[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] ffmpeg: add -no_stdin option.

[Stefano Sabatini]

On date Wednesday 2012-07-11 21:29:33 +0200, Nicolas George encoded:
> Allows to disable interaction from standard input.
> Useful, for example, if ffmpeg is in the background process group.
> Roughly the same result can be achieved with "ffmpeg ... < /dev/null"
> but it requires a shell.

>From what I understand -no_stdin would set "using_stdin" to 1, which
seems backward, I suppose you could just add the -stdin option, and
use -nostdin to force it to 0.

Also missing doc/ffmpeg.texi update.
