31  * @defgroup lavd libavdevice
32  * Special devices muxing/demuxing library.
33  *
34  * Libavdevice is a complementary library to @ref libavf "libavformat". It
35  * provides various "special" platform-specific muxers and demuxers, e.g. for
36  * grabbing devices, audio capture and playback etc. As a consequence, the
37  * (de)muxers in libavdevice are of the AVFMT_NOFILE type (they use their own
38  * I/O functions). The filename passed to avformat_open_input() often does not
39  * refer to an actually existing file, but has some special device-specific
40  * meaning - e.g. for xcbgrab it is the display name.
41  *
42  * To use libavdevice, simply call avdevice_register_all() to register all
43  * compiled muxers and demuxers. They all use standard libavformat API.
