ioctl VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT
**********************

NAME
====

VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT - Enumerate video inputs

SYNOPSIS
========

.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct v4l2_input *argp )


ARGUMENTS
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

``request``
    VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT

``argp``


DESCRIPTION
===========

To query the attributes of a video input applications initialize the
``index`` field of struct :ref:`v4l2_input <v4l2-input>` and call the
:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers
fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the
index is out of bounds. To enumerate all inputs applications shall begin
at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.


.. _v4l2-input:

.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_input
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0
    :widths:       1 1 2


    -  .. row 1

       -  __u32

       -  ``index``

       -  Identifies the input, set by the application.

    -  .. row 2

       -  __u8

       -  ``name``\ [32]

       -  Name of the video input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
	  example: "Vin (Composite 2)". This information is intended for the
	  user, preferably the connector label on the device itself.

    -  .. row 3

       -  __u32

       -  ``type``

       -  Type of the input, see :ref:`input-type`.

    -  .. row 4

       -  __u32

       -  ``audioset``

       -  Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio inputs. This field
	  shows which audio inputs were selectable as audio source if this
	  was the currently selected video input. It is a bit mask. The LSB
	  corresponds to audio input 0, the MSB to input 31. Any number of
	  bits can be set, or none.

	  When the driver does not enumerate audio inputs no bits must be
	  set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio
	  support. Some drivers automatically select audio sources and do
	  not enumerate them since there is no choice anyway.

	  For details on audio inputs and how to select the current input
	  see :ref:`audio`.

    -  .. row 5

       -  __u32

       -  ``tuner``

       -  Capture devices can have zero or more tuners (RF demodulators).
	  When the ``type`` is set to ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_TUNER`` this is an
	  RF connector and this field identifies the tuner. It corresponds
	  to struct :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` field ``index``. For
	  details on tuners see :ref:`tuner`.

    -  .. row 6

       -  :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`

       -  ``std``

       -  Every video input supports one or more different video standards.
	  This field is a set of all supported standards. For details on
	  video standards and how to switch see :ref:`standard`.

    -  .. row 7

       -  __u32

       -  ``status``

       -  This field provides status information about the input. See
	  :ref:`input-status` for flags. With the exception of the sensor
	  orientation bits ``status`` is only valid when this is the current
	  input.

    -  .. row 8

       -  __u32

       -  ``capabilities``

       -  This field provides capabilities for the input. See
	  :ref:`input-capabilities` for flags.

    -  .. row 9

       -  __u32

       -  ``reserved``\ [3]

       -  Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to
	  zero.

RETURN VALUE
============

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

EINVAL
    The struct :ref:`v4l2_input <v4l2-input>` ``index`` is out of
    bounds.
