gpac - Man Page

gpac [options]FILTER[LINK]FILTER[...]
gpac is GPAC's command line tool for setting up and running filter chains.

FILTER: a single filter declaration (e.g., -i file, -o dump, inspect, ...), see gpac -h doc.
[LINK]: a link instruction (e.g., @, @2, @2#StreamType=Visual, ...), see gpac -h doc.
[options]: one or more option strings, each starting with a - character.
 - an option using a single - indicates an option of gpac (see gpac -hx) or of libgpac (see gpac -hx core)
 - an option using -- indicates a global filter or meta-filter (e.g. FFMPEG) option, e.g. --block_size=1000 or --profile=Baseline (see gpac -h doc)
 
Filter declaration order may impact the link resolver which will try linking in declaration order. Most of the time for simple graphs, this has no impact. However, for complex graphs with no link declarations, this can lead to different results.  
Options do not require any specific order, and may be present anywhere, including between link statements or filter declarations.  
Boolean values do not need any value specified. Other types shall be formatted as opt=val, except .I -i, -src, .I -o, -dst and .I -h options.

The session can be interrupted at any time using ctrl+c, which can also be used to toggle global reporting.

* OPT: look in filter names and options for OPT and suggest possible matches if none found. Use -hx to look for keyword in all option descriptions

-p (string)

use indicated profile for the global GPAC config. If not found, config file is created. If a file path is indicated, this will load profile from that file. Otherwise, this will create a directory of the specified name and store new config there. The following reserved names create a temporary profile (not stored on disk):
* 0: full profile
* n: null profile disabling shared modules/filters and system paths in config (may break GUI and other filters)
Appending :reload to the profile name will force recreating a new configuration file

-creds (string)

setup credentials as used by servers

 
The following libgpac core options allow customizing the filter session:
 

-dbg-edges

-full-link

throw error if any PID in the filter graph cannot be linked

-no-dynf

disable dynamically loaded filters

-no-block (Enum, default: no)

disable blocking mode of filters
* no: enable blocking mode
* fanout: disable blocking on fan-out, unblocking the PID as soon as one of its destinations requires a packet
* all: disable blocking

-no-reg

disable regulation (no sleep) in session

-no-reassign

disable source filter reassignment in PID graph resolution

-sched (Enum, default: free)

set scheduler mode
* free: lock-free queues except for task list (default)
* lock: mutexes for queues when several threads
* freex: lock-free queues including for task lists (experimental)
* flock: mutexes for queues even when no thread (debug mode)
* direct: no threads and direct dispatch of tasks whenever possible (debug mode)

-max-chain (int, default: 6)

set maximum chain length when resolving filter links. Default value covers for [ in -> ] dmx -> reframe -> decode -> encode -> reframe -> mx [ -> out]. Filter chains loaded for adaptation (e.g. pixel format change) are loaded after the link resolution. Setting the value to 0 disables dynamic link resolution. You will have to specify the entire chain manually

-max-sleep (int, default: 50)

set maximum sleep time slot in milliseconds when regulation is enabled

-threads (int)

set N extra thread for the session. -1 means use all available cores

-no-probe

disable data probing on sources and relies on extension (faster load but more error-prone)

-no-argchk

disable tracking of argument usage (all arguments will be considered as used)

-blacklist (string)

blacklist the filters listed in the given string (comma-separated list). If first character is '-', this is a whitelist, i.e. only filters listed in the given string will be allowed

-no-graph-cache

disable internal caching of filter graph connections. If disabled, the graph will be recomputed at each link resolution (lower memory usage but slower)

-no-reservoir

disable memory recycling for packets and properties. This uses much less memory but stresses the system memory allocator much more

-buffer-gen (int, default: 1000)

default buffer size in microseconds for generic pids

-buffer-dec (int, default: 1000000)

default buffer size in microseconds for decoder input pids

-buffer-units (int, default: 1)

default buffer size in frames when timing is not available

The gpac command line can become quite complex when many sources or filters are used. In order to simplify this, an alias system is provided.

