+<para>This ioctl is an extension to the <link linkend="mmap">memory

+buffer as DMABUF file at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
+&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>

+<para>Prior to exporting an application calls <link

+
+<para>To export a buffer, the application fills &v4l2-exportbuffer;.  The
+<structfield> mem_offset </structfield> field is set to the offset obtained
+from <constant> VIDIOC_QUERYBUF </constant>.  Additional flags may be posted in
+the <structfield> flags </structfield> field.  Refer to manual for open syscall
+for details. Currently only O_CLOEXEC is guaranteed to be supported.  All other
+fields must be set to zero.  In a case of multi-planar API, every plane is
+exported separately using multiple <constant> VIDIOC_EXPBUF </constant>
+calls.</para>

+<para> After calling <constant>VIDIOC_EXPBUF</constant> the <structfield> fd
