<entry><para>This event requires that the <structfield>id</structfield>

matches the control ID from which you want to receive events.
|

This event is triggered if the control's value changes, if a

|
button control is pressed or if the control's flags change.
|
|
This event has a &v4l2-event-ctrl; associated with it. This struct

contains much of the same information as &v4l2-queryctrl; and

&v4l2-control;.</para>

<para>If the event is generated due to a call to &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or

&VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS;, then the event will <emphasis>not</emphasis> be sent to
|
|
the file handle that called the ioctl function. This prevents
|
|
nasty feedback loops. If you <emphasis>do</emphasis> want to get the
|
|
event, then set the <constant>V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK</constant>
|
|
flag.

</para>
|
|

<para>This event type will ensure that no information is lost when

more events are raised than there is room internally. In that

case the &v4l2-event-ctrl; of the second-oldest event is kept,
|
|
but the <structfield>changes</structfield> field of the

|
second-oldest event is ORed with the <structfield>changes</structfield>

In such cases the <structfield>frame_sequence</structfield>

<entry><para>If set, then events directly caused by an ioctl will also be sent to

the filehandle that called that ioctl. For example, changing a control using
|
|
&VIDIOC-S-CTRL; will cause a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL to be sent back to that same
|
|
filehandle. Normally such events are suppressed to prevent feedback loops
|
|
where an application changes a control to a one value and then another, and
|
|
then receives an event telling it that that control has changed to the first
|
|
value.</para>

<para>Since it can't tell whether that event was caused by another application

or by the &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; call it is hard to decide whether to set the

control to the value in the event, or ignore it.</para>

like that.</para>
