5377d91f MH |
24 | ========= |
25 | ||
26 | ``fd`` | |
27 | File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`. | |
28 | ||
29 | ``request`` | |
30 | VIDIOC_G_STD, VIDIOC_S_STD | |

15e7d615 | 35 | Description |
5377d91f MH |
36 | =========== |
37 | ||
38 | To 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 |
41 | can return a single flag or a set of flags as in struct |
42 | :ref:`v4l2_standard <v4l2-standard>` field ``id``. The flags must be | |
43 | unambiguous 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 | 47 | does not return the actual new standard as :ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` does. When |
5377d91f | 48 | no flags are given or the current input does not support the requested |
cdb4af0f MCC |
49 | standard the driver returns an ``EINVAL`` error code. When the standard set |
50 | is ambiguous drivers may return ``EINVAL`` or choose any of the requested | |
5377d91f | 51 | standards. If the current input or output does not support standard |
7347081e | 52 | video timings (e.g. if :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` |
cdb4af0f | 53 | does not set the ``V4L2_IN_CAP_STD`` flag), then ``ENODATA`` error code is |
5377d91f MH |
54 | returned. |
55 | ||
56 | ||
15e7d615 | 57 | Return Value |
5377d91f MH |
58 | ============ |
59 | ||
60 | On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set | |
61 | appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the | |
62 | :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. | |
63 | ||
64 | EINVAL | |
2212ff25 | 65 | The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>` parameter was unsuitable. |
5377d91f MH |
66 | |
67 | ENODATA | |
68 | Standard video timings are not supported for this input or output. |
