+Named arguments
+---------------
+
+Some commands support named arguments (most currently don't). Named arguments
+cannot be used with the "flat" input.conf syntax shown above, but require using
+e.g. ``mp.command_native()`` in Lua scripting, or e.g. ``mpv_command_node()``
+with the libmpv API. Some commands ask you to only use named arguments (because
+the command order is not guaranteed), which means you can't use them as
+key bindings in input.conf at all.

List of Input Commands

execute arbitrary shell commands. It is recommended to write a small
shell script, and call that with ``run``.
+``subprocess``
+ Similar to ``run``, but gives more control about process execution to the
+ caller, and does does not detach the process.
+
+ This has the following named arguments. The order of them is not guaranteed,
+ so you should always call them with named arguments, see `Named arguments`_.
+
+ ``args`` (``MPV_FORMAT_NODE_ARRAY[MPV_FORMAT_STRING]``)
+ Array of strings with the command as first argument, and subsequent
+ command line arguments following. This is just like the ``run`` command
+ argument list.
+
+ ``playback_only`` (``MPV_FORMAT_FLAG``)
+ Boolean indicating whether the process should be killed when playback
+ terminates (optional, default: yes). If enabled, stopping playback
+ will automatically kill the process, and you can't start it outside of
+ playback.
+
+ ``capture_size`` (``MPV_FORMAT_INT64``)
+ Integer setting the maximum number of stdout plus stderr bytes that can
+ be captured (optional, default: 64MB). If the number of bytes exceeds
+ this, capturing is stopped. The limit is per captured stream.
+
+ ``capture_stdout`` (``MPV_FORMAT_FLAG``)
+ Capture all data the process outputs to stdout and return it once the
+ process ends (optional, default: no).
+
+ ``capture_stderr`` (``MPV_FORMAT_FLAG``)
+ Same as ``capture_stdout``, but for stderr.
+
+ The command returns the following result (as ``MPV_FORMAT_NODE_MAP``):
+
+ ``status`` (``MPV_FORMAT_INT64``)
+ The raw exit status of the process. It will be negative on error. The
+ meaning of negative values is undefined, other than meaning error (and
+ does not necessarily correspond to OS low level exit status values).
+
+ On Windows, it can happen that a negative return value is returned
+ even if the process exits gracefully, because the win32 ``UINT`` exit
+ code is assigned to an ``int`` variable before being set as ``int64_t``
+ field in the result map. This might be fixed later.
+
+ ``stdout`` (``MPV_FORMAT_BYTE_ARRAY``)
+ Captured stdout stream, limited to ``capture_size``.
+
+ ``stderr`` (``MPV_FORMAT_BYTE_ARRAY``)
+ Same as ``stdout``, but for stderr.
+
+ ``error_string`` (``MPV_FORMAT_STRING``)
+ Empty string if the process exited gracefully. The string ``killed`` if
+ the process was terminated in an unusual way. The string ``init`` if the
+ process could not be started.
+
+ On Windows, ``killed`` is only returned when the process has been
+ killed by mpv as a result of ``playback_only`` being set to ``yes``.
+
+ ``killed_by_us`` (``MPV_FORMAT_FLAG``)
+ Set to ``yes`` if the process has been killed by mpv as a result
+ of ``playback_only`` being set to ``yes``.
+
+ Note that the command itself will always return success as long as the
+ parameters are correct. Whether the process could be spawned or whether
+ it was somehow killed or returned an error status has to be queried from
+ the result value.
+
``quit [<code>]``
Exit the player. If an argument is given, it's used as process exit code.

+ If the table is an array, each array item is like an argument in
