84 | <entry>Lowest priority, usually applications running in | |
85 | background, for example monitoring VBI transmissions. A proxy | |
86 | application running in user space will be necessary if multiple | |
87 | applications want to read from a device at this priority.</entry> | |

97 | <entry>Medium priority, usually applications started and | |
98 | interactively controlled by the user. For example TV viewers, Teletext | |
99 | browsers, or just "panel" applications to change the channel or video | |
100 | controls. This is the default priority unless an application requests | |
101 | another.</entry> | |

106 | <entry>Highest priority. Only one file descriptor can have | |
107 | this priority, it blocks any other fd from changing device properties. | |
108 | Usually applications which must not be interrupted, like video | |
109 | recording.</entry> | |
