Welcome to the API reference for libcamera, a complex camera support library for Linux, Android and ChromeOS. These pages are automatically generated from the libcamera source code and describe the API in detail - if this is your first interaction with libcamera then you may find it useful to visit the documentation in the first instance, which can provide a more generic introduction to the library's concepts.

As a follow-on to the developer's guide, to assist you in using libcamera within your project the application developer's guide gives an overview on how to achieve that.

Only the public part of the libcamera API is documented here; if you are a developer seeking to add support for your hardware to the library or make other improvements, you should switch to the internal API reference pages instead.
