* Package name : libv4l Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Hans de Goede <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/ * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C Description : Transparent conversion layer for V4L devices Libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction layer on top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin) layer is to make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without having to write seperate code for different devices in the same class. libv4l1 and libv4l2 provide alternatives for all v4l-related operations. It offers functions like v4l2_open, v4l2_ioctl, etc. which can by used to quickly make v4l2 applications work with v4l2 devices with weird formats. Also, libv4l provides an userspace v4l1 emulation: It offers functions like v4l1_open, v4l1_ioctl, etc. which can by used to quickly make v4l1 applications work with v4l2 devices. It also includes a wrapper library that allows to use it without the need to modify an existing application, using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
