Arguments
 | 
						|
=========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``fd``
 | 
						|
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``argp``
 | 
						|
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_frmivalenum`
 | 
						|
    that contains a pixel format and size and receives a frame interval.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Description
 | 
						|
===========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame intervals that the
 | 
						|
device supports for the given pixel format and frame size.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The supported pixel formats and frame sizes can be obtained by using the
 | 
						|
:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` and
 | 
						|
:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES` functions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The return value and the content of the ``v4l2_frmivalenum.type`` field
 | 
						|
depend on the type of frame intervals the device supports. Here are the
 | 
						|
semantics of the function for the different cases:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-  **Discrete:** The function returns success if the given index value
 | 
						|
   (zero-based) is valid. The application should increase the index by
 | 
						|
   one for each call until ``EINVAL`` is returned. The
 | 
						|
   `v4l2_frmivalenum.type` field is set to
 | 
						|
   `V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_DISCRETE` by the driver. Of the union only
 | 
						|
   the `discrete` member is valid.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-  **Step-wise:** The function returns success if the given index value
 | 
						|
   is zero and ``EINVAL`` for any other index value. The
 | 
						|
   ``v4l2_frmivalenum.type`` field is set to
 | 
						|
   ``V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_STEPWISE`` by the driver. Of the union only the
 | 
						|
   ``stepwise`` member is valid.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-  **Continuous:** This is a special case of the step-wise type above.
 | 
						|
   The function returns success if the given index value is zero and
 | 
						|
   ``EINVAL`` for any other index value. The ``v4l2_frmivalenum.type``
 | 
						|
   field is set to ``V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_CONTINUOUS`` by the driver. Of
 | 
						|
   the union only the ``stepwise`` member is valid and the ``step``
 | 
						|
   value is set to 1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When the application calls the function with index zero, it must check
 | 
						|
the ``type`` field to determine the type of frame interval enumeration
 | 
						|
the device supports. Only for the ``V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_DISCRETE`` type
 | 
						|
does it make sense to increase the index value to receive more frame
 | 
						|
intervals.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. note::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   The order in which the frame intervals are returned has no
 | 
						|
   special meaning. In particular does it not say anything about potential
 | 
						|
   default frame intervals.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Applications can assume that the enumeration data does not change
 | 
						|
without any interaction from the application itself. This means that the
 | 
						|
enumeration data is consistent if the application does not perform any
 | 
						|
other ioctl calls while it runs the frame interval enumeration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. note::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   **Frame intervals and frame rates:** The V4L2 API uses frame
 | 
						|
   intervals instead of frame rates. Given the frame interval the frame
 | 
						|
   rate can be computed as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
       frame_rate = 1 / frame_interval
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Structs
 | 
						|
=======
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the structs below, *IN* denotes a value that has to be filled in by
 | 
						|
the application, *OUT* denotes values that the driver fills in. The
 | 
						|
application should zero out all members except for the *IN* fields.
