+ * Test and acknowledge the change of status on the link.
+ *
+ * Status means EOF or an error condition; a change from the normal (0)
+ * status to a non-zero status can be queued in a filter's input link, it
+ * becomes relevant after the frames queued in the link's FIFO are
+ * processed. This function tests if frames are still queued and if a queued
+ * status change has not yet been processed. In that case it performs basic
+ * treatment (updating the link's timestamp) and returns a positive value to
+ * let the filter do its own treatments (flushing...).
+ *
+ * Filters implementing the activate callback should call this function when
+ * they think it might succeed (usually after checking unsuccessfully for a
+ * queued frame).
+ * Filters implementing the filter_frame and request_frame callbacks do not
+ * need to call that since the same treatment happens in ff_filter_frame().
+ *
+ * @param[out] rstatus  new or current status
+ * @param[out] rpts     current timestamp of the link in link time base
+ * @return  >0 if status changed, <0 if status already acked, 0 otherwise
