Summary : Collection of video4linux support libraries

License : LGPLv2+ and GPLv2
Description : libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction
: layer on top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin)
: layer is to make it easy for application writers to support a wide
: variety of devices without having to write separate code for
: different devices in the same class. libv4l consists of 3
: different libraries: libv4lconvert, libv4l1 and libv4l2.
:
: libv4lconvert offers functions to convert from any (known)
: pixel-format to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420.
:
: libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices,
: independent of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1
: compatibility (which many v4l2 drivers do not).
:
: libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding
: for the application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where
: necessary.
