- <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">streaming
-</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
-buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
-&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
-
- <para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
- of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as was previously used with
-&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
-<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
- field. Valid index numbers range from zero
-to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
- (&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
-The <structfield>reserved</structfield> and <structfield>reserved2 </structfield>
-fields must be set to 0.
-When using the <link linkend="planar-apis">multi-planar API</link>, the
-<structfield>m.planes</structfield> field must contain a userspace pointer to an
-array of &v4l2-plane; and the <structfield>length</structfield> field has
-to be set to the number of elements in that array.
-After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
- this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
-the structure.</para>
-
- <para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED</constant>,
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
-<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to the current
-I/O method. For the single-planar API, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
-contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
-the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. For the multi-planar API,
-fields <structfield>m.mem_offset</structfield> and
-<structfield>length</structfield> in the <structfield>m.planes</structfield>
-array elements will be used instead and the <structfield>length</structfield>
-field of &v4l2-buffer; is set to the number of filled-in array elements.
-The driver may or may not set the remaining fields and flags, they are
-meaningless in this context.</para>

- <para>The <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname> structure is
