Valerii Zapodovnikov 8426622bb9 avformat/avio: clarify that AVSEEK_FORCE has no effect
avio_seek() never supported SEEK_END and returned AVERROR(EINVAL) when
specified, so the later check "(whence != SEEK_END || force)" was always true.

This also means that AVSEEK_FORCE had no effect since 7a6fe01f99, that is 15
years ago. Rather than changing behaviour, let's document instead that the flag
has no effect.

Also fixed other commit 41ed7ab45f which confused ORing / passing AVSEEK_FORCE
and AVSEEK_SIZE in the docs.

  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
