the Community Committee.
</p>
<p>After all the emails are in, the TC has 96 hours to give its final decision. Exceptionally, the TC can request an extra delay, that will be notified on the mailing list.
</p><a name="Within-TC"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">4.1.4 Within TC<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Within-TC" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Within-TC" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h4>
<p>In the internal case, the TC has 96 hours to give its final decision. Exceptionally, the TC can request an extra delay.
</p><a name="Decisions"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">4.1.5 Decisions<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Decisions" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Decisions" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h4>
<p>The decisions from the TC will be sent on the mailing list, with the [TC] tag.
</p>
<p>Internally, the TC should take decisions with a majority, or using ranked-choice voting.
</p>
<p>Each TC member must vote on such decision according to what is, in their view, best for the project.
</p>
<p>If a TC member feels they are affected by a conflict of interest with regards to the case, they should announce it and recuse themselves from the TC
discussion and vote.
</p>
<p>A conflict of interest is presumed to occur when a TC member has a personal interest (e.g. financial) in a specific outcome of the case.
</p>
<p>The decision from the TC should be published with a summary of the reasons that lead to this decision.
</p>
<p>The decisions from the TC are final, until the matters are reopened after no less than one year.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="Community-Committee"></a><a name="Community-Committee-1"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">5 Community Committee<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Community-Committee" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Community-Committee" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>The Community Committee (CC) is here to arbitrage and make decisions when inter-personal conflicts occur in the project. It will decide quickly and take actions, for the sake of the project.
</p>
<p>The CC can remove privileges of offending members, including removal of commit access and temporary ban from the community.
</p>
<p>Decisions made by the CC can be re-opened after 1 year or by a majority vote of the General Assembly. Indefinite bans from the community must be confirmed by the General Assembly, in a majority vote.
</p>
<p>The CC is elected by the General Assembly for a duration of 1 year, and is composed of 5 members. Members can be re-elected if they wish. A majority vote in the General Assembly can trigger a new election of the CC.
</p>
<p>The members of the CC can be elected from outside of the GA. Candidates for election can either be suggested or self-nominated.
</p>
<p>The CC is governed by and responsible for enforcing the Code of Conduct.
</p>
<p>The CC can be contacted at &lt;cc@ffmpeg&gt;.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="Code-of-Conduct"></a><a name="Code-of-Conduct-1"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">6 Code of Conduct<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Code-of-Conduct" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Code-of-Conduct" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>Be friendly and respectful towards others and third parties.
Treat others the way you yourself want to be treated.
</p>
<p>Be considerate. Not everyone shares the same viewpoint and priorities as you do.
Different opinions and interpretations help the project.
Looking at issues from a different perspective assists development.
</p>
<p>Do not assume malice for things that can be attributed to incompetence. Even if
it is malice, it&rsquo;s rarely good to start with that as initial assumption.
</p>
<p>Stay friendly even if someone acts contrarily. Everyone has a bad day
once in a while.
If you yourself have a bad day or are angry then try to take a break and reply
once you are calm and without anger if you have to.
</p>
<p>Try to help other team members and cooperate if you can.
</p>
<p>The goal of software development is to create technical excellence, not for any
individual to be better and &quot;win&quot; against the others. Large software projects
are only possible and successful through teamwork.
</p>
<p>If someone struggles do not put them down. Give them a helping hand
instead and point them in the right direction.
</p>
<p>Finally, keep in mind the immortal words of Bill and Ted,
&quot;Be excellent to each other.&quot;

<p>Because no one has taken on that task yet. FFmpeg development is
driven by the tasks that are important to the individual developers.
If there is a feature that is important to you, the best way to get
it implemented is to undertake the task yourself or sponsor a developer.

<p>No. Windows DLLs are not portable, bloated and often slow.
Moreover FFmpeg strives to support all codecs natively.
A DLL loader is not conducive to that goal.

<p>Windows does not support standard formats like MPEG very well, unless you
install some additional codecs.

<p>Note, ASF files often have .wmv or .wma extensions in Windows. It should also
be mentioned that Microsoft claims a patent on the ASF format, and may sue

<p>Distributions usually split libraries in several packages. The main package
contains the files necessary to run programs using the library. The
development package contains the files necessary to build programs using the
library. Sometimes, docs and/or data are in a separate package too.
</p>
<p>To build FFmpeg, you need to install the development package. It is usually
called <samp class="file">libfoo-dev</samp> or <samp class="file">libfoo-devel</samp>. You can remove it after the
build is finished, but be sure to keep the main package.

<p>Somewhere along with your libraries, there is a <samp class="file">.pc</samp> file (or several)
in a <samp class="file">pkgconfig</samp> directory. You need to set environment variables to
point <code class="command">pkg-config</code> to these files.
</p>
<p>If you need to <em class="emph">add</em> directories to <code class="command">pkg-config</code>&rsquo;s search list
(typical use case: library installed separately), add it to
<code class="code">$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/x264/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/opus/lib/pkgconfig
</pre></div>
<p>If you need to <em class="emph">replace</em> <code class="command">pkg-config</code>&rsquo;s search list

<code class="code">$PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR</code>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/me/cross/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/home/me/cross/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

<p>The best way is to install <code class="command">pkg-config</code> in your cross-compilation
environment. It will automatically use the cross-compilation libraries.
</p>
<p>You can also use <code class="command">pkg-config</code> from the host environment by
specifying explicitly <code class="code">--pkg-config=pkg-config</code> to <code class="command">configure</code>.
In that case, you must point <code class="command">pkg-config</code> to the correct directories
using the <code class="code">PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR</code>, as explained in the previous entry.
</p>
<p>As an intermediate solution, you can place in your cross-compilation
environment a script that calls the host <code class="command">pkg-config</code> with
<code class="code">PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR</code> set. That script can look like that:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">#!/bin/sh
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/path/to/cross/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
exec /usr/bin/pkg-config &quot;$@&quot;

the sequence. This is useful if your sequence does not start with
<samp class="file">img001.jpg</samp> but is still in a numerical order. The following
example will start with <samp class="file">img100.jpg</samp>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -f image2 -start_number 100 -i img%d.jpg /tmp/a.mpg
</pre></div>
<p>If you have large number of pictures to rename, you can use the
following command to ease the burden. The command, using the bourne
shell syntax, symbolically links all files in the current directory
that match <code class="code">*jpg</code> to the <samp class="file">/tmp</samp> directory in the sequence of
<samp class="file">img001.jpg</samp>, <samp class="file">img002.jpg</samp> and so on.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">x=1; for i in *jpg; do counter=$(printf %03d $x); ln -s &quot;$i&quot; /tmp/img&quot;$counter&quot;.jpg; x=$(($x+1)); done
</pre></div>
<p>If you want to sequence them by oldest modified first, substitute
<code class="code">$(ls -r -t *jpg)</code> in place of <code class="code">*jpg</code>.
</p>
<p>Then run:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -f image2 -i /tmp/img%03d.jpg /tmp/a.mpg
</pre></div>
<p>The same logic is used for any image format that ffmpeg reads.
</p>
<p>You can also use <code class="command">cat</code> to pipe images to ffmpeg:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">cat *.jpg | ffmpeg -f image2pipe -c:v mjpeg -i - output.mpg

<p>Both Xvid and DivX (version 4+) are implementations of the ISO MPEG-4

default fourcc stored in an MPEG-4-coded file will be &rsquo;FMP4&rsquo;. If you want
a different fourcc, use the &rsquo;-vtag&rsquo; option. E.g., &rsquo;-vtag xvid&rsquo; will
force the fourcc &rsquo;xvid&rsquo; to be stored as the video fourcc rather than the
default.

