+    <para>All V4L2 devices support the
+<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCAP</constant> ioctl. It is used to identify
+kernel devices compatible with this specification and to obtain
+information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl takes a
+pointer to a &v4l2-capability; which is filled by the driver. When the
+driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl returns an
+&EINVAL;.</para>
