51     <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="overlay">video
52     overlay</link> I/O method. Applications call
53     <constant>VIDIOC_OVERLAY</constant> to start or stop the
54     overlay. It takes a pointer to an integer which must be set to
55     zero by the application to stop overlay, to one to start.</para>
57     <para>Drivers do not support &VIDIOC-STREAMON; or
58 &VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; with <constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OVERLAY</constant>.</para>