<p>To &quot;join&quot; video files is quite ambiguous. The following list explains the
different kinds of &quot;joining&quot; and points out how those are addressed in
FFmpeg. To join video files may mean:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>To put them one after the other: this is called to <em class="emph">concatenate</em> them
(in short: concat) and is addressed
<a class="ref" href="#How-can-I-concatenate-video-files">in this very faq</a>.
</li><li>To put them together in the same file, to let the user choose between the

<p>FFmpeg has a <a class="url" href="ffmpeg-protocols.html#concat"><code class="code">concat</code></a> protocol designed specifically for that, with examples in the
documentation.
</p>
<p>A few multimedia containers (MPEG-1, MPEG-2 PS, DV) allow one to concatenate
video by merely concatenating the files containing them.
</p>
<p>Hence you may concatenate your multimedia files by first transcoding them to
these privileged formats, then using the humble <code class="code">cat</code> command (or the
equally humble <code class="code">copy</code> under Windows), and finally transcoding back to your
format of choice.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i input1.avi -qscale:v 1 intermediate1.mpg
ffmpeg -i input2.avi -qscale:v 1 intermediate2.mpg
cat intermediate1.mpg intermediate2.mpg &gt; intermediate_all.mpg
ffmpeg -i intermediate_all.mpg -qscale:v 2 output.avi
</pre></div>
<p>Additionally, you can use the <code class="code">concat</code> protocol instead of <code class="code">cat</code> or
<code class="code">copy</code> which will avoid creation of a potentially huge intermediate file.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i input1.avi -qscale:v 1 intermediate1.mpg
ffmpeg -i input2.avi -qscale:v 1 intermediate2.mpg
ffmpeg -i concat:&quot;intermediate1.mpg|intermediate2.mpg&quot; -c copy intermediate_all.mpg
ffmpeg -i intermediate_all.mpg -qscale:v 2 output.avi
</pre></div>
<p>Note that you may need to escape the character &quot;|&quot; which is special for many
shells.
</p>
<p>Another option is usage of named pipes, should your platform support it:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">mkfifo intermediate1.mpg
mkfifo intermediate2.mpg
ffmpeg -i input1.avi -qscale:v 1 -y intermediate1.mpg &lt; /dev/null &amp;
ffmpeg -i input2.avi -qscale:v 1 -y intermediate2.mpg &lt; /dev/null &amp;
cat intermediate1.mpg intermediate2.mpg |\
ffmpeg -f mpeg -i - -c:v mpeg4 -c:a libmp3lame output.avi

<p>Similarly, the yuv4mpegpipe format, and the raw video, raw audio codecs also
allow concatenation, and the transcoding step is almost lossless.
When using multiple yuv4mpegpipe(s), the first line needs to be discarded
from all but the first stream. This can be accomplished by piping through
<code class="code">tail</code> as seen below. Note that when piping through <code class="code">tail</code> you
must use command grouping, <code class="code">{ ;}</code>, to background properly.
</p>
<p>For example, let&rsquo;s say we want to concatenate two FLV files into an
output.flv file:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">mkfifo temp1.a
mkfifo temp1.v
mkfifo temp2.a
mkfifo temp2.v

<p>VOB and a few other formats do not have a global header that describes
everything present in the file. Instead, applications are supposed to scan
the file to see what it contains. Since VOB files are frequently large, only
the beginning is scanned. If the subtitles happen only later in the file,
they will not be initially detected.
</p>
<p>Some applications, including the <code class="code">ffmpeg</code> command-line tool, can only
work with streams that were detected during the initial scan; streams that
are detected later are ignored.
</p>
<p>The size of the initial scan is controlled by two options: <code class="code">probesize</code>
(default ~5&nbsp;Mo) and <code class="code">analyzeduration</code> (default 5,000,000&nbsp;µs = 5&nbsp;s). For
the subtitle stream to be detected, both values must be large enough.

roughly the expected visible effect, but achieved it in a very inefficient
way.
</p>
<p>Each encoder has its own set of options to set the quality-vs-size balance,
use the options for the encoder you are using to set the quality level to a
point acceptable for your tastes. The most common options to do that are
<samp class="option">-qscale</samp> and <samp class="option">-qmax</samp>, but you should peruse the documentation
of the encoder you chose.

<p>A lot of video codecs and formats can store the <em class="emph">aspect ratio</em> of the
video: this is the ratio between the width and the height of either the full
image (DAR, display aspect ratio) or individual pixels (SAR, sample aspect
ratio). For example, EGA screens at resolution 640×350 had 4:3 DAR and 35:48
SAR.
</p>
<p>Most still image processing work with square pixels, i.e. 1:1 SAR, but a lot
of video standards, especially from the analogic-numeric transition era, use
non-square pixels.
</p>
<p>Most processing filters in FFmpeg handle the aspect ratio to avoid
stretching the image: cropping adjusts the DAR to keep the SAR constant,
scaling adjusts the SAR to keep the DAR constant.
</p>
<p>If you want to stretch, or “unstretch”, the image, you need to override the
information with the
<a class="url" href="ffmpeg-filters.html#setdar_002c-setsar"><code class="code">setdar or setsar filters</code></a>.
</p>
<p>Do not forget to examine carefully the original video to check whether the
stretching comes from the image or from the aspect ratio information.
</p>
<p>For example, to fix a badly encoded EGA capture, use the following commands,
either the first one to upscale to square pixels or the second one to set
the correct aspect ratio or the third one to avoid transcoding (may not work
depending on the format / codec / player / phase of the moon):
</p>

<p>ffmpeg normally checks the console input, for entries like &quot;q&quot; to stop
and &quot;?&quot; to give help, while performing operations. ffmpeg does not have a way of
detecting when it is running as a background task.
When it checks the console input, that can cause the process running ffmpeg
in the background to suspend.
</p>
<p>To prevent those input checks, allowing ffmpeg to run as a background task,
use the <a class="url" href="ffmpeg.html#stdin-option"><code class="code">-nostdin</code> option</a>
in the ffmpeg invocation. This is effective whether you run ffmpeg in a shell
or invoke ffmpeg in its own process via an operating system API.
</p>
<p>As an alternative, when you are running ffmpeg in a shell, you can redirect
standard input to <code class="code">/dev/null</code> (on Linux and macOS)
or <code class="code">NUL</code> (on Windows). You can do this redirect either
on the ffmpeg invocation, or from a shell script which calls ffmpeg.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -nostdin -i INPUT OUTPUT
</pre></div>
<p>or (on Linux, macOS, and other UNIX-like shells):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i INPUT OUTPUT &lt;/dev/null
</pre></div>
<p>or (on Windows):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i INPUT OUTPUT &lt;NUL
</pre></div>

<h3 class="section">3.20 How do I prevent ffmpeg from suspending with a message like <em class="emph">suspended (tty output)</em>?<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#How-do-I-prevent-ffmpeg-from-suspending-with-a-message-like-suspended-_0028tty-output_0029_003f" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-How-do-I-prevent-ffmpeg-from-suspending-with-a-message-like-suspended-_0028tty-output_0029_003f" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>
<p>If you run ffmpeg in the background, you may find that its process suspends.
There may be a message like <em class="emph">suspended (tty output)</em>. The question is how
to prevent the process from being suspended.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">% ffmpeg -i INPUT OUTPUT &amp;&gt; ~/tmp/log.txt &amp;
[1] 93352
%
[1] + suspended (tty output) ffmpeg -i INPUT OUTPUT &amp;&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>The message &quot;tty output&quot; notwithstanding, the problem here is that
ffmpeg normally checks the console input when it runs. The operating system
detects this, and suspends the process until you can bring it to the
foreground and attend to it.
</p>
<p>The solution is to use the right techniques to tell ffmpeg not to consult
console input. You can use the
<a class="url" href="ffmpeg.html#stdin-option"><code class="code">-nostdin</code> option</a>,
or redirect standard input with <code class="code">&lt; /dev/null</code>.

