General/Common options: -A, --list-devices list all v4l devices. If -z was given, then list just the devices of the media device with the bus info string as specified by the -z option. --all display all information available -C, --get-ctrl [,...] get the value of the controls [VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS] -c, --set-ctrl =[,=...] set the value of the controls [VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS] -D, --info show driver info [VIDIOC_QUERYCAP] -d, --device use device instead of /dev/video0 if starts with a digit, then /dev/video is used Otherwise if -z was specified earlier, then is the entity name or interface ID (if prefixed with 0x) as found in the topology of the media device with the bus info string as specified by the -z option. -e, --out-device use device for output streams instead of the default device as set with --device if starts with a digit, then /dev/video is used Otherwise if -z was specified earlier, then is the entity name or interface ID (if prefixed with 0x) as found in the topology of the media device with the bus info string as specified by the -z option. -E, --export-device use device for exporting DMA buffers if starts with a digit, then /dev/video is used Otherwise if -z was specified earlier, then is the entity name or interface ID (if prefixed with 0x) as found in the topology of the media device with the bus info string as specified by the -z option. -z, --media-bus-info find the media device with the given bus info string. If set, then -d, -e and -E options can use the entity name or interface ID to refer to the device nodes. -h, --help display this help message --help-all all options --help-io input/output options --help-meta metadata format options --help-misc miscellaneous options --help-overlay overlay format options --help-sdr SDR format options --help-selection crop/selection options --help-stds standards and other video timings options --help-streaming streaming options --help-subdev sub-device options --help-tuner tuner/modulator options --help-vbi VBI format options --help-vidcap video capture format options --help-vidout vidout output format options --help-edid edid handling options -k, --concise be more concise if possible. -l, --list-ctrls display all controls and their values [VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL] -L, --list-ctrls-menus display all controls and their menus [VIDIOC_QUERYMENU] -r, --subset [,,]+ the subset of the N-dimensional array to get/set for control , for every dimension an (, ) tuple is given. -w, --wrapper use the libv4l2 wrapper library. --list-devices-input same as --list-devices, but only show devices with a current input name that matches --list-devices-output same as --list-devices, but only show devices with a current output name that matches --log-status log the board status in the kernel log [VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS] --get-priority query the current access priority [VIDIOC_G_PRIORITY] --set-priority set the new access priority [VIDIOC_S_PRIORITY] is 1 (background), 2 (interactive) or 3 (record) --silent only set the result code, do not print any messages --sleep sleep , call QUERYCAP and close the file handle --verbose turn on verbose ioctl status reporting --version show version information
