Re: Looking for libv4l documentation!

[Guilherme Longo <grlongo.ireland@gmail.com>]

Just a little observation,

I am looking for this library because my webcan has a sn9c10x chipset 
and I can´t find how sn9c10x pixelformat is captured.

There are a huge list of pixelformats in v4l2 spec but there is just a 
reserved word for this format. They say it exist but I can´t find how it 
is captured.

If someone could tell me where to find such documentation, plz, it would 
be better than converting the pixelformat.

Great Regards
Guilherme Longo
