52 <para>To query the attributes of a video input applications
53 initialize the <structfield>index</structfield> field of &v4l2-input;
54 and call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT</constant> ioctl with a
55 pointer to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or
56 return an &EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all
57 inputs applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one
58 until the driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>
