   8 The V4L2 API was primarily designed for devices exchanging image data
   9 with applications. The :c:type:`struct v4l2_pix_format` and
  10 :c:type:`struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane` structures define the
  11 format and layout of an image in memory. The former is used with the
  12 single-planar API, while the latter is used with the multi-planar
  13 version (see :ref:`planar-apis`). Image formats are negotiated with
  14 the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl. (The explanations here
  15 focus on video capturing and output, for overlay frame buffer formats
  16 see also :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FBUF`.)
