+ 
+   <para>The V4L2 API defines several different methods to read from or
+ write to a device. All drivers exchanging data with applications must
+ support at least one of them.</para>
+ 
+   <para>The classic I/O method using the <function>read()</function>
+ and <function>write()</function> function is automatically selected
+ after opening a V4L2 device. When the driver does not support this
+ method attempts to read or write will fail at any time.</para>
+ 
+   <para>Other methods must be negotiated. To select the streaming I/O
+ method with memory mapped or user buffers applications call the
+ &VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl. The asynchronous I/O method is not defined
+ yet.</para>
+ 
+   <para>Video overlay can be considered another I/O method, although
+ the application does not directly receive the image data. It is
+ selected by initiating video overlay with the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl.
+ For more information see <xref linkend="overlay" />.</para>
+ 
+   <para>Generally exactly one I/O method, including overlay, is
+ associated with each file descriptor. The only exceptions are
+ applications not exchanging data with a driver ("panel applications",
+ see <xref linkend="open" />) and drivers permitting simultaneous video capturing
+ and overlay using the same file descriptor, for compatibility with V4L
+ and earlier versions of V4L2.</para>
+ 
+   <para><constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> and
+ <constant>VIDIOC_REQBUFS</constant> would permit this to some degree,
+ but for simplicity drivers need not support switching the I/O method
+ (after first switching away from read/write) other than by closing
+ and reopening the device.</para>
+ 
+   <para>The following sections describe the various I/O methods in
+ more detail.</para>

+ returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl is set.</para>
+ 
+     <para>Drivers may need the CPU to copy the data, but they may also
+ support DMA to or from user memory, so this I/O method is not
+ necessarily less efficient than other methods merely exchanging buffer
+ pointers. It is considered inferior though because no meta-information
+ like frame counters or timestamps are passed. This information is
+ necessary to recognize frame dropping and to synchronize with other
+ data streams. However this is also the simplest I/O method, requiring
+ little or no setup to exchange data. It permits command line stunts
+ like this (the <application>vidctrl</application> tool is
+ fictitious):</para>

+ drivers supporting all I/O interfaces, but as much as the complex
+ memory mapping I/O can be inadequate for some devices we have no
+ reason to require this interface, which is most useful for simple
+ applications capturing still images.</para>

+     <title>Streaming I/O (Memory Mapping)</title>
+ 
+     <para>Input and output devices support this I/O method when the
+ <constant>V4L2_CAP_STREAMING</constant> flag in the
+ <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
+ returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl is set. There are two
+ streaming methods, to determine if the memory mapping flavor is
+ supported applications must call the &VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
+ 
+     <para>Streaming is an I/O method where only pointers to buffers
+ are exchanged between application and driver, the data itself is not
+ copied. Memory mapping is primarily intended to map buffers in device
+ memory into the application's address space. Device memory can be for
+ example the video memory on a graphics card with a video capture
+ add-on. However, being the most efficient I/O method available for a
+ long time, many other drivers support streaming as well, allocating
+ buffers in DMA-able main memory.</para>
+ 
+     <para>A driver can support many sets of buffers. Each set is
+ identified by a unique buffer type value. The sets are independent and
+ each set can hold a different type of data. To access different sets
+ at the same time different file descriptors must be used.<footnote>
+ 	<para>One could use one file descriptor and set the buffer
+ type field accordingly when calling &VIDIOC-QBUF; etc., but it makes
+ the <function>select()</function> function ambiguous. We also like the
+ clean approach of one file descriptor per logical stream. Video
+ overlay for example is also a logical stream, although the CPU is not
+ needed for continuous operation.</para>
+       </footnote></para>
+ 
+     <para>To allocate device buffers applications call the
+ &VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl with the desired number of buffers and buffer
+ type, for example <constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE</constant>.
+ This ioctl can also be used to change the number of buffers or to free
+ the allocated memory, provided none of the buffers are still
+ mapped.</para>
+ 
+     <para>Before applications can access the buffers they must map
+ them into their address space with the &func-mmap; function. The
+ location of the buffers in device memory can be determined with the
+ &VIDIOC-QUERYBUF; ioctl. In the single-planar API case, the
+ <structfield>m.offset</structfield> and <structfield>length</structfield>
+ returned in a &v4l2-buffer; are passed as sixth and second parameter to the
+ <function>mmap()</function> function. When using the multi-planar API,
+ struct &v4l2-buffer; contains an array of &v4l2-plane; structures, each
+ containing its own <structfield>m.offset</structfield> and
+ <structfield>length</structfield>. When using the multi-planar API, every
+ plane of every buffer has to be mapped separately, so the number of
+ calls to &func-mmap; should be equal to number of buffers times number of
+ planes in each buffer. The offset and length values must not be modified.
+ Remember, the buffers are allocated in physical memory, as opposed to virtual
+ memory, which can be swapped out to disk. Applications should free the buffers
+ as soon as possible with the &func-munmap; function.</para>

