    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Dequeue an event from a video device. No input is required
    for this ioctl. All the fields of the &v4l2-event; structure are
    filled by the driver. The file handle will also receive exceptions
    which the application may get by e.g. using the select system
    call.</para>
