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>

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <constant>VIDIOC_STREAMON</constant> and
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_STREAMOFF</constant> ioctl start and stop the capture
|
|
or output process during streaming (<link linkend="mmap">memory
|
|
mapping</link> or <link linkend="userp">user pointer</link>) I/O.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Specifically the capture hardware is disabled and no input
|
|
buffers are filled (if there are any empty buffers in the incoming
|
|
queue) until <constant>VIDIOC_STREAMON</constant> has been called.
|
|
Accordingly the output hardware is disabled, no video signal is
|
|
produced until <constant>VIDIOC_STREAMON</constant> has been called.
|
|
The ioctl will succeed only when at least one output buffer is in the
|
|
incoming queue.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <constant>VIDIOC_STREAMOFF</constant> ioctl, apart of
|
|
aborting or finishing any DMA in progress, unlocks any user pointer
|
|
buffers locked in physical memory, and it removes all buffers from the
|
|
incoming and outgoing queues. That means all images captured but not
|
|
dequeued yet will be lost, likewise all images enqueued for output but
|
|
not transmitted yet. I/O returns to the same state as after calling
|
|
&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; and can be restarted accordingly.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Both ioctls take a pointer to an integer, the desired buffer or
|
|
stream type. This is the same as &v4l2-requestbuffers;
|
|
<structfield>type</structfield>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note applications can be preempted for unknown periods right
|
|
before or after the <constant>VIDIOC_STREAMON</constant> or
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_STREAMOFF</constant> calls, there is no notion of
|
|
starting or stopping "now". Buffer timestamps can be used to
|
|
synchronize with other events.</para>
