+What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
+Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+ New application development should use raw1394 + userspace libraries
+ instead, notably libiec61883 which is functionally equivalent.
+
+Users:
+ ffmpeg/libavformat (used by a variety of media players)
+ dvgrab v1.x (replaced by dvgrab2 on top of raw1394 and resp. libraries)

The return value is zero for success, else a negative errno. It should
be checked, since the get/set calls don't have error returns and since
misconfiguration is possible. (These calls could sleep.)
+For output GPIOs, the value provided becomes the initial output value.
+This helps avoid signal glitching during system startup.

Setting the direction can fail if the GPIO number is invalid, or when
that particular GPIO can't be used in that mode. It's generally a bad
idea to rely on boot firmware to have set the direction correctly, since
