- <entry>When this event is subscribed an initial event will be sent

- <entry><para>If set, then events directly caused by an ioctl will also be sent to
- the filehandle that called that ioctl. For example, changing a control using
- &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; will cause a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL to be sent back to that same
- filehandle. Normally such events are suppressed to prevent feedback loops
- where an application changes a control to a one value and then another, and
- then receives an event telling it that that control has changed to the first
- value.</para>
-
- <para>Since it can't tell whether that event was caused by another application
- or by the &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; call it is hard to decide whether to set the
- control to the value in the event, or ignore it.</para>
-
- <para>Think carefully when you set this flag so you won't get into situations
- like that.</para>
