If you want to query the capabilities with a minimum of side-effects,
then this can be called with ``count`` set to 0, ``memory`` set to
``V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP`` and ``type`` set to the buffer type. This will
free any previously allocated buffers, so this is typically something
that will be done at the start of the application.
