DESCRIPTION

21       XvGrabPort(3)  grabs  a  port.   Once  a client grabs a port, only that
22       client can make video requests to that port.
23
24       If the time is before the current port time, the XvGrabPort request  is
25       ignored  and XvInvalidTime is returned.  If the port is already grabbed
26       by another client, XvAlreadyGrabbed is returned. Otherwise it returns a
27       status  of  Success.   The  port  time  is  updated  when the following
28       requests are processed: XvGrabPort(3), XvUngrabPort(3),  XvPutVideo(3),
29       XvPutStill(3), XvGetVideo(3), XvGetStill(3).
30
31       If  the port is actively processing video for another client, the video
32       is preempted, and an XvVideoNotify event  with  detail  XvPreempted  is
33       generated for its drawable.
