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 It is superseded by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

111 The crop rectangle can't be changed because the pad is currently
112 busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video stream on
113 the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing another
114 action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
115 ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP``
