The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now, no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook. This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame
|
|
intervals that the device supports for the given pixel format and
|
|
frame size.</para>
|
|
<para>The supported pixel formats and frame sizes can be obtained
|
|
by using the &VIDIOC-ENUM-FMT; and &VIDIOC-ENUM-FRAMESIZES;
|
|
functions.</para>
|
|
<para>The return value and the content of the
|
|
<structfield>v4l2_frmivalenum.type</structfield> field depend on the
|
|
type of frame intervals the device supports. Here are the semantics of
|
|
the function for the different cases:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">Discrete:</emphasis> The function
|
|
returns success if the given index value (zero-based) is valid. The
|
|
application should increase the index by one for each call until
|
|
<constant>EINVAL</constant> is returned. The `v4l2_frmivalenum.type`
|
|
field is set to `V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_DISCRETE` by the driver. Of the
|
|
union only the `discrete` member is valid.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">Step-wise:</emphasis> The function
|
|
returns success if the given index value is zero and
|
|
<constant>EINVAL</constant> for any other index value. The
|
|
<structfield>v4l2_frmivalenum.type</structfield> field is set to
|
|
<constant>V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_STEPWISE</constant> by the driver. Of the
|
|
union only the <structfield>stepwise</structfield> member is
|
|
valid.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">Continuous:</emphasis> This is a
|
|
special case of the step-wise type above. The function returns success
|
|
if the given index value is zero and <constant>EINVAL</constant> for
|
|
any other index value. The
|
|
<structfield>v4l2_frmivalenum.type</structfield> field is set to
|
|
<constant>V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_CONTINUOUS</constant> by the driver. Of
|
|
the union only the <structfield>stepwise</structfield> member is valid
|
|
and the <structfield>step</structfield> value is set to 1.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>When the application calls the function with index zero, it
|
|
must check the <structfield>type</structfield> field to determine the
|
|
type of frame interval enumeration the device supports. Only for the
|
|
<constant>V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_DISCRETE</constant> type does it make
|
|
sense to increase the index value to receive more frame
|
|
intervals.</para>
|
|
<para>Note that the order in which the frame intervals are
|
|
returned has no special meaning. In particular does it not say
|
|
anything about potential default frame intervals.</para>
|
|
<para>Applications can assume that the enumeration data does not
|
|
change without any interaction from the application itself. This means
|
|
that the enumeration data is consistent if the application does not
|
|
perform any other ioctl calls while it runs the frame interval
|
|
enumeration.</para>
