✨ NAME ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ctx β€” [in] a v4l2 context 🫢 (it's the main character of this call, ngl)
  • fourcc β€” [in] the video format fourcc, like V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264/VP8/VP9.. πŸ¦‹ (yes the .. is literally in there, it's not me being vague, it's the manpage being mysterious)
heads up bestie: both of these are [in] β€” you're feeding info to the call, not getting stuff back out of 'em. πŸ’€
