-Private API
------------
-
-The driver supports frame grabbing with the video4linux API,
-so all video4linux tools (like xawtv) should work with this driver.
-
-Besides the video4linux interface, the driver has a private interface
-for accessing the Motion Eye extended parameters (camera sharpness,
-agc, video framerate), the snapshot and the MJPEG capture facilities.
-
-This interface consists of several ioctls (prototypes and structures
-can be found in include/linux/meye.h):
-
-MEYEIOC_G_PARAMS and MEYEIOC_S_PARAMS
- Get and set the extended parameters of the motion eye camera.
- The user should always query the current parameters with
- MEYEIOC_G_PARAMS, change what he likes and then issue the
- MEYEIOC_S_PARAMS call (checking for -EINVAL). The extended
- parameters are described by the meye_params structure.
-
-
-MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT
- Queue a buffer for capture (the buffers must have been
- obtained with a VIDIOCGMBUF call and mmap'ed by the
- application). The argument to MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT is the
- buffer number to queue (or -1 to end capture). The first
- call to MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT starts the streaming capture.
-
-MEYEIOC_SYNC
- Takes as an argument the buffer number you want to sync.
- This ioctl blocks until the buffer is filled and ready
- for the application to use. It returns the buffer size.
-
-MEYEIOC_STILLCAPT and MEYEIOC_STILLJCAPT
- Takes a snapshot in an uncompressed or compressed jpeg format.
- This ioctl blocks until the snapshot is done and returns (for
- jpeg snapshot) the size of the image. The image data is
- available from the first mmap'ed buffer.
-
-Look at the 'motioneye' application code for an actual example.