<p>Yes. Check the <samp class="file">doc/examples</samp> directory in the source
repository, also available online at:
<a class="url" href="https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/master/doc/examples">https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/master/doc/examples</a>.
</p>
<p>Examples are also installed by default, usually in
<code class="code">$PREFIX/share/ffmpeg/examples</code>.
</p>
<p>Also you may read the Developers Guide of the FFmpeg documentation. Alternatively,
examine the source code for one of the many open source projects that
already incorporate FFmpeg at (<a class="url" href="projects.html">projects.html</a>).

<p>It depends. If your compiler is C99-compliant, then patches to support
it are likely to be welcome if they do not pollute the source code
with <code class="code">#ifdef</code>s related to the compiler.

<p>FFmpeg is already organized in a highly modular manner and does not need to
be rewritten in a formal object language. Further, many of the developers
favor straight C; it works for them. For more arguments on this matter,
read <a class="uref" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111004021423/http://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/#s15">&quot;Programming Religion&quot;</a>.

<p>The build process creates <code class="command">ffmpeg_g</code>, <code class="command">ffplay_g</code>, etc. which
contain full debug information. Those binaries are stripped to create
<code class="command">ffmpeg</code>, <code class="command">ffplay</code>, etc. If you need the debug information, use
the *_g versions.

<p>Yes, as long as the code is optional and can easily and cleanly be placed
under #if CONFIG_GPL without breaking anything. So, for example, a new codec
or filter would be OK under GPL while a bug fix to LGPL code would not.

<p>FFmpeg builds static libraries by default. In static libraries, dependencies
are not handled. That has two consequences. First, you must specify the
libraries in dependency order: <code class="code">-lavdevice</code> must come before
<code class="code">-lavformat</code>, <code class="code">-lavutil</code> must come after everything else, etc.
Second, external libraries that are used in FFmpeg have to be specified too.
</p>
<p>An easy way to get the full list of required libraries in dependency order
is to use <code class="code">pkg-config</code>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">c99 -o program program.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libavformat libavcodec)

<p>FFmpeg is a pure C project, so to use the libraries within your C++ application
you need to explicitly state that you are using a C library. You can do this by
encompassing your FFmpeg includes using <code class="code">extern &quot;C&quot;</code>.

<p>FATE is an extended regression suite on the client-side and a means
for results aggregation and presentation on the server-side.
</p>
<p>The first part of this document explains how you can use FATE from
your FFmpeg source directory to test your ffmpeg binary. The second
part describes how you can run FATE to submit the results to FFmpeg&rsquo;s
FATE server.
</p>
<p>In any way you can have a look at the publicly viewable FATE results
by visiting this website:
</p>
<p><a class="url" href="http://fate.ffmpeg.org/">http://fate.ffmpeg.org/</a>
</p>
<p>This is especially recommended for all people contributing source
code to FFmpeg, as it can be seen if some test on some platform broke
with their recent contribution. This usually happens on the platforms
the developers could not test on.
</p>
<p>The second part of this document describes how you can run FATE to
submit your results to FFmpeg&rsquo;s FATE server. If you want to submit your
results be sure to check that your combination of CPU, OS and compiler
is not already listed on the above mentioned website.
</p>
<p>In the third part you can find a comprehensive listing of FATE makefile
targets and variables.
</p>

<p>If you want to run FATE on your machine, FFmpeg needs to be configured first.
You may specify the location of samples during configuration by adding the
argument <code class="code">--samples=/path/to/fate-suite</code>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">./configure --enable-somelib --samples=/path/to/fate-suite
</pre></div>
<p>After successful configuration, you need to add and/or update the samples in place:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">make fate-rsync
</pre></div>
<p>Now you are ready to run FATE:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">make fate
</pre></div>
<p>See <a class="ref" href="#makefile-variables">makefile variables</a> for a list of arguments that can be added.
</p>
<p>If you did not set the samples path during configuration, or if you wish to
override it just before starting FATE, you can do so in one of three ways.
</p>
<p>Either by setting a make variable:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">make fate-rsync SAMPLES=/path/to/fate-suite
make fate SAMPLES=/path/to/fate-suite
</pre></div>
<p>or by setting an environment variable for the current session:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">export FATE_SAMPLES=/path/to/fate-suite
make fate-rsync
make fate
</pre></div>
<p>or in isolation for a single command by prepending it:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">FATE_SAMPLES=/path/to/fate-suite make fate-rsync
FATE_SAMPLES=/path/to/fate-suite make fate
</pre></div>
<p>This variable can also be set in your shell profile to make it permanent.
</p>
<div class="info">
<p>Do not put a &rsquo;~&rsquo; character in the samples path to indicate a home
directory. Because of shell nuances, this will cause FATE to fail.
Also, on Windows the path has to be relative to the build path
which in this case is the FFmpeg source directory.
</p></div>
<p>Beware that some assertions are disabled by default, so mind setting
<samp class="option">--assert-level=&lt;level&gt;</samp> at configuration time, e.g. when seeking
the highest possible test coverage:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">./configure --assert-level=2
</pre></div>
<p>Note that raising the assert level could have a performance impact.
</p>
<p>To get the complete list of tests, run the command:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">make fate-list
</pre></div>
<p>You can specify a subset of tests to run by specifying the
corresponding elements from the list with the <code class="code">fate-</code> prefix,
e.g. as in:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">make fate-ffprobe_compact fate-ffprobe_xml
</pre></div>
<p>This makes it easier to run a few tests in case of failure without
running the complete test suite.
</p>
<p>To use a custom wrapper to run the test, pass <samp class="option">--target-exec</samp> to
<code class="command">configure</code> or set the <var class="var">TARGET_EXEC</var> Make variable.