To assign an alias, use the syntax gpac -alias="NAME VALUE".
* `NAME`: shall be a single string, with no space.
* `VALUE`: the list of argument this alias replaces. If not set, the alias is destroyed

When parsing arguments, the alias will be replace by its value.
Example
gpac -alias="output aout vout"

This allows later audio and video playback using gpac -i src.mp4 output

Aliases can use arguments from the command line. The allowed syntaxes are:
* `@{a}`: replaced by the value of the argument with index a after the alias
* `@{a,b}`: replaced by the value of the arguments with index a and b
* `@{a:b}`: replaced by the value of the arguments between index a and b
* `@{-a,b}`: replaced by the value of the arguments with index a and b, inserting a list separator (comma by default) between them
* `@{-a:b}`: replaced by the value of the arguments between index a and b, inserting a list separator (comma by default) between them
* `@{+a,b}`: clones the parent word in the alias for a and b, replacing this pattern in each clone by the corresponding argument
* `@{+a:b}`: clones the parent word in the alias for each argument between index a and b, replacing this pattern in each clone by the corresponding argument

The specified index can be:
* forward index: a strictly positive integer, 1 being the first argument after the alias
* backward index: the value 'n' (or 'N') to indicate the last argument on the command line. This can be followed by -x to rewind arguments (e.g. @{n-1} is the before last argument)

Before solving aliases, all option arguments are moved at the beginning of the command line. This implies that alias arguments cannot be options.
Arguments not used by any aliases are kept on the command line, other ones are removed

Example
-alias="foo src=@{N} dst=test.mp4"

The command gpac foo f1 f2 expands to gpac src=f2 dst=test.mp4 f1
Example
-alias="list: inspect src=@{+:N}"

The command gpac list f1 f2 f3 expands to gpac inspect src=f1 src=f2 src=f3
Example
-alias="list inspect src=@{+2:N}"

The command gpac list f1 f2 f3 expands to gpac inspect src=f2 src=f3 f1
Example
-alias="plist aout vout flist:srcs=@{-,N}"

The command gpac plist f1 f2 f3 expands to gpac aout vout flist:srcs="f1,f2,f3"  

Alias documentation can be set using gpac -aliasdoc="NAME VALUE", with NAME the alias name and VALUE the documentation.
Alias documentation will then appear in gpac help.

Some servers in GPAC can use user-based and group-based authentication.
The information is stored by default in the file users.cfg located in the GPAC profile directory.
The file can be overwritten using the .I -users option.

By default, this file does not exist until at least one user has been configured.

The .I creds option allows inspecting or modifying the users and groups information. The syntax for the option value is:
* `show` or no value: prints the users.cfg file
* `reset`: deletes the users.cfg file (i.e. deletes all users and groups)
* `NAME`: show information of user NAME
* `+NAME`: adds user NAME
* `+NAME:I1=V1[,I2=V2]`: sets info I1 with value V1 to user NAME. The info name password resets password without prompt.
* `-NAME`: removes user NAME
* `_NAME`: force password change of user NAME
* `@NAME`: show information of group NAME
* `@+NAME[:u1[,u2]]`: adds group NAME if not existing and adds specified users to group
* `@-NAME:u1[,u2]`: removes specified users from group NAME
* `@-NAME`: removes group NAME

By default all added users are members of the group users.
Passwords are not stored, only a SHA256 hash is stored.

Servers using authentication rules can use a configuration file instead of a directory name.
This configuration file is organized in sections, each section name describing a directory.
Example
[somedir]
ru=foo
rg=bar

The following keys are defined per directory, but may be ignored by the server depending on its operation mode:
* ru: comma-separated list of user names with read access to the directory
* rg: comma-separated list of group names with read access to the directory
* wu: comma-separated list of user names with write access to the directory
* wg: comma-separated list of group names with write access to the directory
* mcast: comma-separated list of user names with multicast creation rights (RTSP server only)
* filters: comma-separated list of filter names for which the directory is valid. If not found or all, applies to all filters

Rights can be configured on sub-directories by adding sections for the desired directories.
Example
[d1]
rg=bar
[d1/d2]
ru=foo

With this configuration:
- the directory d1 will be readable by all members of group bar
- the directory d1/d2 will be readable by user foo only

Servers in GPAC currently only support the Basic HTTP authentication scheme, and should preferably be run over TLS.

