Comment (by Stefano Sabatini):

 After checking this, I confirm there is ambiguity in how the options are
 formatted. While it is correct to use `-` in ffmpeg tools documentation as
 it is already done, for libraries/components we should stick to the same
 convention, and I agree with Nicolas that being this documentation
 **generic** we should use the form without the `-`.

 I think it still makes sense to use some ffmpeg commandline to show usage
 of the tools, even if this does not completely stick with the scope of the
 specific manual (libavcodec, muxers, demuxers etc.) because this is useful
 to test the usage of the option.