<p>To submit your results to the server you should run fate through the
shell script <samp class="file">tests/fate.sh</samp> from the FFmpeg sources. This script needs
to be invoked with a configuration file as its first argument.
</p>
<div class="example">

<p>A configuration file template with comments describing the individual

# sve256_env=&quot;MY_CPU=max,sve256=on&quot;
</pre>
<p>Create a configuration that suits your needs, based on the configuration
template. The <code class="env">slot</code> configuration variable can be any string that is not
yet used, but it is suggested that you name it adhering to the following
pattern &lsquo;<samp class="samp"><var class="var">arch</var>-<var class="var">os</var>-<var class="var">compiler</var>-<var class="var">compiler version</var></samp>&rsquo;. The
configuration file itself will be sourced in a shell script, therefore all
shell features may be used. This enables you to setup the environment as you
need it for your build.
</p>
<p>For your first test runs the <code class="env">fate_recv</code> variable should be empty or
commented out. This will run everything as normal except that it will omit
the submission of the results to the server. The following files should be
present in $workdir as specified in the configuration file:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>configure.log
</li><li>compile.log
</li><li>test.log
</li><li>report
</li><li>version
</li></ul>
<p>When you have everything working properly you can create an SSH key pair
and send the public key to the FATE server administrator who can be contacted
at the email address <a class="email" href="mailto:fate-admin@ffmpeg.org">fate-admin@ffmpeg.org</a>.
</p>
<p>Configure your SSH client to use public key authentication with that key
when connecting to the FATE server. Also do not forget to check the identity
of the server and to accept its host key. This can usually be achieved by
running your SSH client manually and killing it after you accepted the key.
The FATE server&rsquo;s fingerprint is:
</p>
<dl class="table">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">RSA</samp>&rsquo;</dt>

<dd><p>76:9f:68:32:04:1e:d5:d4:ec:47:3f:dc:fc:18:17:86
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>If you have problems connecting to the FATE server, it may help to try out
the <code class="command">ssh</code> command with one or more <samp class="option">-v</samp> options. You should
get detailed output concerning your SSH configuration and the authentication
process.
</p>
<p>The only thing left is to automate the execution of the fate.sh script and
the synchronisation of the samples directory.

<p>If you need a sample uploaded send a mail to samples-request.
</p>
<p>This is for developers who have an account on the fate suite server.
If you upload new samples, please make sure they are as small as possible,
space on each client, network bandwidth and so on benefit from smaller test cases.
Also keep in mind older checkouts use existing sample files, that means in
practice generally do not replace, remove or overwrite files as it likely would
break older checkouts or releases.
Also all needed samples for a commit should be uploaded, ideally 24
hours, before the push.
If you need an account for frequently uploading samples or you wish to help
others by doing that send a mail to ffmpeg-devel.

<p>The FFmpeg resampler provides a high-level interface to the
libswresample library audio resampling utilities. In particular it
allows one to perform audio resampling, audio channel layout rematrixing,
and convert audio format and packing layout.

</dd>
<dt><samp class="option">async</samp></dt>
<dd><p>For swr only, simple 1 parameter audio sync to timestamps using stretching,
squeezing, filling and trimming. Setting this to 1 will enable filling and
trimming, larger values represent the maximum amount in samples that the data
may be stretched or squeezed for each second.
Default value is 0, thus no compensation is applied to make the samples match
the audio timestamps.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp class="option">first_pts</samp></dt>
<dd><p>For swr only, assume the first pts should be this value. The time unit is 1 / sample rate.
This allows for padding/trimming at the start of stream. By default, no
assumption is made about the first frame&rsquo;s expected pts, so no padding or
trimming is done. For example, this could be set to 0 to pad the beginning with
silence if an audio stream starts after the video stream or to trim any samples
with a negative pts due to encoder delay.

<p>The FFmpeg rescaler provides a high-level interface to the libswscale
library image conversion utilities. In particular it allows one to perform
image rescaling and pixel format conversion.

<p>The video scaler supports the following named options.
</p>
<p>Options may be set by specifying -<var class="var">option</var> <var class="var">value</var> in the
FFmpeg tools, with a few API-only exceptions noted below.
For programmatic use, they can be set explicitly in the
<code class="code">SwsContext</code> options or through the <samp class="file">libavutil/opt.h</samp> API.

<p>FFplay is a very simple and portable media player using the FFmpeg
libraries and the SDL library. It is mostly used as a testbed for the
various FFmpeg APIs.
</p>
<a name="Options"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">3 Options<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Options" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Options" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>All the numerical options, if not specified otherwise, accept a string
representing a number as input, which may be followed by one of the SI
unit prefixes, for example: &rsquo;K&rsquo;, &rsquo;M&rsquo;, or &rsquo;G&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>If &rsquo;i&rsquo; is appended to the SI unit prefix, the complete prefix will be
interpreted as a unit prefix for binary multiples, which are based on
powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000. Appending &rsquo;B&rsquo; to the SI unit
prefix multiplies the value by 8. This allows using, for example:
&rsquo;KB&rsquo;, &rsquo;MiB&rsquo;, &rsquo;G&rsquo; and &rsquo;B&rsquo; as number suffixes.
</p>
<p>Options which do not take arguments are boolean options, and set the
corresponding value to true. They can be set to false by prefixing
the option name with &quot;no&quot;. For example using &quot;-nofoo&quot;
will set the boolean option with name &quot;foo&quot; to false.
</p>
<p>Options that take arguments support a special syntax where the argument given on
the command line is interpreted as a path to the file from which the actual
argument value is loaded. To use this feature, add a forward slash &rsquo;/&rsquo;
immediately before the option name (after the leading dash). E.g.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i INPUT -/filter:v filter.script OUTPUT
</pre></div>
<p>will load a filtergraph description from the file named <samp class="file">filter.script</samp>.
</p>
<a class="anchor" id="Stream-specifiers"></a><a name="Stream-specifiers-1"></a>
<h3 class="section">3.1 Stream specifiers<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Stream-specifiers" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Stream-specifiers" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>
<p>Some options are applied per-stream, e.g. bitrate or codec. Stream specifiers
are used to precisely specify which stream(s) a given option belongs to.
</p>
<p>A stream specifier is a string generally appended to the option name and
separated from it by a colon. E.g. <code class="code">-codec:a:1 ac3</code> contains the
<code class="code">a:1</code> stream specifier, which matches the second audio stream. Therefore, it
would select the ac3 codec for the second audio stream.
</p>
<p>A stream specifier can match several streams, so that the option is applied to all
of them. E.g. the stream specifier in <code class="code">-b:a 128k</code> matches all audio
streams.
</p>
<p>An empty stream specifier matches all streams. For example, <code class="code">-codec copy</code>
or <code class="code">-codec: copy</code> would copy all the streams without reencoding.
</p>
<p>Possible forms of stream specifiers are:
</p><dl class="table">
<dt><samp class="option"><var class="var">stream_index</var></samp></dt>
<dd><p>Matches the stream with this index. E.g. <code class="code">-threads:1 4</code> would set the
thread count for the second stream to 4. If <var class="var">stream_index</var> is used as an
additional stream specifier (see below), then it selects stream number
<var class="var">stream_index</var> from the matching streams. Stream numbering is based on the
order of the streams as detected by libavformat except when a stream group
specifier or program ID is also specified. In this case it is based on the
ordering of the streams in the group or program.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp class="option"><var class="var">stream_type</var>[:<var class="var">additional_stream_specifier</var>]</samp></dt>
<dd><p><var class="var">stream_type</var> is one of following: &rsquo;v&rsquo; or &rsquo;V&rsquo; for video, &rsquo;a&rsquo; for audio, &rsquo;s&rsquo;

streams, &rsquo;V&rsquo; only matches video streams which are not attached pictures, video
thumbnails or cover arts. If <var class="var">additional_stream_specifier</var> is used, then
it matches streams which both have this type and match the
<var class="var">additional_stream_specifier</var>. Otherwise, it matches all streams of the
specified type.