GPAC uses a configuration file to modify default options of libgpac and filters. This file is called GPAC.cfg and is located:
- on Windows platforms, in C:UsersOAppDataRoamingGPAC or in C:Program FilesGPAC.
- on iOS platforms, in a .gpac folder in the app storage directory.
- on Android platforms, in /sdcard/GPAC/ if this directory exists, otherwise in /data/data/io.gpac.gpac/GPAC.
- on other platforms, in a $HOME/.gpac/.

Applications in GPAC can also specify a different configuration file through the .I -p profile option. EX gpac -p=foo []
This will load configuration from $HOME/.gpac/foo/GPAC.cfg, creating it if needed.
The reserved name 0 is used to disable configuration file writing.

The configuration file is structured in sections, each made of one or more keys:
- section foo is declared as [foo]n
- key bar with value N is declared as bar=N0 The key value N is not interpreted and always handled as ASCII text.

By default the configuration file only holds a few system specific options and directories. It is possible to serialize the entire set of options to the configuration file, using .I -wc .I -wf.
This should be avoided as the resulting configuration file size will be quite large, hence larger memory usage for the applications.
The options specified in the configuration file may be overridden by the values in restrict.cfg file located in GPAC share system directory (e.g. /usr/share/gpac or C:Program FilesGPAC), if present; this allows enforcing system-wide configuration values.
Note: The methods describe in this section apply to any application in GPAC transferring their arguments to libgpac. This is the case for gpac and MP4Box.

The options from libgpac core can also be assigned though the config file from section core using option name without initial dash as key name.
Example
[core]
threads=2

Setting this in the config file is equivalent to using -threads=2.
The options specified at prompt overrides the value of the config file.

It is possible to alter the default value of a filter option by modifying the configuration file. Filter foo options are stored in section [filter@foo], using option name and value as key-value pair. Options specified through the configuration file do not take precedence over options specified at prompt or through alias.
Example
[filter@rtpin]
interleave=yes

This will force the rtp input filter to always request RTP over RTSP by default.
To generate a configuration file with all filters options serialized, use .I -wf.

It is possible to specify options global to multiple filters using --OPTNAME=VAL. Global options do not override filter options but take precedence over options loaded from configuration file.
This will set option OPTNAME, when present, to VAL in any loaded filter.
Example
--buffer=100 -i file vout aout

This is equivalent to specifying vout:buffer=100 aout:buffer=100.
Example
--buffer=100 -i file vout aout:buffer=10

This is equivalent to specifying vout:buffer=100 aout:buffer=10.
Warning: This syntax only applies to regular filter options. It cannot be used with builtin shortcuts (gfreg, enc, ...).
Meta-filter options can be set in the same way using the syntax --OPT_NAME=VAL.
Example
--profile=Baseline -i file.cmp -o dump.264

This is equivalent to specifying -o dump.264:profile=Baseline.
 
For both syntaxes, it is possible to specify the filter registry name of the option, using --FNAME:OPTNAME=VAL or --FNAME@OPTNAME=VAL.
In this case the option will only be set for filters which are instances of registry FNAME. This is used when several registries use same option names.
Example
--flist@timescale=100 -i plist1 -i plist2 -o live.mpd

This will set the timescale option on the playlists filters but not on the dasher filter.

output to both file and stderr

Filters are configurable processing units consuming and producing data packets. These packets are carried between filters through a data channel called PID. A PID is in charge of allocating/tracking data packets, and passing the packets to the destination filter(s). A filter output PID may be connected to zero or more filters. This fan-out is handled internally by GPAC (no such thing as a tee filter in GPAC).
Note: When a PID cannot be connected to any filter, a warning is thrown and all packets dispatched on this PID will be destroyed. The session may however still run, unless .I -full-link is set.
 
