The conversion script added some comments at the end. They point to the original DocBook files, with will be removed after the manual fixes. So, they'll be pointing to nowere. So, remove those comments. They'll be forever stored at the Kernel tree. So, if someone wants the references, it is just a matter of looking at the backlog.

Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
|
|
|
|
``request``
|
|
VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS
|
|
|
|
``argp``

|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The hardware may be able to detect the current DV timings automatically,
|
|
similar to sensing the video standard. To do so, applications call
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS` with a pointer to a struct
|
|
:ref:`v4l2_dv_timings <v4l2-dv-timings>`. Once the hardware detects
|
|
the timings, it will fill in the timings structure.
|
|
|
|
Please note that drivers shall *not* switch timings automatically if new
|
|
timings are detected. Instead, drivers should send the
|
|
``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE`` event (if they support this) and expect
|
|
that userspace will take action by calling :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS`.
|
|
The reason is that new timings usually mean different buffer sizes as
|
|
well, and you cannot change buffer sizes on the fly. In general,
|
|
applications that receive the Source Change event will have to call
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS`, and if the detected timings are valid they
|
|
will have to stop streaming, set the new timings, allocate new buffers
|
|
and start streaming again.
|
|
|
|
If the timings could not be detected because there was no signal, then
|
|
ENOLINK is returned. If a signal was detected, but it was unstable and
|
|
the receiver could not lock to the signal, then ``ENOLCK`` is returned. If
|
|
the receiver could lock to the signal, but the format is unsupported
|
|
(e.g. because the pixelclock is out of range of the hardware
|
|
capabilities), then the driver fills in whatever timings it could find
|
|
and returns ``ERANGE``. In that case the application can call
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP` to compare the
|
|
found timings with the hardware's capabilities in order to give more
|
|
precise feedback to the user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
ENODATA
|
|
Digital video timings are not supported for this input or output.
|
|
|
|
ENOLINK
|
|
No timings could be detected because no signal was found.
|
|
|
|
ENOLCK
|
|
The signal was unstable and the hardware could not lock on to it.
|
|
|
|
ERANGE
|
|
Timings were found, but they are out of range of the hardware
|
|
capabilities.
