Usage:
Common options:
-d, --device <dev> Use device <dev> as the video device.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/video<dev> is used.
Otherwise if -z was specified earlier, then <dev> 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.
-V, --vbi-device <dev>
Use device <dev> as the vbi device.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/vbi<dev> is used.
See the -d description of how <dev> is used in combination with -z.
-r, --radio-device <dev>
Use device <dev> as the radio device.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/radio<dev> is used.
See the -d description of how <dev> is used in combination with -z.
-S, --sdr-device <dev>
Use device <dev> as the SDR device.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/swradio<dev> is used.
See the -d description of how <dev> is used in combination with -z.
-t, --touch-device <dev>
Use device <dev> as the touch device.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/v4l-touch<dev> is used.
See the -d description of how <dev> is used in combination with -z.
-u, --subdev-device <dev>
Use device <dev> as the v4l-subdev device.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/v4l-subdev<dev> is used.
See the -d description of how <dev> is used in combination with -z.
-e, --expbuf-device <dev>
Use video device <dev> to obtain DMABUF handles.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/video<dev> is used.
See the -d description of how <dev> is used in combination with -z.
-z, --media-bus-info <bus-info>
Find the media device with the given bus info string. If set, then
the options above can use the entity name or interface ID to refer
to the device nodes.
-m, --media-device <dev>
Use device <dev> as the media controller device. Besides this
device it also tests all interfaces it finds.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/media<dev> is used.
If <dev> doesn't exist, then attempt to find a media device with a
bus info string equal to <dev>.
-M, --media-device-only <dev>
Use device <dev> as the media controller device. Only test this
device, don't walk over all the interfaces.
If <dev> starts with a digit, then /dev/media<dev> is used.
If <dev> doesn't exist, then attempt to find a media device with a
bus info string equal to <dev>.
-s, --streaming <count>
Enable the streaming tests. Set <count> to the number of
frames to stream (default 60). Requires a valid input/output
and frequency (when dealing with a tuner). For DMABUF testing
--expbuf-device needs to be set as well.
--stream-from [<pixelformat>=]<file>
--stream-from-hdr [<pixelformat>=]<file>
Use the contents of the file to fill in output buffers.
If the fourcc of the pixelformat is given, then use the file
for output buffers using that pixelformat only.
The --stream-from-hdr variant uses the format written by
v4l2-ctl --stream-to-hdr where the payload sizes for each
buffer are stored in a header. Useful for compressed formats.
-f, --stream-all-formats [<count>]
Test streaming all available formats.
This attempts to stream using MMAP mode or read/write
for one second for all formats, at all sizes, at all intervals
and with all field values. If <count> is given, then stream
for that many frames instead of one second.
-a, --stream-all-io
Do streaming tests for all inputs or outputs instead of just
the current input or output. This requires that a valid video
signal is present on all inputs and all outputs are hooked up.
-c, --stream-all-color color=red|green|blue,skip=<skip>,perc=<percentage>
For all formats stream <skip + 1> frames and check if
the last frame has at least <perc> percent of the pixels with
a <color> component that is higher than the other two color
components. This requires that a valid red, green or blue video
signal is present on the input(s). If <skip> is not specified,
then just capture the first frame. If <perc> is not specified,
then this defaults to 90%.
-E, --exit-on-fail Exit on the first fail.
-h, --help Display this help message.
-C, --color <when> Highlight OK/warn/fail/FAIL strings with colors
<when> can be set to always, never, or auto (the default)
-n, --no-warnings Turn off warning messages.
-P, --no-progress Turn off progress messages.
-T, --trace Trace all called ioctls.
-v, --verbose Turn on verbose reporting.
--version Show version information.
-w, --wrapper Use the libv4l2 wrapper library.
-W, --exit-on-warn Exit on the first warning.
