Synopsis

						|
Arguments
 | 
						|
=========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``fd``
 | 
						|
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``argp``
 | 
						|
    Pointer to an integer with output index.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Description
 | 
						|
===========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To query the current video output applications call the
 | 
						|
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
 | 
						|
stores the number of the output, as in the struct
 | 
						|
:c:type:`v4l2_output` ``index`` field. This ioctl will
 | 
						|
fail only when there are no video outputs, returning the ``EINVAL`` error
 | 
						|
code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To select a video output applications store the number of the desired
 | 
						|
output in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a
 | 
						|
pointer to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example outputs
 | 
						|
may support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly
 | 
						|
switch the current standard. standard. Because of these possible side
 | 
						|
effects applications must select an output before querying or
 | 
						|
negotiating any other parameters.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Information about video outputs is available using the
 | 
						|
:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` ioctl.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
EINVAL
 | 
						|
    The number of the video output is out of bounds, or there are no
 | 
						|
    video outputs at all.
