.SH NAME
flvtool \- a manipulation tool for flash video files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B flvtool
.RI [-ACDPUVaciklnoprstvx]... [-key:value]... in-path|stdin [out-path|stdout]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
If out-path is omitted, in-path will be overwritten.
In-path can be a single file, or a directory. If in-path is a directory,
out-path has to be likewise, or can be omitted. Directory recursion
is controlled by the -r switch. You can use stdin and stdout keywords
as in- and out-path for piping or redirecting.

Chain commands like that: -UP (updates FLV file than prints out meta data)
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
