7.18. ioctl VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT¶
7.18.1. Name¶
VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT - Enumerate video inputs
7.18.3. Arguments¶
fd
File descriptor returned by
open()
.argp
Pointer to struct
v4l2_input
.
7.18.4. Description¶
To query the attributes of a video input applications initialize the
index
field of struct v4l2_input
and call the
ioctl VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT with a pointer to this structure. Drivers
fill the rest of the structure or return an EINVAL
error code when the
index is out of bounds. To enumerate all inputs applications shall begin
at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL
.

Type of the input, see Input Types. |

Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio inputs. This field shows which audio inputs were selectable as audio source if this was the currently selected video input. It is a bit mask. The LSB corresponds to audio input 0, the MSB to input 31. Any number of bits can be set, or none. When the driver does not enumerate audio inputs no bits must be set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio support. Some drivers automatically select audio sources and do not enumerate them since there is no choice anyway. For details on audio inputs and how to select the current input see Audio Inputs and Outputs. |

The input is connected to a device that produces a signal that is flipped vertically and does not correct this before passing the signal to userspace. .. note:: A 180 degree rotation is the same as HFLIP | VFLIP |

7.18.5. 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.
