#define AV_PKT_FLAG_CORRUPT 0x0002

The packet content is corrupted.

Definition at line 595 of file packet.h.

◆ AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD

#define AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD 0x0004

Function Documentation

◆ av_packet_alloc()

AVPacket* av_packet_alloc ( void )

Allocate an AVPacket and set its fields to default values.

The resulting struct must be freed using av_packet_free().

Returns: An AVPacket filled with default values or NULL on failure.

Note: this only allocates the AVPacket itself, not the data buffers. Those must be allocated through other means such as av_new_packet.

Create a new packet that references the same data as src.

This is a shortcut for av_packet_alloc()+av_packet_ref().

Returns: newly created AVPacket on success, NULL on error.

See also: av_packet_alloc; av_packet_ref

Parameters

pkt	packet to be freed. The pointer will be set to NULL.

Note: passing NULL is a no-op.

◆ av_packet_copy_props()

int av_packet_copy_props	(	AVPacket *	dst,
		const AVPacket *	src
	)

Copy only "properties" fields from src to dst.

Properties for the purpose of this function are all the fields beside those related to the packet data (buf, data, size)

Parameters

dst	Destination packet
src	Source packet

Returns: 0 on success AVERROR on failure.

◆ av_packet_make_refcounted()

int av_packet_make_refcounted ( AVPacket * pkt )

Ensure the data described by a given packet is reference counted.

Note: This function does not ensure that the reference will be writable. Use av_packet_make_writable instead for that purpose.

See also: av_packet_ref; av_packet_make_writable

Parameters

pkt	packet whose data should be made reference counted.

Returns: 0 on success, a negative AVERROR on error. On failure, the packet is unchanged.

◆ av_packet_make_writable()

int av_packet_make_writable ( AVPacket * pkt )

Create a writable reference for the data described by a given packet, avoiding data copy if possible.

Parameters

pkt	Packet whose data should be made writable.

Returns: 0 on success, a negative AVERROR on failure. On failure, the packet is unchanged.

◆ av_packet_rescale_ts()

void av_packet_rescale_ts	(	AVPacket *	pkt,
		AVRational	tb_src,
		AVRational	tb_dst
	)

Convert valid timing fields (timestamps / durations) in a packet from one timebase to another.

Timestamps with unknown values (AV_NOPTS_VALUE) will be ignored.

Parameters

pkt	packet on which the conversion will be performed
tb_src	source timebase, in which the timing fields in pkt are expressed
tb_dst	destination timebase, to which the timing fields will be converted

◆ av_container_fifo_alloc_avpacket()

struct AVContainerFifo* av_container_fifo_alloc_avpacket ( unsigned flags )

Allocate an AVContainerFifo instance for AVPacket.

Parameters

flags currently unused
