18    * - __u32
19      - ``width``
20      - Image width in pixels.
21    * - __u32
22      - ``height``
23      - Image height in pixels. If ``field`` is one of ``V4L2_FIELD_TOP``,
24	``V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM`` or ``V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE`` then height
25	refers to the number of lines in the field, otherwise it refers to
26	the number of lines in the frame (which is twice the field height
27	for interlaced formats).
28    * - :cspan:`2` Applications set these fields to request an image
29	size, drivers return the closest possible values. In case of
30	planar formats the ``width`` and ``height`` applies to the largest
31	plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers must return values rounded up
32	to a multiple of the scale factor of any smaller planes. For
33	example when the image format is YUV 4:2:0, ``width`` and
34	``height`` must be multiples of two.
35    * - __u32
36      - ``pixelformat``
37      - The pixel format or type of compression, set by the application.
38	This is a little endian
39	:ref:`four character code <v4l2-fourcc>`. V4L2 defines standard
40	RGB formats in :ref:`rgb-formats`, YUV formats in
41	:ref:`yuv-formats`, and reserved codes in
42	:ref:`reserved-formats`
43    * - enum :c:type::`v4l2_field`
44      - ``field``
45      - Video images are typically interlaced. Applications can request to
46	capture or output only the top or bottom field, or both fields
47	interlaced or sequentially stored in one buffer or alternating in
48	separate buffers. Drivers return the actual field order selected.
49	For more details on fields see :ref:`field-order`.
50    * - __u32
51      - ``bytesperline``
52      - Distance in bytes between the leftmost pixels in two adjacent
53	lines.
54    * - :cspan:`2`
55
56	Both applications and drivers can set this field to request
57	padding bytes at the end of each line. Drivers however may ignore
58	the value requested by the application, returning ``width`` times
59	bytes per pixel or a larger value required by the hardware. That
60	implies applications can just set this field to zero to get a
61	reasonable default.
62
63	Video hardware may access padding bytes, therefore they must
64	reside in accessible memory. Consider cases where padding bytes
65	after the last line of an image cross a system page boundary.
66	Input devices may write padding bytes, the value is undefined.
67	Output devices ignore the contents of padding bytes.
68
69	When the image format is planar the ``bytesperline`` value applies
70	to the first plane and is divided by the same factor as the
71	``width`` field for the other planes. For example the Cb and Cr
72	planes of a YUV 4:2:0 image have half as many padding bytes
73	following each line as the Y plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers
74	must return a ``bytesperline`` value rounded up to a multiple of
75	the scale factor.
76
77	For compressed formats the ``bytesperline`` value makes no sense.
78	Applications and drivers must set this to 0 in that case.
79    * - __u32
80      - ``sizeimage``
81      - Size in bytes of the buffer to hold a complete image, set by the
82	driver. Usually this is ``bytesperline`` times ``height``. When
83	the image consists of variable length compressed data this is the
84	maximum number of bytes required to hold an image.
85    * - enum :c:type:`v4l2_colorspace`
86      - ``colorspace``
87      - This information supplements the ``pixelformat`` and must be set
88	by the driver for capture streams and by the application for
89	output streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`.
90    * - __u32
91      - ``priv``
92      - This field indicates whether the remaining fields of the
93	struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format`, also called the
94	extended fields, are valid. When set to
95	``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC``, it indicates that the extended fields
96	have been correctly initialized. When set to any other value it
97	indicates that the extended fields contain undefined values.
98
99	Applications that wish to use the pixel format extended fields
100	must first ensure that the feature is supported by querying the
101	device for the :ref:`V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT <querycap>`
102	capability. If the capability isn't set the pixel format extended
103	fields are not supported and using the extended fields will lead
104	to undefined results.
105
106	To use the extended fields, applications must set the ``priv``
107	field to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC``, initialize all the extended
108	fields and zero the unused bytes of the
109	struct :c:type:`v4l2_format` ``raw_data`` field.
110
111	When the ``priv`` field isn't set to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC``
112	drivers must act as if all the extended fields were set to zero.
113	On return drivers must set the ``priv`` field to
114	``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC`` and all the extended fields to
115	applicable values.
116    * - __u32
117      - ``flags``
118      - Flags set by the application or driver, see :ref:`format-flags`.
119    * - enum :c:type:`v4l2_ycbcr_encoding`
120      - ``ycbcr_enc``
121      - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by
122	the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
123	streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`.
124    * - enum :c:type:`v4l2_hsv_encoding`
125      - ``hsv_enc``
126      - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by
127	the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
128	streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`.
129    * - enum :c:type:`v4l2_quantization`
130      - ``quantization``
131      - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by
132	the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
133	streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`.
134    * - enum :c:type:`v4l2_xfer_func`
135      - ``xfer_func``
136      - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by
137	the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
138	streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`.
