    <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="overlay">video
    overlay</link> I/O method. Applications call
    <constant>VIDIOC_OVERLAY</constant> to start or stop the
    overlay. It takes a pointer to an integer which must be set to
    zero by the application to stop overlay, to one to start.</para>

    <para>Drivers do not support &VIDIOC-STREAMON; or
&VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; with <constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OVERLAY</constant>.</para>
