Read the file with name filename, and put its content in a newly allocated buffer or map it with mmap() when available.

In case of success set *bufptr to the read or mmapped buffer, and *size to the size in bytes of the buffer in *bufptr. Unlike mmap this function succeeds with zero sized files, in this case *bufptr will be set to NULL and *size will be set to 0. The returned buffer must be released with av_file_unmap().

Parameters

filename path to the file

[out] bufptr pointee is set to the mapped or allocated buffer

[out] size pointee is set to the size in bytes of the buffer

log_offset loglevel offset used for logging

log_ctx context used for logging

Returns

a non negative number in case of success, a negative value corresponding to an AVERROR error code in case of failure

Unmap or free the buffer bufptr created by av_file_map().

Parameters

bufptr the buffer previously created with av_file_map()

size size in bytes of bufptr, must be the same as returned by av_file_map()

Wrapper to work around the lack of mkstemp() on mingw.

Also, tries to create file in /tmp first, if possible. *prefix can be a character constant; *filename will be allocated internally.

Returns

file descriptor of opened file (or negative value corresponding to an AVERROR code on error) and opened file name in **filename.

Note

On very old libcs it is necessary to set a secure umask before calling this, av_tempfile() can't call umask itself as it is used in libraries and could interfere with the calling application.

Deprecated:

as fd numbers cannot be passed saftely between libs on some platforms
