<entry>This event requires that the <structfield>id</structfield>
matches the control ID from which you want to receive events.
This event is triggered if the control's value changes, if a
button control is pressed or if the control's flags change.
This event has &v4l2-event-ctrl; associated with it. This struct
contains much of the same information as &v4l2-queryctrl; and
&v4l2-control;.
If the event is generated due to a call to &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or
&VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS;, then the event will not be sent to
the file handle that called the ioctl function. This prevents
nasty feedback loops.