Each output PID carries a set of properties describing the data it delivers (e.g. width, height, codec, ...). Properties can be built-in (see gpac -h props ), or user-defined. Each PID tracks its properties changes and triggers filter reconfiguration during packet processing. This allows the filter chain to be reconfigured at run time, potentially reloading part of the chain (e.g. unload a video decoder when switching from compressed to uncompressed sources).
 
Each filter exposes a set of argument to configure itself, using property types and values described as strings formatted with separators. This help is given with default separator sets :=#,@ to specify filters, properties and options. Use .I -seps to change them.

* boolean: formatted as yes,true,1 or no,false,0
* enumeration (for filter arguments only): must use the syntax given in the argument description, otherwise value 0 (first in enum) is assumed.
* 1-dimension (numbers, floats, ints...): formatted as value[unit], where unit can be k,K (x 1000) or m,M (x 1000000) or g,G (x 1000000000) or sec (x 1000) or min (x 60000). +I means max float/int/uint value, -I min float/int/uint value.
* fraction: formatted as num/den or num-den or num, in which case the denominator is 1 if num is an integer, or 1000000 if num is a floating-point value.
* unsigned 32 bit integer: formatted as number or hexadecimal using the format 0xAABBCCDD.
* N-dimension (vectors): formatted as DIM1xDIM2[xDIM3[xDIM4]] values, without unit multiplier.
 * For 2D integer vectors, the following resolution names can be used: 360, 480, 576, 720, 1080, hd, 2k, 2160, 4k, 4320, 8k
* string: formatted as:
 * `value`: copies value to string.
 * `file@FILE`: load string from local FILE (opened in binary mode).
 * `bxml@FILE`: binarize XML from local FILE and set property type to data - see https://wiki.gpac.io/NHML-Format.
* data: formatted as:
 * `size@address`: constant data block, not internally copied; size gives the size of the block, address the data pointer.
 * `0xBYTESTRING`: data block specified in hexadecimal, internally copied.
 * `file@FILE`: load data from local FILE (opened in binary mode).
 * `bxml@FILE`: binarize XML from local FILE - see https://wiki.gpac.io/NHML-Format.
 * `b64@DATA`: load data from base-64 encoded DATA.
* pointer: pointer address as formatted by %p in C.
* string lists: formatted as val1,val2[,...]. Each value can also use file@FILE syntax.
* integer lists: formatted as val1,val2[,...]

Note: The special characters in property formats (0x,/,-,+I,-I,x) cannot be configured.

Numbers and fraction can be expressed as THH:MM:SS.ms, TMM:SS.ms, THH:MM:SS or TMM:SS, translated into milliseconds.

Each filter exposes one or more sets of capabilities, called capability bundle, which are property type and values that must be matched or excluded by connecting PIDs.
To check the possible sources and destination for a filter FNAME, use gpac -h links FNAME

The filter graph resolver uses this information together with the PID properties to link the different filters.

Link directives, when provided, specify which source a filter can accept connections from.
They do not specify which destination a filter can connect to.

Unless explicitly disabled (see .I -max-chain), the filter engine will resolve implicit or explicit (LINK) connections between filters and will allocate any filter chain required to connect the filters. In doing so, it loads new filters with arguments inherited from both the source and the destination.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4:OPT -o file.aac -o file.264

This will pass the :OPT to all filters loaded between the source and the two destinations.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o file.aac:OPT -o file.264

This will pass the :OPT to all filters loaded between the source and the file.aac destination.
Note: the destination arguments inherited are the arguments placed AFTER the dst= option.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 fout:OPTFOO:dst=file.aac:OPTBAR

This will pass the :OPTBAR to all filters loaded between file.mp4 source and file.aac destination, but not OPTFOO.
Arguments inheriting can be stopped by using the keyword gfloc: arguments after the keyword will not be inherited.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o file.aac:OPTFOO:gfloc:OPTBAR -o file.264

This will pass :OPTFOO to all filters loaded between file.mp4 source and file.aac destination, but not OPTBAR
Arguments are by default tracked to check if they were used by the filter chain, and a warning is thrown if this is not the case.
It may be useful to specify arguments which may not be consumed depending on the graph resolution; the specific keyword gfopt indicates that arguments after the keyword will not be tracked.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o file.aac:OPTFOO:gfopt:OPTBAR -o file.264

This will warn if OPTFOO is not consumed, but will not track OPTBAR.
 
