cat <<!
Usage:
$0 [command] [args]
Commands:
set-fps <FPS> /dev/videoX Set device fps (if format is already
negotiated).
set-timeout-image <IMAGE> /dev/videoX Set timeout on device, and
optionally the placeholder picture,
instead of default null frame.
set-caps <CAPS> /dev/videoX Fix format for the device (using GStreamer
caps), so it will be maintained until reset,
regardless of future readers/writers.
Options:
FPS frames per second, either as integer ('30') or fraction ('50/2')
IMAGE image file ("no-input.png"), or 'videotestsrc'
CAPS GStreamer caps ("video/x-raw-yuv, width=640, height=480"),
or 'any'
/dev/videoX the v4l2-loopback device file you want to act on
!
