Conceptually streaming drivers maintain two buffer queues, an incoming
and an outgoing queue. They separate the synchronous capture or output
the application waits until a filled buffer can be dequeued, and
re-enqueues the buffer when the data is no longer needed. Output
applications fill and enqueue buffers, when enough buffers are stacked
-up the output is started with ``VIDIOC_STREAMON``. In the write loop,
-when the application runs out of free buffers, it must wait until an
-empty buffer can be dequeued and reused.
-
-To enqueue and dequeue a buffer applications use the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF` and
-:ref:`VIDIOC_DQBUF <VIDIOC_QBUF>` ioctl. The status of a buffer being
-mapped, enqueued, full or empty can be determined at any time using the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYBUF` ioctl. Two methods exist to
-suspend execution of the application until one or more buffers can be
-dequeued. By default ``VIDIOC_DQBUF`` blocks when no buffer is in the
-outgoing queue. When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag was given to the
-:ref:`open() <func-open>` function, ``VIDIOC_DQBUF`` returns
-immediately with an ``EAGAIN`` error code when no buffer is available. The
-:ref:`select() <func-select>` or :ref:`poll() <func-poll>` functions
-are always available.

To start and stop capturing or output applications call the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` and
-:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>` ioctl. Note
-``VIDIOC_STREAMOFF`` removes all buffers from both queues as a side
-effect. Since there is no notion of doing anything "now" on a
-multitasking system, if an application needs to synchronize with another
-event it should examine the struct :ref:`v4l2_buffer <v4l2-buffer>`
-``timestamp`` of captured or outputted buffers.
