-VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF - Prepare a buffer for I/O
-
-
-Synopsis
-========
-
-.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF, struct v4l2_buffer *argp )
- :name: VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF
-
-
-Arguments
-=========
-
-``fd``
- File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
-
-``argp``
- Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer`.
-
-
-Description
-===========
-
-Applications can optionally call the :ref:`VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF` ioctl to
-pass ownership of the buffer to the driver before actually enqueuing it,
-using the :ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF <VIDIOC_QBUF>` ioctl, and to prepare it for future I/O. Such
-preparations may include cache invalidation or cleaning. Performing them
-in advance saves time during the actual I/O.
-
-The struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` structure is specified in
-:ref:`buffer`.
-
-
-Return Value
-============
-
-On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
-appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
-:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
-
-EBUSY
- File I/O is in progress.
-
-EINVAL
- The buffer ``type`` is not supported, or the ``index`` is out of
- bounds, or no buffers have been allocated yet, or the ``userptr`` or
- ``length`` are invalid.
