| Null muxer. | |||||
| This muxer does not generate any output file, it is mainly useful for | |||||
| testing or benchmarking purposes. | |||||
| For example to benchmark decoding with @file{ffmpeg} you can use the | |||||
| command: | |||||
| @example | |||||
| ffmpeg -benchmark -i INPUT -f null out.null | |||||
| @end example | |||||
| Note that the above command does not read or write the @file{out.null} | |||||
| file, but specifying the output file is required by the @file{ffmpeg} | |||||
| syntax. | |||||
| Alternatively you can write the command as: | |||||
| @example | |||||
| ffmpeg -benchmark -i INPUT -f null - | |||||
| @end example | |||||
| @c man end MUXERS | @c man end MUXERS | ||||
