26 :name: VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT
33 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
36 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_input`.
42 To query the attributes of a video input applications initialize the
43 ``index`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_input` and call the
44 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` with a pointer to this structure. Drivers
45 fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the
46 index is out of bounds. To enumerate all inputs applications shall begin
47 at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.

52 .. c:type:: v4l2_input
54 .. flat-table:: struct v4l2_input
61 - Identifies the input, set by the application.
64 - Name of the video input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
65 example: "Vin (Composite 2)". This information is intended for the
66 user, preferably the connector label on the device itself.
69 - Type of the input, see :ref:`input-type`.
72 - Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio inputs. This field
73 shows which audio inputs were selectable as audio source if this
74 was the currently selected video input. It is a bit mask. The LSB
75 corresponds to audio input 0, the MSB to input 31. Any number of
76 bits can be set, or none.
78 When the driver does not enumerate audio inputs no bits must be
79 set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio
80 support. Some drivers automatically select audio sources and do
81 not enumerate them since there is no choice anyway.
83 For details on audio inputs and how to select the current input
87 - Capture devices can have zero or more tuners (RF demodulators).
88 When the ``type`` is set to ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_TUNER`` this is an
89 RF connector and this field identifies the tuner. It corresponds
90 to struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` field ``index``. For
91 details on tuners see :ref:`tuner`.
92 * - :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
94 - Every video input supports one or more different video standards.
95 This field is a set of all supported standards. For details on
96 video standards and how to switch see :ref:`standard`.
99 - This field provides status information about the input. See
100 :ref:`input-status` for flags. With the exception of the sensor
101 orientation bits ``status`` is only valid when this is the current
105 - This field provides capabilities for the input. See
106 :ref:`input-capabilities` for flags.
109 - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to

123 * - ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_TUNER``
125 - This input uses a tuner (RF demodulator).
126 * - ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_CAMERA``
128 - Any non-tuner video input, for example Composite Video,
129 S-Video, HDMI, camera sensor. The naming as ``_TYPE_CAMERA`` is historical,
130 today we would have called it ``_TYPE_VIDEO``.
131 * - ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_TOUCH``
133 - This input is a touch device for capturing raw touch data.

152 * - ``V4L2_IN_ST_NO_COLOR``
154 - The hardware supports color decoding, but does not detect color
155 modulation in the signal.
156 * - :cspan:`2` Sensor Orientation
157 * - ``V4L2_IN_ST_HFLIP``
159 - The input is connected to a device that produces a signal that is
160 flipped horizontally and does not correct this before passing the

164 - The input is connected to a device that produces a signal that is
165 flipped vertically and does not correct this before passing the

171 - No horizontal sync lock.
172 * - ``V4L2_IN_ST_COLOR_KILL``
174 - A color killer circuit automatically disables color decoding when
175 it detects no color modulation. When this flag is set the color
176 killer is enabled *and* has shut off color decoding.
177 * - ``V4L2_IN_ST_NO_V_LOCK``
179 - No vertical sync lock.
