+ This command is typically used when the application reached the
+ end of the stream and the last output buffer had the
+ ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag set. This would prevent
+ dequeueing the capture buffer containing the last decoded frame.
+ So this command can be used to explicitly flush that final decoded
+ frame. This command does nothing if there are no held capture buffers.
