[FFmpeg-devel] av_write_trailer

[rachel li]

Hi, I read the code about utiles.c the fuction 

int av_write_trailer(AVFormatContext *s)
{
    int ret, i;

    for(;;){
        AVPacket pkt;
        ret= av_interleave_packet(s, &pkt, NULL, 1);
        if(ret<0) //FIXME cleanup needed for ret<0 ?
            goto fail;
        if(!ret)
            break;

        truncate_ts(s->streams[pkt.stream_index], &pkt);
        ret= s->oformat->write_packet(s, &pkt);

        av_free_packet(&pkt);

        if(ret<0)
            goto fail;
        if(url_ferror(&s->pb))
            goto fail;
    }

    if(s->oformat->write_trailer)
        ret = s->oformat->write_trailer(s);
fail:
    if(ret == 0)
       ret=url_ferror(&s->pb);
    for(i=0;i<s->nb_streams;i++)
        av_freep(&s->streams[i]->priv_data);
    av_freep(&s->priv_data);
    return ret;

}

what does the function mean? And I found the output file would exceed the limitation because of this function 

for(;;),why modify for the loop? I remmerber while(s->packet_buffer)
