``V4L2_CID_GAIN`` ``(integer)``
Gain control.
+ Primarily used to control gain on e.g. TV tuners but also on
+ webcams. Most devices control only digital gain with this control
+ but on some this could include analogue gain as well. Devices that
+ recognise the difference between digital and analogue gain use
+ controls ``V4L2_CID_DIGITAL_GAIN`` and ``V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN``.
