Both are character drivers. My one uses open, read, mmap, ioctl, close.
Mainly tested on read. mmap works, but not yet extensively tested.
ioctl is used to start/stop acquisition, get info about buffer length,
and some error statistics collected during acquisitions.
see:

for more detailed description.

I do not quite understand V4L2 lib in particular how can I get a
contiguous buffer in physical memory which do not cross 4MB
boundary (hardware requirement).
Thanks,
