45 The selections are used to configure various image processing
46 functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
47 currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
49 The selection API replaces
50 :ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
51 function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
53 See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
54 affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
56 If the subdev device node has been registered in read-only mode, calls to
57 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION`` are only valid if the ``which`` field is set to
58 ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``, otherwise an error is returned and the errno
59 variable is set to ``-EPERM``.
61 Types of selection targets
62 --------------------------
64 There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
65 targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
66 will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
69 Discovering supported features
70 ------------------------------
72 To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
73 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will

119 The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
120 currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
121 stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
122 another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