+     <para>Conceptually streaming drivers maintain two buffer queues, an incoming
+ and an outgoing queue. They separate the synchronous capture or output
+ operation locked to a video clock from the application which is
+ subject to random disk or network delays and preemption by
+ other processes, thereby reducing the probability of data loss.
+ The queues are organized as FIFOs, buffers will be
+ output in the order enqueued in the incoming FIFO, and were
+ captured in the order dequeued from the outgoing FIFO.</para>
+ 
+     <para>The driver may require a minimum number of buffers enqueued
+ at all times to function, apart of this no limit exists on the number
+ of buffers applications can enqueue in advance, or dequeue and
+ process. They can also enqueue in a different order than buffers have
+ been dequeued, and the driver can <emphasis>fill</emphasis> enqueued
+ <emphasis>empty</emphasis> buffers in any order. <footnote>
+ 	<para>Random enqueue order permits applications processing
+ images out of order (such as video codecs) to return buffers earlier,
+ reducing the probability of data loss. Random fill order allows
+ drivers to reuse buffers on a LIFO-basis, taking advantage of caches
+ holding scatter-gather lists and the like.</para>
+       </footnote> The index number of a buffer (&v4l2-buffer;
+ <structfield>index</structfield>) plays no role here, it only
+ identifies the buffer.</para>
+ 
+     <para>Initially all mapped buffers are in dequeued state,
+ inaccessible by the driver. For capturing applications it is customary
+ to first enqueue all mapped buffers, then to start capturing and enter
+ the read loop. Here the application waits until a filled buffer can be
+ dequeued, and re-enqueues the buffer when the data is no longer
+ needed. Output applications fill and enqueue buffers, when enough
+ buffers are stacked up the output is started with
+ <constant>VIDIOC_STREAMON</constant>. In the write loop, when
+ the application runs out of free buffers, it must wait until an empty
+ buffer can be dequeued and reused.</para>
+ 
+     <para>To enqueue and dequeue a buffer applications use the
+ &VIDIOC-QBUF; and &VIDIOC-DQBUF; ioctl. The status of a buffer being
+ mapped, enqueued, full or empty can be determined at any time using the

+ 	<para>We expect that frequently used buffers are typically not
+ swapped out. Anyway, the process of swapping, locking or generating
+ scatter-gather lists may be time consuming. The delay can be masked by
+ the depth of the incoming buffer queue, and perhaps by maintaining
+ caches assuming a buffer will be soon enqueued again. On the other
+ hand, to optimize memory usage drivers can limit the number of buffers
+ locked in advance and recycle the most recently used buffers first. Of
+ course, the pages of empty buffers in the incoming queue need not be

+ when the device is closed. Applications must take care not to free
+ buffers without dequeuing. For once, the buffers remain locked until
+ further, wasting physical memory. Second the driver will not be

