  <title>V4L2 Driver Programming</title>

  <!-- This part defines the interface between the "videodev"
    module and individual drivers. -->

<!--
  <para>V4L2 is a two-layer driver system. The top layer is the "videodev"
kernel module. When videodev initializes it registers as character device
with major number 81, and it registers a set of file operations. All V4L2
drivers are really clients of videodev, which calls V4L2 drivers through
driver method functions. V4L2 drivers are also written as kernel modules.
After probing the hardware they register one or more devices with
videodev.</para>

    <title>Driver Modules</title>

    <para>V4L2 driver modules must have an initialization function which is
called after the module was loaded into kernel, an exit function whis is
called before the module is removed.  When the driver is compiled into the
kernel these functions called at system boot and shutdown time.</para>

    <para>One parameter should be supported by all V4L2 drivers, the minor
number of the device it will register. Purpose is to predictably link V4L2
drivers to device nodes if more than one video device is installed. Use the
name of the device node followed by a "_nr" suffix, for example "video_nr"
for <filename>/dev/video</filename>.</para>
