FFmpeg Docs

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

• Find a filter / option: → Step 2 (search --query <term>)
• Read the full section for a filter: → Step 3 (section --page ffmpeg-filters --id <anchor>)
• Grab an entire doc page: → Step 4 (fetch --page <name>)
• Prime cache for offline use: → Step 5 (index)

When to use

• User asks "what does -X do in ffmpeg?" or "what are the parameters for filter Y?"
• Need to verify a flag name exists before recommending it (prevents hallucinated options).
• Need the exact option table for a muxer / demuxer / protocol / device.
• Need to cite the canonical ffmpeg.org URL in a response.
• Before writing any non-trivial ffmpeg command, check the current doc for the filter/option you're about to use.
