69 <para>To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the
70 <structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-crop; to the
71 desired pad number as reported by the media API and the
72 <structfield>which</structfield> field to
73 <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. They then call the
74 <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
75 structure. The driver fills the members of the <structfield>rect</structfield>
76 field or returns &EINVAL; if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping
77 is not supported on the given pad.</para>
79 <para>To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the
80 <structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields
81 and all members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> field. They then call
82 the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
83 structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
84 based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return
85 the &v4l2-subdev-crop; contains the current format as would be returned
86 by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> call.</para>
88 <para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the
89 <structfield>which</structfield> to
90 <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' crop
91 rectangles are not applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled
92 exactly as active crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle.
93 Two applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
96 <para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
97 rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify
98 the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format
99 should be as close as possible to the original request.</para>
