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