What is the difference between max_delay and muxdelay in ffmpeg

I am generating some streams using ffmpeg (ffmpeg-20150409-git-df4fca2-win32-static). ffmpeg is used to transcode from MPEG2 video to HEVC. How are the parameters max_delay and muxdelay different? With both the parameters, I get the increase in the DTS-PCR difference.

muxdelay sets the delay in seconds while max_delay sets it in microseconds. The end result is the same. You can see the code that sets the underlying value in ffmpeg_opt.c