+ the &VIDIOC-QUERYBUF;, &VIDIOC-QBUF; and &VIDIOC-DQBUF; ioctl.
+ In the multi-planar API, some plane-specific members of struct
+ <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname>, such as pointers and sizes for each
+ plane, are stored in struct <structname>v4l2_plane</structname> instead.
+ In that case, struct <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname> contains an array of
+ plane structures.</para>
+ 
+       <para>Nominally timestamps refer to the first data byte transmitted.
+ In practice however the wide range of hardware covered by the V4L2 API
+ limits timestamp accuracy. Often an interrupt routine will
+ sample the system clock shortly after the field or frame was stored
+ completely in memory. So applications must expect a constant
+ difference up to one field or frame period plus a small (few scan
+ lines) random error. The delay and error can be much
+ larger due to compression or transmission over an external bus when
+ the frames are not properly stamped by the sender. This is frequently
+ the case with USB cameras. Here timestamps refer to the instant the
+ field or frame was received by the driver, not the capture time. These
+ devices identify by not enumerating any video standards, see <xref
+ linkend="standard" />.</para>
+ 
+       <para>Similar limitations apply to output timestamps. Typically
+ the video hardware locks to a clock controlling the video timing, the
+ horizontal and vertical synchronization pulses. At some point in the
+ line sequence, possibly the vertical blanking, an interrupt routine
+ samples the system clock, compares against the timestamp and programs
+ the hardware to repeat the previous field or frame, or to display the
+ buffer contents.</para>
+ 
+       <para>Apart of limitations of the video device and natural
+ inaccuracies of all clocks, it should be noted system time itself is
+ not perfectly stable. It can be affected by power saving cycles,
+ warped to insert leap seconds, or even turned back or forth by the
+ system administrator affecting long term measurements. <footnote>
+ 	  <para>Since no other Linux multimedia
+ API supports unadjusted time it would be foolish to introduce here. We
+ must use a universally supported clock to synchronize different media,
+ hence time of day.</para>

+     <title>Field Order</title>
+ 
+     <para>We have to distinguish between progressive and interlaced
+ video. Progressive video transmits all lines of a video image
+ sequentially. Interlaced video divides an image into two fields,
+ containing only the odd and even lines of the image, respectively.
+ Alternating the so called odd and even field are transmitted, and due
+ to a small delay between fields a cathode ray TV displays the lines
+ interleaved, yielding the original frame. This curious technique was
+ invented because at refresh rates similar to film the image would
+ fade out too quickly. Transmitting fields reduces the flicker without
+ the necessity of doubling the frame rate and with it the bandwidth
+ required for each channel.</para>
+ 
+     <para>It is important to understand a video camera does not expose
+ one frame at a time, merely transmitting the frames separated into
+ fields. The fields are in fact captured at two different instances in
+ time. An object on screen may well move between one field and the
+ next. For applications analysing motion it is of paramount importance
+ to recognize which field of a frame is older, the <emphasis>temporal
+ order</emphasis>.</para>
+ 
+     <para>When the driver provides or accepts images field by field
+ rather than interleaved, it is also important applications understand
+ how the fields combine to frames. We distinguish between top (aka odd) and
+ bottom (aka even) fields, the <emphasis>spatial order</emphasis>: The first line
+ of the top field is the first line of an interlaced frame, the first
+ line of the bottom field is the second line of that frame.</para>
+ 
+     <para>However because fields were captured one after the other,
+ arguing whether a frame commences with the top or bottom field is
+ pointless. Any two successive top and bottom, or bottom and top fields
+ yield a valid frame. Only when the source was progressive to begin
+ with, &eg; when transferring film to video, two fields may come from
+ the same frame, creating a natural order.</para>
+ 
+     <para>Counter to intuition the top field is not necessarily the
+ older field. Whether the older field contains the top or bottom lines
+ is a convention determined by the video standard. Hence the
+ distinction between temporal and spatial order of fields. The diagrams
+ below should make this clearer.</para>
+ 
+     <para>All video capture and output devices must report the current
+ field order. Some drivers may permit the selection of a different
+ order, to this end applications initialize the
+ <structfield>field</structfield> field of &v4l2-pix-format; before
+ calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl. If this is not desired it should
+ have the value <constant>V4L2_FIELD_ANY</constant> (0).</para>
