argp
8.61.4. Description¶
The selections are used to configure various image processing functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
The selection API replaces the old subdev crop API. All the function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
See Sub-device Interface for more information on how each selection target affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
8.61.4.1. Types of selection targets¶
There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
8.61.4.2. Discovering supported features¶
To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION
on them. Any unsupported target will
return EINVAL
.
Selection targets and flags are documented in Common selection definitions.
__u32 | which |
Active or try selection, from enum v4l2_subdev_format_whence. |
__u32 | pad |
Pad number as reported by the media framework. |
__u32 | target |
Target selection rectangle. See Common selection definitions. |
__u32 | flags |
Flags. See Selection flags. |
struct v4l2_rect | r |
Selection rectangle, in pixels. |
__u32 | reserved [8] |
Reserved for future extensions. Applications and drivers must set the array to zero. |
8.61.5. Return Value¶
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the errno
variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
Generic Error Codes chapter.
- EBUSY
- The selection rectangle can’t be changed because the pad is
currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION
- EINVAL
- The struct v4l2_subdev_selection
pad
references a non-existing pad, thewhich
field references a non-existing format, or the selection target is not supported on the given subdev pad.
