The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also, as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it clearer. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

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

VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT, VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT

|
``argp``

Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
To query the current video output applications call the
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
|
|
stores the number of the output, as in the struct
|
|
:ref:`v4l2_output <v4l2-output>` ``index`` field. This ioctl will
|
|
fail only when there are no video outputs, returning the ``EINVAL`` error
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
To select a video output applications store the number of the desired
|
|
output in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a
|
|
pointer to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example outputs
|
|
may support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly
|
|
switch the current standard. standard. Because of these possible side
|
|
effects applications must select an output before querying or
|
|
negotiating any other parameters.
|
|
|
|
Information about video outputs is available using the
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` ioctl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 number of the video output is out of bounds, or there are no
|
|
video outputs at all.
