I'm working on the V4L2 DocBook spec and when reading through the "Device Naming" subsection of the "Opening and Closing Devices" section in the first chapter I realized that it is really out of date. The text is in this file: Documentation/DocBook/v4l/common.xml With udev pretty much everything in that section is useless (and probably confusing for first-time readers). I propose that we replace it with something short like this: ----------------------------------------------------- Device Naming V4L2 drivers create one or more device nodes with major number 81 and a minor number between 0 and 255. Three types of devices can be created: /dev/videoX Used for video capture/output/overlay. /dev/radioX Used for radio and RDS tuning/modulating. /dev/vbiX Used for VBI capture and output. ----------------------------------------------------- Is there anything else that should be in here? BTW, I'm working on editing the 'Related Devices', 'Multiple Opens' and 'Shared Data Streams' as well.
