ioctl VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING
******************************************************
Name
====
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING - Get or set routing between streams of media pads in a media entity.
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING, struct v4l2_subdev_routing *argp)``
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING, struct v4l2_subdev_routing *argp)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
``argp``
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`.
Description
===========
These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.
Drivers report their current routing tables using the
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
with the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` ioctl, by adding or removing routes and
setting or clearing flags of the ``flags`` field of a
struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.
All stream configurations are reset when ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is called. This
means that the userspace must reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl
with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``.
Only subdevices which have both sink and source pads can support routing.
When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application
provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again.

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
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
ENOSPC
The application provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain
all the available routes the subdevice exposes.
EINVAL
The sink or source pad identifiers reference a non-existing pad, or reference
pads of different types (ie. the sink_pad identifiers refers to a source pad)
or the sink or source stream identifiers reference a non-existing stream on
the sink or source pad.
E2BIG
The application provided ``num_routes`` for ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is
larger than the number of routes the driver can handle.
