52     <para>The hardware may be able to detect the current video
53 standard automatically. To do so, applications call <constant>
54 VIDIOC_QUERYSTD</constant> with a pointer to a &v4l2-std-id; type. The
55 driver stores here a set of candidates, this can be a single flag or a
56 set of supported standards if for example the hardware can only
57 distinguish between 50 and 60 Hz systems. When detection is not
58 possible or fails, the set must contain all standards supported by the
59 current video input or output.</para>
