<title>Description</title>
<para>The hardware may be able to detect the current video
standard automatically. To do so, applications call <constant>
VIDIOC_QUERYSTD</constant> with a pointer to a &v4l2-std-id; type. The
driver stores here a set of candidates, this can be a single flag or a
set of supported standards if for example the hardware can only
distinguish between 50 and 60 Hz systems. If no signal was detected,
then the driver will return V4L2_STD_UNKNOWN. When detection is not
possible or fails, the set must contain all standards supported by the
current video input or output.</para>
