29 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
39 This is an :ref:`obsolete` interface and may be removed
40 in the future. It is superseded by
41 :ref:`the selection API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION>`.
43 To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the ``pad``
44 field of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop` to the
45 desired pad number as reported by the media API and the ``which`` field
46 to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``. They then call the
47 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The
48 driver fills the members of the ``rect`` field or returns ``EINVAL`` error
49 code if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping is not supported
52 To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the ``pad``
53 and ``which`` fields and all members of the ``rect`` field. They then
54 call the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this
55 structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
56 based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon
57 return the struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop`
58 contains the current format as would be returned by a
59 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` call.
61 Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the ``which``
62 to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``. When set, 'try' crop rectangles are not
63 applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled exactly as active
64 crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle. Two
65 applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
68 Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
69 rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead
70 modify the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The
71 modified format should be as close as possible to the original request.

103 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
104 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
107 The crop rectangle can't be changed because the pad is currently
108 busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video stream on
109 the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing another
110 action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
