12 VIDIOC_G_INPUT - VIDIOC_S_INPUT - Query or select the current video input
18 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_G_INPUT, int *argp )
21 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_S_INPUT, int *argp )
29 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
32 Pointer an integer with input index.
38 To query the current video input applications call the
39 :ref:`VIDIOC_G_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
40 stores the number of the input, as in the struct
41 :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``index`` field. This ioctl will fail
42 only when there are no video inputs, returning ``EINVAL``.
44 To select a video input applications store the number of the desired
45 input in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer
46 to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example inputs may
47 support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch
48 the current standard. Because of these possible side effects
49 applications must select an input before querying or negotiating any
52 Information about video inputs is available using the
53 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` ioctl.
59 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
60 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
61 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
64 The number of the video input is out of bounds.
