+ <entry>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 &v4l2-event-ctrl; associated with it. This struct
+ contains much of the same information as &v4l2-queryctrl; and
+ &v4l2-control;.
+
+ If the event is generated due to a call to &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or
+ &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS;, then the event will not be sent to
+ the file handle that called the ioctl function. This prevents
+ nasty feedback loops.
