      <title>Experimental</title>
      <para>This is an <link linkend="experimental"> experimental </link>
      interface and may change in the future.</para>
    </note>

<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>
