| 34 | | * A `-` character before the `input_file_index` creates a ''negative mapping''. It disables matching streams from already created mappings. |
| 35 | | * A trailing `?` will allow the map to be optional: if the map matches no streams the map will be ignored instead of failing. Note the map will still fail if an invalid `input_file_index` is used; such as if the map refers to a non-existent input. |
| | 41 | * A `-` character before the `input_file_index`, such as `-map -0:v`, creates a ''negative mapping''. It disables matching streams from already created mappings. See [#Everythingexceptaudio example]. |
