1.描述
AVInputFormat 是类似COM 接口的数据结构，表示输入文件容器格式，着重于功能函数，一种文件容器格式对应一个AVInputFormat 结构，在程序运行时有多个实例，位于avoformat.h文件中。

3.常见变量及其作用
const char *name;//格式名列表.也可以分配一个新名字。
const char *long_name;//格式的描述性名称，意味着比名称更易于阅读。
int flags;
//可用的flag有: AVFMT_NOFILE, AVFMT_NEEDNUMBER, AVFMT_SHOW_IDS,
AVFMT_GENERIC_INDEX, AVFMT_TS_DISCONT, AVFMT_NOBINSEARCH,
AVFMT_NOGENSEARCH, AVFMT_NO_BYTE_SEEK, AVFMT_SEEK_TO_PTS.
const char *extensions;//文件扩展名
const AVClass *priv_class; //一个模拟类型列表.用来在probe的时候check匹配的类型。
struct AVInputFormat *next;//用于把所有支持的输入文件容器格式连接成链表，便于遍历查找。
int priv_data_size;//标示具体的文件容器格式对应的Context 的大小。
int (*read_probe)(AVProbeData *);//判断一个给定的文件是否有可能被解析为这种格式。 给定的buf足够大，所以你没有必要去检查它，除非你需要更多 。
int (*read_header)(struct AVFormatContext *);//读取format头并初始化AVFormatContext结构体，如果成功，返回0。创建新的流需要调用avformat_new_stream。
int (*read_header2)(struct AVFormatContext *, AVDictionary **options);//新加的函数指针，用于打开进一步嵌套输入的格式。
int (*read_packet)(struct AVFormatContext *, AVPacket *pkt);//读取一个数据包并将其放在“pkt”中。 pts和flag也被设置。
int (*read_close)(struct AVFormatContext *);//关闭流。 AVFormatContext和Streams不会被此函数释放。
int (*read_seek)(struct AVFormatContext *, int stream_index, int64_t timestamp, int flags);
int64_t (*read_timestamp)(struct AVFormatContext *s, int stream_index, int64_t *pos, int64_t pos_limit);//获取stream [stream_index] .time_base单位中的下一个时间戳。
int (*read_play)(struct AVFormatContext *);//开始/继续播放 - 仅当使用基于网络的（RTSP）格式时才有意义。
int (*read_pause)(struct AVFormatContext *);//暂停播放 - 仅当使用基于网络的（RTSP）格式时才有意义。
int (*read_seek2)(struct AVFormatContext *s, int stream_index, int64_t min_ts, int64_t ts, int64_t max_ts, int flags);//寻求时间戳ts。
int (*get_device_list)(struct AVFormatContext *s, struct AVDeviceInfoList *device_list);返回设备列表及其属性。
int (*create_device_capabilities)(struct AVFormatContext *s, struct AVDeviceCapabilitiesQuery *caps);//初始化设备能力子模块。
int (*free_device_capabilities)(struct AVFormatContext *s, struct AVDeviceCapabilitiesQuery *caps);//释放设备能力子模块。
