7The struct :c:type:`v4l2_plane_pix_format` structures define size
8and layout for each of the planes in a multi-planar format. The
9struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format_mplane` structure contains
10information common to all planes (such as image width and height) and an
11array of struct :c:type:`v4l2_plane_pix_format` structures,
12describing all planes of that format.

25    * - __u32
26      - ``sizeimage``
27      - Maximum size in bytes required for image data in this plane,
28	set by the driver. When the image consists of variable length
29	compressed data this is the number of bytes required by the
30	codec to support the worst-case compression scenario.
31
32	The driver will set the value for uncompressed images.
33
34	Clients are allowed to set the sizeimage field for variable length
35	compressed data flagged with ``V4L2_FMT_FLAG_COMPRESSED`` at
36	:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT`, but the driver may ignore it and set the
37	value itself, or it may modify the provided value based on
38	alignment requirements or minimum/maximum size requirements.
39	If the client wants to leave this to the driver, then it should
40	set sizeimage to 0.
41    * - __u32
42      - ``bytesperline``
43      - Distance in bytes between the leftmost pixels in two adjacent
44	lines. See struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format`.
45    * - __u16
46      - ``reserved[6]``
47      - Reserved for future extensions. Should be zeroed by drivers and
48	applications.