<dd><p>Indicates that repeated log output should not be compressed to the first line
and the &quot;Last message repeated n times&quot; line will be omitted.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">level</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Indicates that log output should add a <code class="code">[level]</code> prefix to each message
line. This can be used as an alternative to log coloring, e.g. when dumping the
log to file.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">time</samp>&rsquo;</dt>

</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">datetime</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Indicates that log lines should be prefixed with date and time information.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Flags can also be used alone by adding a &rsquo;+&rsquo;/&rsquo;-&rsquo; prefix to set/reset a single
flag without affecting other <var class="var">flags</var> or changing <var class="var">loglevel</var>. When
setting both <var class="var">flags</var> and <var class="var">loglevel</var>, a &rsquo;+&rsquo; separator is expected
between the last <var class="var">flags</var> value and before <var class="var">loglevel</var>.
</p>
<p><var class="var">loglevel</var> is a string or a number containing one of the following values:
</p><dl class="table">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">quiet, -8</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Show nothing at all; be silent.

<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">error, 16</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Show all errors, including ones which can be recovered from.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">warning, 24</samp>&rsquo;</dt>

<dd><p>Show everything, including debugging information.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp class="samp">trace, 56</samp>&rsquo;</dt>

<p>For example to enable repeated log output, add the <code class="code">level</code> prefix, and set
<var class="var">loglevel</var> to <code class="code">verbose</code>:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -loglevel repeat+level+verbose -i input output
</pre></div>
<p>Another example that enables repeated log output without affecting current
state of <code class="code">level</code> prefix flag or <var class="var">loglevel</var>:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg [...] -loglevel +repeat
</pre></div>
<p>By default the program logs to stderr. If coloring is supported by the
terminal, colors are used to mark errors and warnings. Log coloring
can be disabled setting the environment variable
<code class="env">AV_LOG_FORCE_NOCOLOR</code>, or can be forced setting
the environment variable <code class="env">AV_LOG_FORCE_COLOR</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp class="option">-report</samp></dt>

This file can be useful for bug reports.
It also implies <code class="code">-loglevel debug</code>.
</p>
<p>Setting the environment variable <code class="env">FFREPORT</code> to any value has the
same effect. If the value is a &rsquo;:&rsquo;-separated key=value sequence, these
options will affect the report; option values must be escaped if they
contain special characters or the options delimiter &rsquo;:&rsquo; (see the
&ldquo;Quoting and escaping&rdquo; section in the ffmpeg-utils manual).
</p>
<p>The following options are recognized:
</p><dl class="table">
<dt><samp class="option">file</samp></dt>
<dd><p>set the file name to use for the report; <code class="code">%p</code> is expanded to the name

to a plain <code class="code">%</code>
</p></dd>
<dt><samp class="option">level</samp></dt>
<dd><p>set the log verbosity level using a numerical value (see <code class="code">-loglevel</code>).
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example, to output a report to a file named <samp class="file">ffreport.log</samp>
using a log level of <code class="code">32</code> (alias for log level <code class="code">info</code>):
</p>
<div class="example">

<p>Errors in parsing the environment variable are not fatal, and will not
appear in the report.

<dt><samp class="option">-hide_banner</samp></dt>

<p>These options are provided directly by the libavformat, libavdevice and
libavcodec libraries. To see the list of available AVOptions, use the
<samp class="option">-help</samp> option. They are separated into two categories:
</p><dl class="table">
<dt><samp class="option">generic</samp></dt>
<dd><p>These options can be set for any container, codec or device. Generic options
are listed under AVFormatContext options for containers/devices and under
AVCodecContext options for codecs.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp class="option">private</samp></dt>
<dd><p>These options are specific to the given container, device or codec. Private
options are listed under their corresponding containers/devices/codecs.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>For example to write an ID3v2.3 header instead of a default ID3v2.4 to
an MP3 file, use the <samp class="option">id3v2_version</samp> private option of the MP3
muxer:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i input.flac -id3v2_version 3 out.mp3
</pre></div>
<p>All codec AVOptions are per-stream, and thus a stream specifier
should be attached to them:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ffmpeg -i multichannel.mxf -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:0 -c:a:0 ac3 -b:a:0 640k -ac:a:1 2 -c:a:1 aac -b:2 128k out.mp4
</pre></div>
<p>In the above example, a multichannel audio stream is mapped twice for output.
The first instance is encoded with codec ac3 and bitrate 640k.
The second instance is downmixed to 2 channels and encoded with codec aac. A bitrate of 128k is specified for it using
absolute index of the output stream.
</p>
<p>Note: the <samp class="option">-nooption</samp> syntax cannot be used for boolean
AVOptions, use <samp class="option">-option 0</samp>/<samp class="option">-option 1</samp>.
</p>
<p>Note: the old undocumented way of specifying per-stream AVOptions by
prepending v/a/s to the options name is now obsolete and will be
removed soon.

<p>This document aims in giving some quick references on a set of useful Git
commands. You should always use the extensive and detailed documentation
provided directly by Git:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git --help
man git
</pre></div>
<p>shows you the available subcommands,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git &lt;command&gt; --help
man git-&lt;command&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>shows information about the subcommand &lt;command&gt;.
</p>
<p>Additional information could be found on the
<a class="url" href="http://gitref.org">Git Reference</a> website.
</p>
<p>For more information about the Git project, visit the
<a class="url" href="http://git-scm.com/">Git website</a>.
</p>
<p>Consult these resources whenever you have problems, they are quite exhaustive.
</p>
<p>What follows now is a basic introduction to Git and some FFmpeg-specific
guidelines to ease the contribution to the project.

<p>You can get Git from <a class="url" href="http://git-scm.com/">http://git-scm.com/</a>
Most distribution and operating system provide a package for it.

<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git &lt;target&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>This will put the FFmpeg sources into the directory <var class="var">&lt;target&gt;</var>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git clone git@source.ffmpeg.org:ffmpeg &lt;target&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>This will put the FFmpeg sources into the directory <var class="var">&lt;target&gt;</var> and let
you push back your changes to the remote repository.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git clone git@ffmpeg.org:ffmpeg-web &lt;target&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>This will put the source of the FFmpeg website into the directory
<var class="var">&lt;target&gt;</var> and let you push back your changes to the remote repository.
</p>
<p>If you don&rsquo;t have write-access to the ffmpeg-web repository, you can
create patches after making a read-only ffmpeg-web clone:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git clone git://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-web &lt;target&gt;
</pre></div>
<p>Make sure that you do not have Windows line endings in your checkouts,
otherwise you may experience spurious compilation failures. One way to
achieve this is to run

<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git pull --rebase
</pre></div>
<p>fetches the changes from the main repository and replays your local commits
over it. This is required to keep all your local changes at the top of
FFmpeg&rsquo;s master tree. The master tree will reject pushes with merge commits.

<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git add [-A] &lt;filename/dirname&gt;

<p>to double check your changes before committing them to avoid trouble later
on. All experienced developers do this on each and every commit, no matter
how small.

