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 get the current value of a control applications
|
|
initialize the <structfield>id</structfield> field of a struct
|
|
<structname>v4l2_control</structname> and call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_G_CTRL</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
|
|
structure. To change the value of a control applications initialize
|
|
the <structfield>id</structfield> and <structfield>value</structfield>
|
|
fields of a struct <structname>v4l2_control</structname> and call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When the <structfield>id</structfield> is invalid drivers
|
|
return an &EINVAL;. When the <structfield>value</structfield> is out
|
|
of bounds drivers can choose to take the closest valid value or return
|
|
an &ERANGE;, whatever seems more appropriate. However,
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> is a write-only ioctl, it does not
|
|
return the actual new value.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These ioctls work only with user controls. For other
|
|
control classes the &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; or

&VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS; must be used.</para>
