+I/O. It can be used as an alternative or in addition to the
+<constant>VIDIOC_REQBUFS</constant> ioctl, when a tighter control over buffers
+is required. This ioctl can be called multiple times to create buffers of
+different sizes.</para>
+
+    <para>To allocate device buffers applications initialize relevant fields of
+the <structname>v4l2_create_buffers</structname> structure. They set the
+<structfield>type</structfield> field in the
+<structname>v4l2_format</structname> structure, embedded in this
+structure, to the respective stream or buffer type.
+<structfield>count</structfield> must be set to the number of required buffers.
+<structfield>memory</structfield> specifies the required I/O method. The
+<structfield>format</structfield> field shall typically be filled in using
+either the <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_FMT</constant> or
+<constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> ioctl(). Additionally, applications can adjust
+<structfield>sizeimage</structfield> fields to fit their specific needs. The
+<structfield>reserved</structfield> array must be zeroed.</para>
+
+    <para>When the ioctl is called with a pointer to this structure the driver
+will attempt to allocate up to the requested number of buffers and store the
+actual number allocated and the starting index in the
+<structfield>count</structfield> and the <structfield>index</structfield> fields
+respectively. On return <structfield>count</structfield> can be smaller than
+the number requested. The driver may also increase buffer sizes if required,
+however, it will not update <structfield>sizeimage</structfield> field values.
+The user has to use <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> to retrieve that
+information.</para>
