The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now, no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook. This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

<para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">memory
|
|
mapping</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
|
|
buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
|
|
&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
|
|
of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as previously
|
|
&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
|
|
<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
|
|
field. Valid index numbers range from zero
|
|
to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
|
|
(&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
|
|
After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
|
|
this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
|
|
the structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
|
|
<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
|
|
<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to
|
|
<constant>V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP</constant>, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
|
|
contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
|
|
the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. The driver may
|
|
or may not set the remaining fields and flags, they are meaningless in
|
|
this context.</para>
