Name

VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION - Get or set selection rectangles on a subdev pad
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp)``
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
``argp``
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`.
Description
===========
The selections are used to configure various image processing
functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
The selection API replaces
:ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
If the subdev device node has been registered in read-only mode, calls to
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION`` are only valid if the ``which`` field is set to
``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``, otherwise an error is returned and the errno
variable is set to ``-EPERM``.
Types of selection targets
--------------------------
There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
Discovering supported features
------------------------------
To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will
return ``EINVAL``.
Selection targets and flags are documented in
:ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.

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.
EBUSY
The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``
EINVAL
The struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection` ``pad`` references a
non-existing pad, the ``which`` field has an unsupported value, or the
selection target is not supported on the given subdev pad.
EPERM
The ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION`` ioctl has been called on a read-only
subdevice and the ``which`` field is set to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``.
