+
+Apple HTTP Live Streaming muxer that segments MPEG-TS according to
+the HTTP Live Streaming specification.
+
+It creates a playlist file and numbered segment files. The output
+filename specifies the playlist filename; the segment filenames
+receive the same basename as the playlist, a sequential number and
+a .ts extension.
