<para>All V4L2 devices support the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCAP</constant> ioctl. It is used to identify
|
|
kernel devices compatible with this specification and to obtain
|
|
information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl takes a
|
|
pointer to a &v4l2-capability; which is filled by the driver. When the
|
|
driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl returns an
|
|
&EINVAL;.</para>

For example: "Yoyodyne TV/FM". One driver may support different brands

for example in a menu of available devices. Since multiple TV cards of

the same brand may be installed which are supported by the same

driver, this name should be combined with the character device file

name (⪚ <filename>/dev/video2</filename>) or the

<entry>Available capabilities of the physical device as a whole, see <xref

multiple devices in /dev (e.g. /dev/videoX, /dev/vbiY and /dev/radioZ).
|
|
The <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field should contain a union
|
|
of all capabilities available around the several V4L2 devices exported
|
|
to userspace.
|
|
For all those devices the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field
|
|
returns the same set of capabilities. This allows applications to open
|
|
just one of the devices (typically the video device) and discover whether
|
|
video, vbi and/or radio are also supported.
