+VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT - Enumerate video inputs
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct v4l2_input *argp )
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To query the attributes of a video input applications initialize the
+``index`` field of struct :ref:`v4l2_input <v4l2-input>` and call the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` ioctl 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 inputs applications shall begin
+at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.
+
+
+.. _v4l2-input:
+
+.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_input
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 1 1 2
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``index``
+
+ - Identifies the input, set by the application.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - __u8
+
+ - ``name``\ [32]
+
+ - Name of the video input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
+ example: "Vin (Composite 2)". This information is intended for the
+ user, preferably the connector label on the device itself.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``type``
+
+ - Type of the input, see :ref:`input-type`.
+
+ - .. row 4
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``audioset``
+
+ - Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio inputs. This field
+ shows which audio inputs were selectable as audio source if this
+ was the currently selected video input. It is a bit mask. The LSB
+ corresponds to audio input 0, the MSB to input 31. Any number of
+ bits can be set, or none.
+
+ When the driver does not enumerate audio inputs no bits must be
+ set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio
+ support. Some drivers automatically select audio sources and do
+ not enumerate them since there is no choice anyway.
+
+ For details on audio inputs and how to select the current input
+ see :ref:`audio`.
+
+ - .. row 5
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``tuner``
+
+ - Capture devices can have zero or more tuners (RF demodulators).
+ When the ``type`` is set to ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_TUNER`` this is an
+ RF connector and this field identifies the tuner. It corresponds
+ to struct :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` field ``index``. For
+ details on tuners see :ref:`tuner`.
+
+ - .. row 6
+
+ - :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
+
+ - ``std``
+
+ - Every video input supports one or more different video standards.
+ This field is a set of all supported standards. For details on
+ video standards and how to switch see :ref:`standard`.
+
+ - .. row 7
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``status``
+
+ - This field provides status information about the input. See
+ :ref:`input-status` for flags. With the exception of the sensor
+ orientation bits ``status`` is only valid when this is the current
+ input.
+
+ - .. row 8
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``capabilities``
+
+ - This field provides capabilities for the input. See
+ :ref:`input-capabilities` for flags.
+
+ - .. row 9
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``reserved``\ [3]
+
+ - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to
+ zero.
+
