<para>This ioctl is an extension to the <link linkend="mmap">memory
|
||
|
|
mapping</link> I/O method, therefore it is available only for
|
||
|
|
<constant>V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP</constant> buffers. It can be used to export a
|
||
|
|
buffer as a DMABUF file at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
|
||
|
|
&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para> To export a buffer, applications fill &v4l2-exportbuffer;. The
|
||
|
|
<structfield> type </structfield> field is set to the same buffer type as was
|
||
|
|
previously used with &v4l2-requestbuffers;<structfield> type </structfield>.
|
||
|
|
Applications must also set the <structfield> index </structfield> field. Valid
|
||
|
|
index numbers range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with
|
||
|
|
&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; (&v4l2-requestbuffers;<structfield> count </structfield>)
|
||
|
|
minus one. For the multi-planar API, applications set the <structfield> plane
|
||
|
|
</structfield> field to the index of the plane to be exported. Valid planes
|
||
|
|
range from zero to the maximal number of valid planes for the currently active
|
||
|
|
format. For the single-planar API, applications must set <structfield> plane
|
||
|
|
</structfield> to zero. Additional flags may be posted in the <structfield>
|
||
|
|
flags </structfield> field. Refer to a manual for open() for details.
|
||
|
|
Currently only O_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, and O_RDWR are supported. All
|
||
|
|
other fields must be set to zero.
|
||
|
|
In the case of multi-planar API, every plane is exported separately using
|
||
|
|
multiple <constant> VIDIOC_EXPBUF </constant> calls. </para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para> After calling <constant>VIDIOC_EXPBUF</constant> the <structfield> fd
|
||
|
|
</structfield> field will be set by a driver. This is a DMABUF file
|
||
|
|
descriptor. The application may pass it to other DMABUF-aware devices. Refer to
|
||
|
|
<link linkend="dmabuf">DMABUF importing</link> for details about importing
|
||
|
|
DMABUF files into V4L2 nodes. It is recommended to close a DMABUF file when it
|
||
|
|
is no longer used to allow the associated memory to be reclaimed. </para>