<p>Every one of them has been saved from looking like a fool by this many times.
It&rsquo;s very easy for stray debug output or cosmetic modifications to slip in,
please avoid problems through this extra level of scrutiny.

<p>Log messages should be concise but descriptive.
</p>
<p>The first line must contain the context, a colon and a very short
summary of what the commit does. Details can be added, if necessary,
separated by an empty line. These details should not exceed 60-72 characters
per line, except when containing code.
</p>
<p>Example of a good commit message:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">avcodec/cbs: add a helper to read extradata within packet side data
Using ff_cbs_read() on the raw buffer will not parse it as extradata,
resulting in parsing errors for example when handling ISOBMFF avcC.
This helper works around that.
</pre></div>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">ptr might be NULL
</pre></div>
<p>If the summary on the first line is not enough, in the body of the message,
explain why you made a change, what you did will be obvious from the changes
themselves most of the time. Saying just &quot;bug fix&quot; or &quot;10l&quot; is bad. Remember
that people of varying skill levels look at and educate themselves while
reading through your code. Don&rsquo;t include filenames in log messages except in
the context, Git provides that information.
</p>
<p>If the commit fixes a registered issue, state it in a separate line of the
body: <code class="code">Fix Trac ticket #42.</code>
</p>
<p>The first line will be used to name
the patch by <code class="command">git format-patch</code>.
</p>
<p>Common mistakes for the first line, as seen in <code class="command">git log --oneline</code>
include: missing context at the beginning; description of what the code did
before the patch; line too long or wrapped to the second line.

<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git format-patch &lt;commit&gt; [-o directory]

</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">git format-patch origin/master

present in upstream.
A useful shortcut is also

<p>If you have no gpg key yet, we recommend that you create a ed25519 based key as it
is small, fast and secure. Especially it results in small signatures in git.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">gpg --default-new-key-algo &quot;ed25519/cert,sign+cv25519/encr&quot; --quick-generate-key &quot;human@server.com&quot;
</pre></div>
<p>When generating a key, make sure the email specified matches the email used in git as some sites like
github consider mismatches a reason to declare such commits unverified. After generating a key you
can add it to the MAINTAINER file and upload it to a keyserver.

<p>Once you have a set of commits that you feel are ready for pushing,
work through the following checklist to doublecheck everything is in
proper order. This list tries to be exhaustive. In case you are just
pushing a typo in a comment, some of the steps may be unnecessary.
Apply your common sense, but if in doubt, err on the side of caution.
</p>
<p>First, make sure that the commits and branches you are going to push
match what you want pushed and that nothing is missing, extraneous or
wrong. You can see what will be pushed by running the git push command
with <samp class="option">--dry-run</samp> first. And then inspecting the commits listed with
<code class="command">git log -p 1234567..987654</code>. The <code class="command">git status</code> command
may help in finding local changes that have been forgotten to be added.
</p>
<p>Next let the code pass through a full run of our test suite.
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li><code class="command">make distclean</code>
</li><li><code class="command">/path/to/ffmpeg/configure</code>
</li><li><code class="command">make fate</code>
</li><li>if fate fails due to missing samples run <code class="command">make fate-rsync</code> and retry
</li></ul>
<p>Make sure all your changes have been checked before pushing them, the
test suite only checks against regressions and that only to some extend. It does
obviously not check newly added features/code to be working unless you have
added a test for that (which is recommended).
</p>
<p>Also note that every single commit should pass the test suite, not just
the result of a series of patches.
</p>
<p>Once everything passed, push the changes to your public ffmpeg clone and post a
merge request to ffmpeg-devel. You can also push them directly but this is not
recommended.

<p>The libavcodec library provides a generic encoding/decoding framework
and contains multiple decoders and encoders for audio, video and
subtitle streams, and several bitstream filters.
</p>
<p>The shared architecture provides various services ranging from bit
stream I/O to DSP optimizations, and makes it suitable for
implementing robust and fast codecs as well as for experimentation.

<p>The libavformat library provides a generic framework for multiplexing
and demultiplexing (muxing and demuxing) audio, video and subtitle
streams. It encompasses multiple muxers and demuxers for multimedia
container formats.
</p>
<p>It also supports several input and output protocols to access a media
resource.

<p>The libavutil library is a utility library to aid portable
multimedia programming. It contains safe portable string functions,
random number generators, data structures, additional mathematics
functions, cryptography and multimedia related functionality (like
enumerations for pixel and sample formats). It is not a library for
code needed by both libavcodec and libavformat.
</p>
<p>The goals for this library is to be:
</p>
<dl class="table">
<dt><strong class="strong">Modular</strong></dt>
<dd><p>It should have few interdependencies and the possibility of disabling individual
parts during <code class="command">./configure</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="strong">Small</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Both sources and objects should be small.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="strong">Efficient</strong></dt>
<dd><p>It should have low CPU and memory usage.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="strong">Useful</strong></dt>

<p>The libswresample library performs highly optimized audio resampling,
rematrixing and sample format conversion operations.
</p>
<p>Specifically, this library performs the following conversions:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li><em class="emph">Resampling</em>: is the process of changing the audio rate, for
example from a high sample rate of 44100Hz to 8000Hz. Audio
conversion from high to low sample rate is a lossy process. Several
resampling options and algorithms are available.
</li><li><em class="emph">Format conversion</em>: is the process of converting the type of
samples, for example from 16-bit signed samples to unsigned 8-bit or
float samples. It also handles packing conversion, when passing from
packed layout (all samples belonging to distinct channels interleaved
in the same buffer), to planar layout (all samples belonging to the
same channel stored in a dedicated buffer or &quot;plane&quot;).
</li><li><em class="emph">Rematrixing</em>: is the process of changing the channel layout, for
example from stereo to mono. When the input channels cannot be mapped
to the output streams, the process is lossy, since it involves
different gain factors and mixing.
</li></ul>
<p>Various other audio conversions (e.g. stretching and padding) are
enabled through dedicated options.

<p>Sometimes you may want to temporarily stop receiving all mailing list

<ol class="enumerate">
<li> Go to the <a class="url" href="https://lists.ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user/">ffmpeg-user mailing list info page</a>
</li><li> Enter your email address in the box at very bottom of the page and click the

</li><li> Enter your password and click the <em class="emph">Log in</em> button.
</li><li> Look for the <em class="emph">Mail delivery</em> option. Here you can disable/enable mail
delivery. If you check <em class="emph">Set globally</em> it will apply your choice to all
other FFmpeg mailing lists you are subscribed to.
</li></ol>
<p>Alternatively, from your subscribed address, send a message to <a class="email" href="mailto:ffmpeg-user-request@ffmpeg.org">ffmpeg-user-request@ffmpeg.org</a>
with the subject <em class="emph">set delivery off</em>. To re-enable mail delivery send a

<em class="emph">set delivery on</em>.

<p>This is due to subscribers that use an email service with a DMARC reject policy
which adds difficulties to mailing list operators.
</p>
<p>The mailing list must re-write (munge) the <em class="emph">From:</em> header for such users;
otherwise their email service will reject and bounce the message resulting in
automatic unsubscribing from the mailing list.
</p>
<p>When sending a message these users will see <em class="emph">via &lt;mailing list name&gt;</em>
added to their name and the <em class="emph">From:</em> address munged to the address of
the particular mailing list.
</p>
<p>If you want to avoid this then please use a different email service.
</p>
<p>Note that ffmpeg-devel does not apply any munging as it causes issues with
patch authorship. As a result users with an email service with a DMARC reject
policy may be automatically unsubscribed due to rejected and bounced messages.

