Update
======
This repo is ancient and deprecated.
It largely contains code using proprietary APIs to interface
to the VideoCore firmware. We have since move to standard linux APIs.
V4L2, DRM/KMS and Mesa are the APIs you should be using.
The few useful tools from here (dtoverlay, dtmerge, vcmailbox, vcgencmd)
have been moved to the raspberrypi/utils repo.
Code from here is no longer installed on latest RPiOS Bookworm images.
If you are using code from here you should rethink your solution.
Consider this repo closed.
