But for convenience FFmpeg CLI provides option `-y` for this task
No, it does not. The -y option only disables a very simple, unreliable
but convenient safety measure. It does not delete anything.
It actually will overwrite the output file if it already exists.
Which is exactly what I mean by "delete".
but there is no delete action
to make it clear: the only active action ffmpeg does is to look if the
file already exsists - the normal behavior would be "open for write"
where neither the application nor the OS cares
Some of you argue, that "OS / file system tasks" should not be in the
scope of FFmpeg CLI.
To me, "deleting/overwriting existing files" and "preserving file
times from input to output" are *both* "OS / file system tasks"
but you are not very smart
