Hi, please note that this mailing list is pretty much deprecated in favour of the Linux-Media Mailing List (LMML) -- many key individuals have already left the building (i.e. unsubscribed and participate only on LMML nowadays). Anyway, in answer to your question: * from the command line, type "man v4l" Then supplement that info with the following points taken from the V4L2 API (http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html): * http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html#id3069581 ** http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html#ftn.id3069581 * http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html#xvideo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
