Merge tag 'media/v4.8-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"This patch series does the conversion of all media documentation stuff
to Restrutured Text markup format and add them to the
Documentation/index.rst file.
The media documentation was grouped into 4 books:
- media uAPI
- media kAPI
- V4L driver-specific documentation
- DVB driver-specific documentation
It also contains several documentation improvements and one fixup
patch for a core issue with cropcap.
PS. After this patch series, the media DocBook is deprecated and
should be removed. I'll add such patch on a future pull request"

To control a V4L2 decoder use the +V4L2 :ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` instead. + +This ioctl call suspends the live video stream being played. Decoding +and playing are frozen. It is then possible to restart the decoding and +playing process of the video stream using the VIDEO_CONTINUE command. +If VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY is selected in the ioctl call +VIDEO_SELECT_SOURCE, the DVB subsystem will not decode any more data +until the ioctl call VIDEO_CONTINUE or VIDEO_PLAY is performed. + + +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. |
