This was discussed in the thread:
[PATCH] lavf: add textdata virtual demuxer and demuxer

Basically, my use case is injecting custom data into an output by
using an ffmpeg commandline.

For specifying data I designed the textdata demuxer, but it was
limited (no support for several streams), so I followed the advice
from Nicolas and adopted the format based on the ffprobe default
output he already developed.

I'll add more documentation and examples at the next iteration.

this seems not to apply cleanly

can i pick this from some git repo ? (should work better than patch
with unavailable ancestors)

What is "output" in this context?

Imagine you are trying to debug a problem in filters with a particular file.
You suspect an issue with timestamps, or with whatever. To check, you may
want to change the input file slightly. This is not very easy to do right
now. With this patch, ffprobe the input file, then edit the resulting text
file to make your changes with any text editor.

I guess either "file will consist" or "file consists" goes here.

+@chapter ffprobe demuxer format 
+@c man begin FFPROBE DEMUXER FORMAT
+
+The ffprobe demuxer format is inspired by the output generated by the
+ffprobe default format.
+
+It consists of several sections (FORMAT, STREAM, PACKET). Each section
+start with a single line in the format @samp{[SECTION]} and ends with
+the corresponding line @samp{[/SECTION]}.
+
+where @samp{SECTION} is the name of the section.
+
+A well-formed file will consists of an initial @samp{FORMAT} section,
+followed by several @samp{STREAM} sections (one per stream), and
+several @samp{PACKET} sections.
+
+Each section contains a sequence of lines in the form
+@sample{key=value}. In the case of data the key and the value must
+stay on different lines.
+
+Unrecognized values are discarded (this allows the demuxer to accept
+the output generated by @program{ffprobe} without further
+modifications.
+
+The following sections document the fields accepted by each section.
+
+@section FORMAT
+
+@table
+@item nb_streams
+the number of supported streams
+@end table
+
+@section STREAM
+@table
+@item index
+the index number
+@item codec_name
+the codec name (the name must be an accepted FFmpeg codec name
+@item time_base
+Specify the time_base as @samp{NUM/DEN}, this is the time base used to
+specify the timestamps in the corresponding packets
+@end table
+
+@section PACKET
+
+@table
+@item stream_index
+the stream index of the stream (must have been specified in a stream
+section). If not specified the first stream is assumed.
+
+@item pts
+the PTS expressed in the corresponding time base stream units
+
+@item pts_time
+the PTS expressed as an absolute time, using the FFmpeg time syntax
+
+@item dts
+the DTS expressed in the corresponding time base stream units
+
+@item pts_time
+the DTS expressed as an absolute time, using the FFmpeg time syntax
+
+@item duration
+the duration expressed in the corresponding time base stream units
+
+@item duration_tim
+the packet duration expressed as an absolute time, using the FFmpeg time syntax
+
+@item flags
+If the value is equal to "K" mark the packet as a key packet
+
+@item data
+specifies the data as a sequence of hexadecimal values (two
+hexadecimal values specify a byte). The data specification starts on
+the following line and can span over several lines, and must be
+terminate with an empty line.
+@end table
+
+@section Examples
+
+A ffprobe demuxer file might look like this:
+@example
+[FORMAT]
+nb_streams=1
+format_name=ffprobe_default
+[/FORMAT]
+[STREAM]
+index=0
+codec_name=timed_id3
+time_base=1/1000000
+[/STREAM]
+[PACKET]
+stream_index=0
+pts_time=0
+dts_time=0
+duration=N/A
+flags=K
+data=
+f000 0000 0167 42c0 1ed9 81b1 fefc 0440
+57ff d7d1 dfff e11a 3d7e 6cbd 0000 0001
+ce8c 4d9d 108e 25e9 fe
+
+[/PACKET]
+[PACKET]
+stream_index=0
+pts_time=1.00
+duration=N/A
+flags=K
+data=
+f000 0000 0141 9a38 3be5 ffff ffff fffa
+ebc1 3782 7d5e 21e9 ffff abf2 ea4f ed66
+0000 0001 ce8c 4d9d 108e 25e9 fe
+
+[/PACKET]
+@end example
+
+The output generated by the @program{ffprobe} default format is valid
+if the following options are also specified:
+@example
+-show_packets -show_data -show_compact_data -show_format -show_streams -show_packets -show_headers_first
+@end example
+
+Thus, to generate the corresponding output from an input file you can
+do:
+@example
+ffprobe INPUT.ts -show_packets -show_data -show_compact_data -show_format -show_streams -show_packets -show_headers_first > OUTPUT.ffprobe
+@end example
+
+@c man end FFPROBE DEMUXER FORMAT
