^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5) /dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) ioctl()s allowed limited control.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
