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>To query the current video output applications call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to an integer
|
|
where the driver stores the number of the output, as in the
|
|
&v4l2-output; <structfield>index</structfield> field. This ioctl
|
|
will fail only when there are no video outputs, returning the
|
|
&EINVAL;.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To select a video output applications store the number of the
|
|
desired output in an integer and call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this integer.
|
|
Side effects are possible. For example outputs may support different
|
|
video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch the current
|
|
standard. It is good practice to select an output before querying or
|
|
negotiating any other parameters.</para>
