Hello!

xawtv just works with video devices (usually /dev/video*)

xawtv interacts with video devices using V4L1 (video4linux is deprecated
nowadays, but there's a compatibility layer for it --
linux-2.6/drivers/media/video/v4l1-compat.c) or V4L2 (video4linux2).
/dev/video* are character devices and V4L2 API works over ioctl system
calls.
