29 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
32 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`.
38 The selections are used to configure various image processing
39 functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
40 currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
42 The selection API replaces
43 :ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
44 function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
46 See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
47 affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
50 Types of selection targets
51 --------------------------
53 There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
54 targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
55 will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
58 Discovering supported features
59 ------------------------------
61 To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
62 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will

104 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
105 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
108 The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
109 currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
110 stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
111 another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by

115 The struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`
116 ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``which`` field
117 references a non-existing format, or the selection target is not
118 supported on the given subdev pad.
