<para>To open a V4L2 device applications call
|

<function>open()</function> with the desired device name. This

function has no side effects; all data format parameters, current
|
|
input or output, control values or other properties remain unchanged.

At the first <function>open()</function> call after loading the driver
|
|
they will be reset to default values, drivers are never in an

undefined state.</para>