<p>There may seem to be many things to remember, but we want to help and
following these guidelines will allow you to get answers more quickly
and help avoid getting ignored.
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>Always show your actual, unscripted <code class="command">ffmpeg</code> command and the
complete, uncut console output from your command.
</li><li>Use the most simple and minimal command that still shows the issue you
are encountering.
</li><li>Provide all necessary information so others can attempt to duplicate
your issue. This includes the actual command, complete uncut console
output, and any inputs that are required to duplicate the issue.
</li><li>Use the latest <code class="command">ffmpeg</code> build you can get. See the <a class="url" href="https://ffmpeg.org/download.html">FFmpeg Download</a>
page for links to recent builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Or
compile from the current git master branch.
</li><li>Avoid <a class="url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting">top-posting</a>.
Also see <a class="ref" href="#What-is-top_002dposting_003f">What is top-posting?</a>
</li><li>Avoid hijacking threads. Thread hijacking is replying to a message and
changing the subject line to something unrelated to the original thread.
Most email clients will still show the renamed message under the
original thread. This can be confusing and these types of messages are
often ignored.
</li><li>Do not send screenshots. Copy and paste console text instead of making
screenshots of the text.
</li><li>Avoid sending email disclaimers and legalese if possible as this is a
public list.
</li><li>Avoid using the <code class="code">-loglevel debug</code>, <code class="code">-loglevel quiet</code>, and
<code class="command">-hide_banner</code> options unless requested to do so.
</li><li>If you attach files avoid compressing small files. Uncompressed is
preferred.
</li><li>Please do not send HTML-only messages. The mailing list will ignore the
HTML component of your message. Most mail clients will automatically
include a text component: this is what the mailing list will use.
</li><li>Configuring your mail client to break lines after 70 or so characters is
recommended.
</li><li>Avoid sending the same message to multiple mailing lists.
</li><li>Please follow our <a class="url" href="https://ffmpeg.org/community.html#Code-of-Conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.

<p>NUT is a low overhead generic container format. It stores audio, video,
subtitle and user-defined streams in a simple, yet efficient, way.
</p>
<p>It was created by a group of FFmpeg and MPlayer developers in 2003
and was finalized in 2008.
</p>
<p>The official nut specification is at svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/nut
In case of any differences between this text and the official specification,
the official specification shall prevail.

<p>NUT has some variants signaled by using the flags field in its main header.

<p>The PIPE variant assumes NUT is used as non-seekable intermediate container,
by not using syncpoint removes unneeded overhead and reduces the overall

<p>Since many exotic planar YUVA pixel formats are not considered by
the AVI/QuickTime FourCC lists, the following scheme is adopted for
representing them.
</p>
<p>The first two bytes can contain the values:
Y1 = only Y
Y2 = Y+A
Y3 = YUV
Y4 = YUVA
</p>
<p>The third byte represents the width and height chroma subsampling
values for the UV planes, that is the amount to shift the luma
width/height right to find the chroma width/height.
</p>
<p>The fourth byte is the number of bits used (8, 16, ...).
</p>
<p>If the order of bytes is inverted, that means that each component has
to be read big-endian.

<p>Some parts of FFmpeg cannot be built with version 2.15 of the GNU
assembler which is still provided by a few AMD64 distributions. To
make sure your compiler really uses the required version of gas
after a binutils upgrade, run:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">$(gcc -print-prog-name=as) --version
</pre></div>
<p>If not, then you should install a different compiler that has no
hard-coded path to gas. In the worst case pass <code class="code">--disable-asm</code>
to configure.

<p>If you compiled FFmpeg libraries statically and you want to use them to
build your own shared library, you may need to force PIC support (with
<code class="code">--enable-pic</code> during FFmpeg configure) and add the following option
to your project LDFLAGS:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">-Wl,-Bsymbolic
</pre></div>
<p>If your target platform requires position independent binaries, you should
pass the correct linking flag (e.g. <code class="code">-pie</code>) to <code class="code">--extra-ldexeflags</code>.

<p>BSD make will not build FFmpeg, you need to install and use GNU Make
(<code class="command">gmake</code>).

<p>GNU Make is required to build FFmpeg, so you have to invoke (<code class="command">gmake</code>),
standard Solaris Make will not work. When building with a non-c99 front-end
(gcc, generic suncc) add either <code class="code">--extra-libs=/usr/lib/values-xpg6.o</code>
or <code class="code">--extra-libs=/usr/lib/64/values-xpg6.o</code> to the configure options
since the libc is not c99-compliant by default. The probes performed by
configure may raise an exception leading to the death of configure itself
due to a bug in the system shell. Simply invoke a different shell such as
bash directly to work around this:

<p>The toolchain provided with Xcode is sufficient to build the basic
unaccelerated code.
</p>
<p>Mac OS X on PowerPC or ARM (iPhone) requires a preprocessor from
<a class="url" href="https://github.com/FFmpeg/gas-preprocessor">https://github.com/FFmpeg/gas-preprocessor</a> or
<a class="url" href="https://github.com/yuvi/gas-preprocessor">https://github.com/yuvi/gas-preprocessor</a>(currently outdated) to build the optimized
assembly functions. Put the Perl script somewhere
in your PATH, FFmpeg&rsquo;s configure will pick it up automatically.
</p>
<p>Mac OS X on amd64 and x86 requires <code class="command">nasm</code> to build most of the
optimized assembly functions. <a class="uref" href="http://www.finkproject.org/">Fink</a>,
<a class="uref" href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix">Gentoo Prefix</a>,

<p>FFmpeg can be built to run natively on Windows using the MinGW-w64
toolchain. Install the latest versions of MSYS2 and MinGW-w64 from
<a class="url" href="http://msys2.github.io/">http://msys2.github.io/</a> and/or <a class="url" href="http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/">http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/</a>.
You can find detailed installation instructions in the download section and
the FAQ.
</p>
<p>Notes:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>Building for the MSYS environment is discouraged, MSYS2 provides a full
MinGW-w64 environment through <samp class="file">mingw64_shell.bat</samp> or
<samp class="file">mingw32_shell.bat</samp> that should be used instead of the environment
provided by <samp class="file">msys2_shell.bat</samp>.
</li><li>Building using MSYS2 can be sped up by disabling implicit rules in the
Makefile by calling <code class="code">make -r</code> instead of plain <code class="code">make</code>. This
speed up is close to non-existent for normal one-off builds and is only
noticeable when running make for a second time (for example during
<code class="code">make install</code>).
</li><li>In order to compile FFplay, you must have the MinGW development library
of <a class="uref" href="http://www.libsdl.org/">SDL</a> and <code class="code">pkg-config</code> installed.
</li><li>By using <code class="code">./configure --enable-shared</code> when configuring FFmpeg,
you can build the FFmpeg libraries (e.g. libavutil, libavcodec,
libavformat) as DLLs.

