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>Applications use this function to query the cropping
|
|
limits, the pixel aspect of images and to calculate scale factors.
|
|
They set the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a v4l2_cropcap
|
|
structure to the respective buffer (stream) type and call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_CROPCAP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
|
|
structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure. The results are
|
|
constant except when switching the video standard. Remember this
|
|
switch can occur implicit when switching the video input or
|
|
output.</para>
