Configure Video4Linux media pipelines

Some of the more complex Video4Linux devices use the media controller interface to expose their internal building blocks, which can then be connected to form a custom processing pipeline for video input and output. media-ctl is a tool that allows you to examine and configure media controller connections from the command line or a shell script.
