|
|
|
|
<para>The <function>ioctl()</function> function is used to program
|
|
V4L2 devices. The argument <parameter>fd</parameter> must be an open
|
|
file descriptor. An ioctl <parameter>request</parameter> has encoded
|
|
in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write
|
|
parameter, and the size of the argument <parameter>argp</parameter> in
|
|
bytes. Macros and defines specifying V4L2 ioctl requests are located
|
|
in the <filename>videodev2.h</filename> header file.
|
|
Applications should use their own copy, not include the version in the
|
|
kernel sources on the system they compile on. All V4L2 ioctl requests,
|
|
their respective function and parameters are specified in <xref
|
|
linkend="user-func" />.</para>
|
|
</refsect1>
|
|
|
|
<refsect1>
|
|
&return-value;
|
|
<para>When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails,
|
|
the parameter remains unmodified.</para>
