4 The libavdevice library provides the same interface as
5 libavformat. Namely, an input device is considered like a demuxer, and
6 an output device like a muxer, and the interface and generic device
7 options are the same provided by libavformat (see the ffmpeg-formats
8 manual).

10 In addition each input or output device may support so-called private
11 options, which are specific for that component.
12
13 Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
14 FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the device
15 @code{AVFormatContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
16 for programmatic use.
