466fa12c5SStefan RichterDescription:
566fa12c5SStefan Richter	/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
666fa12c5SStefan Richter	controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
766fa12c5SStefan Richter	could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
866fa12c5SStefan Richter	ioctl()s allowed limited control.
966fa12c5SStefan Richter	This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
1066fa12c5SStefan Richter	libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
1166fa12c5SStefan Richter	transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
