36 To query the current video output applications call the
37 :ref:`VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
38 stores the number of the output, as in the struct
39 :ref:`v4l2_output <v4l2-output>` ``index`` field. This ioctl will
40 fail only when there are no video outputs, returning the ``EINVAL`` error
43 To select a video output applications store the number of the desired
44 output in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a
45 pointer to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example outputs
46 may support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly
47 switch the current standard. standard. Because of these possible side
48 effects applications must select an output before querying or
49 negotiating any other parameters.
51 Information about video outputs is available using the
52 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` ioctl.
58 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
59 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
60 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
63 The number of the video output is out of bounds, or there are no
