12 VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL - Enumerate frame intervals
18 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL, struct v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum * argp )
19 :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL
26 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
29 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum`.
35 This ioctl lets applications enumerate available frame intervals on a
36 given sub-device pad. Frame intervals only makes sense for sub-devices
37 that can control the frame period on their own. This includes, for
38 instance, image sensors and TV tuners.
40 For the common use case of image sensors, the frame intervals available
41 on the sub-device output pad depend on the frame format and size on the
42 same pad. Applications must thus specify the desired format and size
43 when enumerating frame intervals.
45 To enumerate frame intervals applications initialize the ``index``,
46 ``pad``, ``which``, ``code``, ``width`` and ``height`` fields of struct
47 :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum`
48 and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL` ioctl with a pointer
49 to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
50 EINVAL error code if one of the input fields is invalid. All frame
51 intervals are enumerable by beginning at index zero and incrementing by
52 one until ``EINVAL`` is returned.
54 Available frame intervals may depend on the current 'try' formats at
55 other pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links.
56 See :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT` for more
57 information about the try formats.
59 Sub-devices that support the frame interval enumeration ioctl should
60 implemented it on a single pad only. Its behaviour when supported on
61 multiple pads of the same sub-device is not defined.

113 ``index`` field is out of bounds.
