+----------------------
+
+The 'debug' attribute that is created for each video, vbi, radio or swradio
+device in /sys/class/video4linux/<devX>/ allows you to enable logging of
+file operations.
+
+It is a bitmask and the following bits can be set:
+
+0x01: Log the ioctl name and error code. VIDIOC_(D)QBUF ioctls are only logged
+      if bit 0x08 is also set.
+0x02: Log the ioctl name arguments and error code. VIDIOC_(D)QBUF ioctls are
+      only logged if bit 0x08 is also set.
+0x04: Log the file operations open, release, read, write, mmap and
+      get_unmapped_area. The read and write operations are only logged if
+      bit 0x08 is also set.
+0x08: Log the read and write file operations and the VIDIOC_QBUF and
+      VIDIOC_DQBUF ioctls.
+0x10: Log the poll file operation.
