+    <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">memory
+mapping</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
+buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
+&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
+
+    <para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
+    of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as previously
+&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
+<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
+    field. Valid index numbers range from zero
+to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
+    (&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
+After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
+    this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
+the structure.</para>
+
+    <para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
+<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to
+<constant>V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP</constant>, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
+contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
+the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. The driver may
+or may not set the remaining fields and flags, they are meaningless in
+this context.</para>
+
+    <para>The <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname> structure is
+    specified in <xref linkend="buffer" />.</para>