<p>The MSYS2 MinGW-w64 environment provides ready to use toolchains and dependencies
through <code class="command">pacman</code>.
</p>
<p>Make sure to use <samp class="file">mingw64_shell.bat</samp> or <samp class="file">mingw32_shell.bat</samp> to have
the correct MinGW-w64 environment. The default install provides shortcuts to
them under <code class="command">MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell</code> and <code class="command">MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell</code>.

<p>FFmpeg can be built with MSVC 2013 or later.
</p>
<p>You will need the following prerequisites:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li><a class="uref" href="http://msys2.github.io/">MSYS2</a>
</li><li><a class="uref" href="http://www.nasm.us/">NASM</a>
(Also available via MSYS2&rsquo;s package manager.)
</li></ul>
<p>To set up a proper environment in MSYS2, you need to run <code class="code">msys_shell.bat</code> from
the Visual Studio or Intel Compiler command prompt.
</p>
<p>Place <code class="code">nasm.exe</code> somewhere in your <code class="code">PATH</code>.
</p>
<p>Next, make sure any other headers and libs you want to use, such as zlib, are
located in a spot that the compiler can see. Do so by modifying the <code class="code">LIB</code>
and <code class="code">INCLUDE</code> environment variables to include the <strong class="strong">Windows-style</strong>
paths to these directories. Alternatively, you can try to use the
<code class="code">--extra-cflags</code>/<code class="code">--extra-ldflags</code> configure options.
</p>
<p>Finally, run:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">For MSVC:
./configure --toolchain=msvc
For ICL:
./configure --toolchain=icl
make
make install
</pre></div>
<p>If you wish to compile shared libraries, add <code class="code">--enable-shared</code> to your
configure options. Note that due to the way MSVC and ICL handle DLL imports and
exports, you cannot compile static and shared libraries at the same time, and
enabling shared libraries will automatically disable the static ones.
</p>
<p>Notes:
</p>
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>If you wish to build with zlib support, you will have to grab a compatible
zlib binary from somewhere, with an MSVC import lib, or if you wish to link
statically, you can follow the instructions below to build a compatible
<code class="code">zlib.lib</code> with MSVC. Regardless of which method you use, you must still
follow step 3, or compilation will fail.
<ol class="enumerate">
<li> Grab the <a class="uref" href="http://zlib.net/">zlib sources</a>.
</li><li> Edit <code class="code">win32/Makefile.msc</code> so that it uses -MT instead of -MD, since
this is how FFmpeg is built as well.
</li><li> Edit <code class="code">zconf.h</code> and remove its inclusion of <code class="code">unistd.h</code>. This gets
erroneously included when building FFmpeg.
</li><li> Run <code class="code">nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc</code>.
</li><li> Move <code class="code">zlib.lib</code>, <code class="code">zconf.h</code>, and <code class="code">zlib.h</code> to somewhere MSVC
can see.
</li></ol>
</li><li>FFmpeg has been tested with the following on i686 and x86_64:
<ul class="itemize mark-bullet">
<li>Visual Studio 2013 Pro and Express
</li><li>Intel Composer XE 2013
</li><li>Intel Composer XE 2013 SP1
</li></ul>
<p>Anything else is not officially supported.

<p>If you plan to link with MSVC-built static libraries, you will need
to make sure you have <code class="code">Runtime Library</code> set to
<code class="code">Multi-threaded (/MT)</code> in your project&rsquo;s settings.
</p>
<p>You will need to define <code class="code">inline</code> to something MSVC understands:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">#define inline __inline
</pre></div>
<p>Also note, that as stated in <strong class="strong">Microsoft Visual C++</strong>, you will need
an MSVC-compatible <a class="uref" href="http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/">inttypes.h</a>.
</p>
<p>If you plan on using import libraries created by dlltool, you must
set <code class="code">References</code> to <code class="code">No (/OPT:NOREF)</code> under the linker optimization
settings, otherwise the resulting binaries will fail during runtime.
This is not required when using import libraries generated by <code class="code">lib.exe</code>.
This issue is reported upstream at
<a class="url" href="http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12633">http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12633</a>.
</p>
<p>To create import libraries that work with the <code class="code">/OPT:REF</code> option
(which is enabled by default in Release mode), follow these steps:
</p>
<ol class="enumerate">
<li> Open the <em class="emph">Visual Studio Command Prompt</em>.
<p>Alternatively, in a normal command line prompt, call <samp class="file">vcvars32.bat</samp>
which sets up the environment variables for the Visual C++ tools
(the standard location for this file is something like
<samp class="file">C:\Program Files (x86_\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat</samp>).
</p>
</li><li> Enter the <samp class="file">bin</samp> directory where the created LIB and DLL files
are stored.
</li><li> Generate new import libraries with <code class="command">lib.exe</code>:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">lib /machine:i386 /def:..\lib\foo-version.def /out:foo.lib
</pre></div>
<p>Replace <code class="code">foo-version</code> and <code class="code">foo</code> with the respective library names.
</p>

<p>You must use the MinGW cross compilation tools available at
<a class="url" href="http://www.mingw.org/">http://www.mingw.org/</a>.
</p>
<p>Then configure FFmpeg with the following options:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">./configure --target-os=mingw32 --cross-prefix=i386-mingw32msvc-
</pre></div>
<p>(you can change the cross-prefix according to the prefix chosen for the
MinGW tools).
</p>
<p>Then you can easily test FFmpeg with <a class="uref" href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine</a>.

<p>Please use Cygwin 1.7.x as the obsolete 1.5.x Cygwin versions lack
llrint() in its C library.
</p>
<p>Install your Cygwin with all the &quot;Base&quot; packages, plus the
following &quot;Devel&quot; ones:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">binutils, gcc4-core, make, git, mingw-runtime, texinfo
</pre></div>
<p>In order to run FATE you will also need the following &quot;Utils&quot; packages:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">diffutils
</pre></div>
<p>If you want to build FFmpeg with additional libraries, download Cygwin
&quot;Devel&quot; packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">libogg-devel, libvorbis-devel
</pre></div>
<p>These library packages are only available from
<a class="uref" href="http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/">Cygwin Ports</a>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">libSDL-devel, libgsm-devel, libmp3lame-devel,
speex-devel, libtheora-devel, libxvidcore-devel
</pre></div>
<p>The recommendation for x264 is to build it from source, as it evolves too
quickly for Cygwin Ports to be up to date.

<p>With Cygwin you can create Windows binaries that do not need the cygwin1.dll.
</p>
<p>Just install your Cygwin as explained before, plus these additional
&quot;Devel&quot; packages:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, mingw-zlib
</pre></div>
<p>and add some special flags to your configure invocation.
</p>
<p>For a static build run
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">./configure --target-os=mingw32 --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin
</pre></div>
<p>and for a build with shared libraries
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">./configure --target-os=mingw32 --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin

<p>FFmpeg does not intend to support the Windows ARM64EC build configuration;
patches for changing the individual libraries for the purposes of ARM64EC will
not be accepted.
</p>
<p>It may still be possible to build FFmpeg in this build configuration;
such a build may seem to work to some extent. Such a build may have some
amounts of ABI inconsistencies though - which we are not willing to fix.
</p>
<p>(Changing aarch64 assembly code to strictly support ARM64EC would require
ifdeffing/changing essentially all such assembly code, and would be a
huge maintenance burden. Additionally, changing the library ABI
surfaces to fix ABI inconsistencies could require extensive and intrusive
changes.)
