12 VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT - Enumerate video outputs

19 :name: VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT
26 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
29 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_output`.
35 To query the attributes of a video outputs applications initialize the
36 ``index`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` and call
37 the :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` with a pointer to this structure.
38 Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code
39 when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all outputs applications
40 shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns
44 .. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}|
46 .. c:type:: v4l2_output
48 .. flat-table:: struct v4l2_output
55 - Identifies the output, set by the application.
58 - Name of the video output, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
59 example: "Vout". This information is intended for the user,
60 preferably the connector label on the device itself.
63 - Type of the output, see :ref:`output-type`.
66 - Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio outputs. This field
67 shows which audio outputs were selectable as the current output if
68 this was the currently selected video output. It is a bit mask.
69 The LSB corresponds to audio output 0, the MSB to output 31. Any
70 number of bits can be set, or none.
72 When the driver does not enumerate audio outputs no bits must be
73 set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio
74 support. Drivers may automatically select audio outputs without

81 - Output devices can have zero or more RF modulators. When the
82 ``type`` is ``V4L2_OUTPUT_TYPE_MODULATOR`` this is an RF connector
83 and this field identifies the modulator. It corresponds to struct
84 :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` field ``index``. For
85 details on modulators see :ref:`tuner`.
86 * - :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
88 - Every video output supports one or more different video standards.
89 This field is a set of all supported standards. For details on
90 video standards and how to switch see :ref:`standard`.
93 - This field provides capabilities for the output. See
94 :ref:`output-capabilities` for flags.
97 - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to
102 .. tabularcolumns:: |p{7.0cm}|p{1.8cm}|p{8.7cm}|
106 .. flat-table:: Output Type
111 * - ``V4L2_OUTPUT_TYPE_MODULATOR``
113 - This output is an analog TV modulator.
114 * - ``V4L2_OUTPUT_TYPE_ANALOG``
116 - Any non-modulator video output, for example Composite Video,
117 S-Video, HDMI. The naming as ``_TYPE_ANALOG`` is historical,
118 today we would have called it ``_TYPE_VIDEO``.
119 * - ``V4L2_OUTPUT_TYPE_ANALOGVGAOVERLAY``
121 - The video output will be copied to a :ref:`video overlay <overlay>`.
125 .. tabularcolumns:: |p{6.6cm}|p{2.2cm}|p{8.7cm}|
127 .. _output-capabilities:
129 .. flat-table:: Output capabilities
134 * - ``V4L2_OUT_CAP_DV_TIMINGS``
136 - This output supports setting video timings by using
137 ``VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS``.
138 * - ``V4L2_OUT_CAP_STD``
140 - This output supports setting the TV standard by using
142 * - ``V4L2_OUT_CAP_NATIVE_SIZE``
144 - This output supports setting the native size using the
145 ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` selection target, see
146 :ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.
152 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
153 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
154 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
