|
<para>To query the current video input applications call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_G_INPUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to an integer
|
|
where the driver stores the number of the input, as in the
|
|
&v4l2-input; <structfield>index</structfield> field. This ioctl will
|
|
fail only when there are no video inputs, returning
|
|
<errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To select a video input applications store the number of the
|
|
desired input in an integer and call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_S_INPUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
|
|
integer. Side effects are possible. For example inputs may support
|
|
different video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch the
|
|
current standard. Because of these possible side effects applications
|
|
must select an input before querying or negotiating any other parameters.</para>
