25 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
28 VIDIOC_G_INPUT, VIDIOC_S_INPUT
36 To query the current video input applications call the
37 :ref:`VIDIOC_G_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
38 stores the number of the input, as in the struct
39 :ref:`v4l2_input <v4l2-input>` ``index`` field. This ioctl will fail
40 only when there are no video inputs, returning ``EINVAL``.
42 To select a video input applications store the number of the desired
43 input in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer
44 to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example inputs may
45 support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch
46 the current standard. Because of these possible side effects
47 applications must select an input before querying or negotiating any
50 Information about video inputs is available using the
51 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` ioctl.
57 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
58 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
59 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
62 The number of the video input is out of bounds.