A filter may be assigned a name (for inspection purposes, not inherited) using :N=name option. This name is not used in link resolution and may be changed at runtime by the filter instance.
 
A filter may be assigned a tag (any string) using :TAG=name option. This tag does not need to be unique, and can be used to exclude filter in link resolution. Tags are not inherited, therefore dynamically loaded filters never have a tag.
 
A filter may also be assigned an inherited tag (any string) using :ITAG=name option. Such tags are inherited, and are typically used to track dynamically loaded filters.
 

Destination URLs can be dynamically constructed using templates. Pattern $KEYWORD$ is replaced in the template with the resolved value and $KEYWORD%%0Nd$ is replaced in the template with the resolved integer, padded with up to N zeros if needed.
KEYWORD is case sensitive, and may be present multiple times in the string. Supported KEYWORD:
* num: replaced by file number if defined, 0 otherwise
* PID: ID of the source PID
* URL: URL of source file
* File: path on disk for source file; if not found, use URL if set, or PID name otherwise
* Type: name of stream type of PID (video, audio ...)
* OType: same as Type but uses original type when stream is encrypted (e.g. move from crypt to video)
* p4cc=ABCD: uses PID property with 4CC value ABCD
* pname=VAL: uses PID property with name VAL
* cts, dts, dur, sap: uses properties of first packet in PID at template resolution time
* OTHER: locates property 4CC for the given name, or property name if no 4CC matches.
 
$$ is an escape for $

Templating can be useful when encoding several qualities in one pass.
Example
gpac -i dump.yuv:size=640x360 vcrop:wnd=0x0x320x180 c=avc:b=1M @2 c=avc:b=750k -o dump_$CropOrigin$x$Width$x$Height$.264

This will create a cropped version of the source, encoded in AVC at 1M, and a full version of the content in AVC at 750k. Outputs will be dump_0x0x320x180.264 for the cropped version and dump_0x0x640x360.264 for the non-cropped one.

When a filter accepts a single connection and has a connected input, it is no longer available for dynamic resolution. There may be cases where this behavior is undesired. Take a HEIF file with N items and do:
Example
gpac -i img.heif -o dump_$ItemID$.jpg

In this case, only one item (likely the first declared in the file) will connect to the destination.
Other items will not be connected since the destination only accepts one input PID.
Example
gpac -i img.heif -o dump_$ItemID$.jpg

In this case, the destination will be cloned for each item, and all will be exported to different JPEGs thanks to URL templating.
Example
gpac -i vid.mpd c=avc:FID=1 -o transcode.mpd:SID=1

In this case, the encoder will be cloned for each video PIDs in the source, and the destination will only use PIDs coming from the encoders.

When implicit linking is enabled, all filters are by default clonable. This allows duplicating the processing for each PIDs of the same type.
Example
gpac -i dual_audio resample:osr=48k c=aac -o dst

The resampler filter will be cloned for each audio PID, and the encoder will be cloned for each resampler output.
You can explicitly deactivate the cloning instructions:
Example
gpac -i dual_audio resample:osr=48k:clone=0 c=aac -o dst

The first audio will connect to the resample filter, the second to the enc filter and the resample output will connect to a clone of the enc filter.

There can be cases where the number of desired outputs depends on the source content, for example dumping a multiplex of N services into N files. When the destination involves multiplexing the input PIDs, the :clone option is not enough since the multiplexer will always accept the input PIDs.
To handle this, it is possible to use a PID property name in the sourceID of a filter with the value * or an empty value. In this case, whenever a new PID with a new value for the property is found, the filter with such sourceID will be dynamically cloned.
Warning: This feature should only be called with a single property set to * (or empty) per source ID, results are undefined otherwise.
Example
gpac -i source.ts -o file_$ServiceID$.mp4:SID=*#ServiceID=*
gpac -i source.ts -o file_$ServiceID$.mp4:SID=#ServiceID=

In this case, each new ServiceID value found when connecting PIDs to the destination will create a new destination file.

