With this ioctl +applications can enumerate a list of known supported timings. Call +:ref:`VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP` to check if it +also supports other standards or even custom timings that are not in +this list. + +To query the available timings, applications initialize the ``index`` +field, set the ``pad`` field to 0, zero the reserved array of struct +:ref:`v4l2_enum_dv_timings <v4l2-enum-dv-timings>` and call the +``VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS`` ioctl on a video node with a pointer to this +structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` +error code when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all supported +DV timings, applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one +until the driver returns ``EINVAL``. + +.. note:: Drivers may enumerate a different set of DV timings after + switching the video input or output. + +When implemented by the driver DV timings of subdevices can be queried +by calling the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS`` ioctl directly on a +subdevice node. The DV timings are specific to inputs (for DV receivers) +or outputs (for DV transmitters), applications must specify the desired +pad number in the struct +:ref:`v4l2_enum_dv_timings <v4l2-enum-dv-timings>` ``pad`` field. +Attempts to enumerate timings on a pad that doesn't support them will +return an ``EINVAL`` error code. + + +.. _v4l2-enum-dv-timings: + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_enum_dv_timings + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + + - .. row 1 + + - __u32 + + - ``index`` + + - Number of the DV timings, set by the application. + + - .. row 2 + + - __u32 + + - ``pad`` + + - Pad number as reported by the media controller API.
