A @code{-} character before the stream identifier creates a "negative" mapping.
It disables matching streams from already created mappings.
An alternative @var{[linklabel]} form will map outputs from complex filter
graphs (see the @option{-filter_complex} option) to the output file.
@var{linklabel} must correspond to a defined output link label in the graph.
For example, to map ALL streams from the first input file to output

avconv -i INPUT -map 0 output

@item -cpuflags mask (@emph{global})
Set a mask that's applied to autodetected CPU flags. This option is intended

@item -filter_complex @var{filtergraph} (@emph{global})
Define a complex filter graph, i.e. one with arbitrary number of inputs and/or
outputs. For simple graphs -- those with one input and one output of the same
type -- see the @option{-filter} options. @var{filtergraph} is a description of
the filter graph, as described in @ref{Filtergraph syntax}.
Input link labels must refer to input streams using the
@code{[file_index:stream_specifier]} syntax (i.e. the same as @option{-map}
uses). If @var{stream_specifier} matches multiple streams, the first one will be
used. An unlabeled input will be connected to the first unused input stream of
the matching type.
Output link labels are referred to with @option{-map}. Unlabeled outputs are
added to the first output file.
For example, to overlay an image over video
@example
avconv -i video.mkv -i image.png -filter_complex '[0:v][1:v]overlay[out]' -map
'[out]' out.mkv
@end example
Here @code{[0:v]} refers to the first video stream in the first input file,
which is linked to the first (main) input of the overlay filter. Similarly the
first video stream in the second input is linked to the second (overlay) input
of overlay.
Assuming there is only one video stream in each input file, we can omit input
labels, so the above is equivalent to
@example
avconv -i video.mkv -i image.png -filter_complex 'overlay[out]' -map
'[out]' out.mkv
@end example
Furthermore we can omit the output label and the single output from the filter
graph will be added to the output file automatically, so we can simply write
@example
avconv -i video.mkv -i image.png -filter_complex 'overlay' out.mkv
@end example
@end table
