.Sh NAME
.Nm stream-type
.Nd Guess the type of a stream file
.\" This next command is for sections 2 and 3 only.
.\" .Sh LIBRARY
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm stream-type
.Op Fl "err stdout"
.Op Fl "err stderr"
.Op Fl verbose | Fl v
.Op Fl quiet | q
.Ar in_file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Attempt to determine if an input stream is Transport Stream,
Program Stream, or Elementary Stream, and if the latter, if it
is H.262 or H.264 (i.e., MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/AVC respectively).
The mechanisms used are fairly crude, assuming that:
.Bl -dash
.It
data is byte aligned
.It
for TS, the first byte in the file will be the start of a NAL unit,
and PAT/PMT packets will be findable
.It
for PS, the first packet starts immediately at the start of the
file, and is a pack header
.It
if the first 1000 packets could be H.262 *or* H.264, then the data
is assumed to be H.264 (the program doesn't try to determine
sensible sequences of H.262/H.264 packets, so this is a reasonable
way of guessing)
.El
It is quite possible that data which is not relevant will be
misidentified
.Ss Files
.Bl -tag
.It Ar in_file
is the file to analyse
.El
.Ss Switches
.Bl -tag
.It Fl "err stdout"
Write error messages to standard output (the default)
.It Fl "err stderr"
Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)
.It Fl v , Fl verbose
Output more detailed information about how it is making its decision
.It Fl q , Fl quiet
Only output error messages
.El
.\" The following cnds should be uncommented and
.\" used where appropriate.
.\" .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
.\" This next command is for sections 2, 3 and 9 function
.\" return values only.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The program exit value is:
.Bl -tag
.It 10
if it detects Transport Stream,
.It 11
if it detects Program Stream,
.It 12
if it detects Elementary Stream containing H.262 (MPEG-2),
.It 14
if it detects Elementary Stream containing H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC),
.It 5
if it looks like it might be PES,
.It 9
if it really cannot decide, or
.It 0
if some error occurred
