12 VIDIOC_G_INPUT - VIDIOC_S_INPUT - Query or select the current video input
18 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_G_INPUT, int *argp )
21 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_S_INPUT, int *argp )
29 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
37 To query the current video input applications call the
38 :ref:`VIDIOC_G_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
39 stores the number of the input, as in the struct
40 :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``index`` field. This ioctl will fail
41 only when there are no video inputs, returning ``EINVAL``.
43 To select a video input applications store the number of the desired
44 input in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer
45 to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example inputs may
46 support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch
47 the current standard. Because of these possible side effects
48 applications must select an input before querying or negotiating any
51 Information about video inputs is available using the
52 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` 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 input is out of bounds.
