linuxtv.rog 网站上找到v4l2的用户手册,在kernel下make htmldosc 下生成的内核帮助文件有v4l2的用户手册
下面是2.6.32版本的V4L2_API
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/legacy/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html
对应kernel新版本的v4l2-API,每个内核版本有对应的v4l2-api
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/userspace-api/v4l/v4l2.html
v4l2 调用示例

v4l2 grab程序
This program demonstrates how to grab V4L2 images in ppm format by using libv4l handlers. The advantage is that this grabber can potentially work with any V4L2 driver.
