2962306a36Sopenharmony_ci``fd``
3062306a36Sopenharmony_ci    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
3162306a36Sopenharmony_ci
3262306a36Sopenharmony_ci``argp``
3362306a36Sopenharmony_ci    Pointer to an integer with output index.

3562306a36Sopenharmony_ciDescription
3662306a36Sopenharmony_ci===========
3762306a36Sopenharmony_ci
3862306a36Sopenharmony_ciTo query the current video output applications call the
3962306a36Sopenharmony_ci:ref:`VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a pointer to an integer where the driver
4062306a36Sopenharmony_cistores the number of the output, as in the struct
4162306a36Sopenharmony_ci:c:type:`v4l2_output` ``index`` field. This ioctl will
4262306a36Sopenharmony_cifail only when there are no video outputs, returning the ``EINVAL`` error
4362306a36Sopenharmony_cicode.
4462306a36Sopenharmony_ci
4562306a36Sopenharmony_ciTo select a video output applications store the number of the desired
4662306a36Sopenharmony_cioutput in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` ioctl with a
4762306a36Sopenharmony_cipointer to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example outputs
4862306a36Sopenharmony_cimay support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly
4962306a36Sopenharmony_ciswitch the current standard. Because of these possible side
5062306a36Sopenharmony_cieffects applications must select an output before querying or
5162306a36Sopenharmony_cinegotiating any other parameters.
5262306a36Sopenharmony_ci
5362306a36Sopenharmony_ciInformation about video outputs is available using the
5462306a36Sopenharmony_ci:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` ioctl.
5562306a36Sopenharmony_ci
5662306a36Sopenharmony_ciReturn Value
5762306a36Sopenharmony_ci============
5862306a36Sopenharmony_ci
5962306a36Sopenharmony_ciOn success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
6062306a36Sopenharmony_ciappropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
6162306a36Sopenharmony_ci:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
6262306a36Sopenharmony_ci
6362306a36Sopenharmony_ciEINVAL
6462306a36Sopenharmony_ci    The number of the video output is out of bounds, or there are no
6562306a36Sopenharmony_ci    video outputs at all.
