5377d91f
MH
36===========
37
38To query and select the current video standard applications use the
4e03cb76
MCC
39:ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` ioctls which take a pointer to a
40:ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>` type as argument. :ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>`
5377d91f
MH
41can return a single flag or a set of flags as in struct
42:ref:`v4l2_standard <v4l2-standard>` field ``id``. The flags must be
43unambiguous such that they appear in only one enumerated
acf309a2 44:ref:`struct v4l2_standard <v4l2-standard>` structure.
5377d91f 45
2212ff25 46:ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` accepts one or more flags, being a write-only ioctl it
4e03cb76 47does not return the actual new standard as :ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` does. When
5377d91f 48no flags are given or the current input does not support the requested
cdb4af0f
MCC
49standard the driver returns an ``EINVAL`` error code. When the standard set
50is ambiguous drivers may return ``EINVAL`` or choose any of the requested
5377d91f 51standards. If the current input or output does not support standard
7347081e 52video timings (e.g. if :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT`
cdb4af0f 53does not set the ``V4L2_IN_CAP_STD`` flag), then ``ENODATA`` error code is
5377d91f
MH
54returned.

15e7d615 57Return Value
5377d91f

58============
59
60On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
61appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
62:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
63
64EINVAL
2212ff25 65 The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` parameter was unsuitable.
