Example: capture with cgo-generated types

⚠

This example illustrates how to use ioctl directly to communicate to device using cgo-generated types.

Do not use it

Use package v4l2 to do realtime image capture, as shown in examples capture0 and capture1.

⚠

The example in this directory shows most of the moving pieces that make the V4L2 API works using Go. It illustrates the steps, in detail, that are required to communicate with a device driver to configure, initiate, and capture images without using the Go v4l2 device type provided.
