[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 01/11] avformat/avformat: Update AVInputFormat.read_packet documentation

Tue Jan 7 15:55:39 EET 2020


Since bae8844e351, the packet is automatically unreferenced in
ff_read_packet() when an error is returned; but the documentation of
this of AVInputFormat.read_packet has not been updated accordingly.
