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>These ioctls control an audio/video (usually MPEG-) encoder.
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD</constant> sends a command to the
|
|
encoder, <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD</constant> can be used to
|
|
try a command without actually executing it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To send a command applications must initialize all fields of a
|
|
&v4l2-encoder-cmd; and call
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD</constant> or
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD</constant> with a pointer to this
|
|
structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <structfield>cmd</structfield> field must contain the
|
|
command code. The <structfield>flags</structfield> field is currently
|
|
only used by the STOP command and contains one bit: If the
|
|
<constant>V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP_AT_GOP_END</constant> flag is set,
|
|
encoding will continue until the end of the current <wordasword>Group
|
|
Of Pictures</wordasword>, otherwise it will stop immediately.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A <function>read</function>() call sends a START command to
|
|
the encoder if it has not been started yet. After a STOP command,
|
|
<function>read</function>() calls will read the remaining data
|
|
buffered by the driver. When the buffer is empty,
|
|
<function>read</function>() will return zero and the next
|
|
<function>read</function>() call will restart the encoder.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A <function>close</function>() call sends an immediate STOP
|
|
to the encoder, and all buffered data is discarded.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support
|
|
them. They were introduced in Linux 2.6.21.</para>
