36 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
39 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop`.
47 This is an :ref:`obsolete` interface and may be removed
48 in the future. It is superseded by
49 :ref:`the selection API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION>`.
51 To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the ``pad``
52 field of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop` to the
53 desired pad number as reported by the media API and the ``which`` field
54 to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``. They then call the
55 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The
56 driver fills the members of the ``rect`` field or returns ``EINVAL`` error
57 code if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping is not supported
60 To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the ``pad``
61 and ``which`` fields and all members of the ``rect`` field. They then
62 call the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this
63 structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
64 based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon
65 return the struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop`
66 contains the current format as would be returned by a
67 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` call.
69 Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the ``which``
70 to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``. When set, 'try' crop rectangles are not
71 applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled exactly as active
72 crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle. Two
73 applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
76 If the subdev device node has been registered in read-only mode, calls to
77 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` are only valid if the ``which`` field is set to
78 ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``, otherwise an error is returned and the errno
79 variable is set to ``-EPERM``.
81 Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
82 rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead
83 modify the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The
84 modified format should be as close as possible to the original request.

115 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
116 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
117 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
120 The crop rectangle can't be changed because the pad is currently
121 busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video stream on
122 the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing another
123 action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
124 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP``

128 references a non-existing pad, the ``which`` field references a

133 The ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` ioctl has been called on a read-only subdevice
