Name
====

VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP - The capabilities of the Digital Video receiver/transmitter

Synopsis
========

.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP

``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP, struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *argp)``

.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP

``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP, struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *argp)``

Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap`.

Description
===========

To query the capabilities of the DV receiver/transmitter applications
initialize the ``pad`` field to 0, zero the reserved array of struct
:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap` and call the
``VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP`` ioctl on a video node and the driver will fill
in the structure.

.. note::

   Drivers may return different values after
   switching the video input or output.

When implemented by the driver DV capabilities of subdevices can be
queried by calling the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP`` ioctl directly
on a subdevice node. The capabilities are specific to inputs (for DV
receivers) or outputs (for DV transmitters), applications must specify
the desired pad number in the struct
:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap` ``pad`` field and
zero the ``reserved`` array. Attempts to query capabilities on a pad
that doesn't support them will return an ``EINVAL`` error code.

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.