Cloning in implicit linking mode applies to output as well:
Example
gpac -i dual_audio -o dst_$PID$.aac

Each audio track will be dumped to aac (potentially reencoding if needed).

It is possible to define properties on output PIDs that will be declared by a filter. This allows tagging parts of the graph with different properties than other parts (for example ServiceID). The syntax is the same as filter option, and uses the fragment separator to identify properties, e.g. #Name=Value.
This sets output PIDs property (4cc, built-in name or any name) to the given value. Value can be omitted for boolean (defaults to true, e.g. :#Alpha).
Non built-in properties are parsed as follows:
- file@FOO will be declared as string with a value set to the content of FOO.
- bxml@FOO will be declared as data with a value set to the binarized content of FOO.
- FOO will be declared as string with a value set to FOO.
- TYPE@FOO will be parsed according to TYPE. If the type is not recognized, the entire value is copied as string. See gpac -h props for defined types.

User-assigned PID properties on filter fA will be inherited by all filters dynamically loaded to solve fA -> fB connection.
If fB also has user-assigned PID properties, these only apply starting from fB in the chain and are not inherited by filters between fA and fB.

Warning: Properties are not filtered and override the properties of the filter's output PIDs, be careful not to break the session by overriding core properties such as width/height/samplerate/... !
Example
gpac -i v1.mp4:#ServiceID=4 -i v2.mp4:#ServiceID=2 -o dump.ts

This will multiplex the streams in dump.ts, using ServiceID 4 for PIDs from v1.mp4 and ServiceID 2 for PIDs from v2.mp4.

PID properties may be conditionally assigned by checking other PID properties. The syntax uses parenthesis (not configurable) after the property assignment sign:
#Prop=(CP=CV)VAL
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV.
#Prop=(CP=CV)VAL,(CP2=CV2)VAL2
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV, and to VAL2 for PIDs with property CP2 equal to CV2.
#Prop=(CP=CV)(CP2=CV2)VAL
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV and property CP2 equal to CV2.
#Prop=(CP=CV)VAL,()DEFAULT
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV, or to DEFAULT for other PIDs.
The condition syntax is the same as source ID fragment syntax.
Note: When set, the default value (empty condition) always matches the PID, therefore it should be placed last in the list of conditions.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:#MyProp=(audio)"Super Audio",(video)"Super Video"

This will assign property MyProp to Super Audio for audio PIDs and to Super Video for video PIDs.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:#MyProp=(audio1)"Super Audio"

This will assign property MyProp to Super Audio for first audio PID declared.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:#MyProp=(Width+1280)HD

This will assign property MyProp to HD for PIDs with property Width greater than 1280.

The property value can use templates with the following keywords:
* $GINC(init[,inc]) or @GINC(...): replaced by integer for each new output PID of the filter (see specific filter options for details on syntax)
* PROP (enclosed between `$` or `@`): replaced by serialized value of property PROP (name or 4CC) of the PID or with empty string if no such property
Example
gpac -i source.ts:#ASID=$PID$

This will assign DASH AdaptationSet ID to the PID ID value.
Example
gpac -i source.ts:#RepresentationID=$ServiceID$

This will assign DASH Representation ID to the PID ServiceID value.

It is possible to use a file to define options of a filter, by specifying the target file name as an option without value, i.e. :myopts.txt.
Warning: Only local files are allowed.
An option file is a simple text file containing one or more options or PID properties on one or more lines.
- A line beginning with "//" is a comment and is ignored (not configurable).
- A line beginning with ":" indicates an escaped option (the entire line is parsed as a single option).
Options in an option file may point to other option files, with a maximum redirection level of 5.
An option file declaration (filter:myopts.txt) follows the same inheritance rules as regular options.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:myopts.txt:foo=bar -o dst

Any filter loaded between source.mp4 and dst will inherit both myopts.txt and foo options and will resolve options and PID properties given in myopts.txt.

