21 @c man begin DEVICE OPTIONS
23 The libavdevice library provides the same interface as
24 libavformat. Namely, an input device is considered like a demuxer, and
25 an output device like a muxer, and the interface and generic device
26 options are the same provided by libavformat (see the @ref{FFmpeg
27 formats} manual page).
29 In addition each input or output device may support so-called private
30 options, which are specific for that component.
32 Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
33 FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the device
34 @code{AVFormatContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