The special option ccp can be used to replace filters with an identity filter at run-time based on the input codec ID.
The option is a list of codec IDs to check. For encoder filters, an empty list reuses the encoder codec type.
When the PID codec ID matches one of the specified codec, the filter is replaced with a reframer filter with single PID input and same name and ID.
Example
-i src c=avc:b=1m:ccp -o mux

This will replace the encoder filter with a reframer if the input PID is in AVC|H264 format, or uses the encoder for other visual PIDs.
Example
-i src c=avc:b=1m:ccp=avc,hevc -o mux

This will replace the encoder filter with a reframer if the input PID is in AVC|H264 or HEVC format, or uses the encoder for other visual PIDs.
Example
-i src cecrypt:cfile=drm.xml:ccp=aac -o mux

This will replace the encryptor filter with a reframer if the input PID is in AAC format, or uses the encryptor for other PIDs.

Some specific keywords are replaced when processing filter options.
Warning: These keywords do not apply to PID properties. Multiple keywords cannot be defined for a single option.
Defined keywords:
* $GSHARE: replaced by system path to GPAC shared directory (e.g. /usr/share/gpac)
* $GJS: replaced by the first path from global share directory and paths set through .I -js-dirs that contains the file name following the macro, e.g. $GJS/source.js
* $GDOCS: replaced by system path to:
 - application document directory for iOS
 - EXTERNAL_STORAGE environment variable if present or /sdcard otherwise for Android
 - user home directory for other platforms
* $GLANG: replaced by the global config language option .I -lang
* $GUA: replaced by the global config user agent option .I -user-agent
* $GINC(init_val[,inc]): replaced by init_val and increment init_val by inc (positive or negative number, 1 if not specified) each time a new filter using this string is created.

The $GINC construct can be used to dynamically assign numbers in filter chains:
Example
gpac -i source.ts tssplit @#ServiceID= -o dump_$GINC(10,2).ts

This will dump first service in dump_10.ts, second service in dump_12.ts, etc...

As seen previously, the following options may be set on any filter, but are not visible in individual filter help:
* FID: filter identifier
* SID: filter source(s) (string value)
* N=NAME: filter name (string value)
* FS: sub-session identifier (unsigned int value)
* RSID: require sourceID to be present on target filters (no value)
* TAG: filter tag (string value)
* ITAG: filter inherited tag (string value)
* FBT: buffer time in microseconds (unsigned int value)
* FBU: buffer units (unsigned int value)
* FBD: decode buffer time in microseconds (unsigned int value)
* clone: explicitly enable/disable filter cloning flag (no value)
* nomux: enable/disable direct file copy (no value)
* gfreg: preferred filter registry names for link solving (string value)
* gfloc: following options are local to filter declaration, not inherited (no value)
* gfopt: following options are not tracked (no value)
* gpac: argument separator for URLs (no value)
* ccp: filter replacement control (string list value)
* NCID: ID of netcap configuration to use (string)
* LT: set additionnal log tools and levels for the filter usin same syntax as -logs, e.g. :LT=filter@debug (string value)
* DBG: debug missing input PID property (=pid), missing input packet property (=pck) or both (=all)

The buffer control options are used to change the default buffering of PIDs of a filter:
- FBT controls the maximum buffer time of output PIDs of a filter
- FBU controls the maximum number of packets in buffer of output PIDs of a filter when timing is not available
- FBD controls the maximum buffer time of input PIDs of a decoder filter, ignored for other filters

If another filter sends a buffer requirement messages, the maximum value of FBT (resp. FBD) and the user requested buffer time will be used for output buffer time (resp. decoding buffer time).

The options FBT, FBU, FBD  and DBG can be set:
* per filter instance: fA reframer:FBU=2
* per filter class for the run: --reframer@FBU=2
* in the GPAC config file in a per-filter section: [filter@reframer]FBU=2

The default values are defined by the session default parameters -buffer-gen, buffer-units and -buffer-dec.

GPAC comes with a set of built-in filters in libgpac. It may also load external filters in dynamic libraries, located in default module folder or folders listed in .I -mod-dirs option. The files shall be named gf_* and shall export a single function RegisterFilter returning a filter register - see libgpac documentation for more details.
