Arguments
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``fd``
|
||
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``argp``
|
||
|
|
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Description
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This ioctl is part of the :ref:`streaming <mmap>` I/O method. It can
|
||
|
|
be used to query the status of a buffer at any time after buffers have
|
||
|
|
been allocated with the :ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` ioctl.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications set the ``type`` field of a struct
|
||
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_buffer` to the same buffer type as was
|
||
|
|
previously used with struct :c:type:`v4l2_format` ``type``
|
||
|
|
and struct :c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``type``,
|
||
|
|
and the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers range from zero to the
|
||
|
|
number of buffers allocated with
|
||
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` (struct
|
||
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus
|
||
|
|
one. The ``reserved`` and ``reserved2`` fields must be set to 0. When
|
||
|
|
using the :ref:`multi-planar API <planar-apis>`, the ``m.planes``
|
||
|
|
field must contain a userspace pointer to an array of struct
|
||
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_plane` and the ``length`` field has to be set
|
||
|
|
to the number of elements in that array. After calling
|
||
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYBUF` with a pointer to this structure drivers return an
|
||
|
|
error code or fill the rest of the structure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the ``flags`` field the ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED``,
|
||
|
|
``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED``, ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED`` and
|
||
|
|
``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE`` flags will be valid. The ``memory`` field will be
|
||
|
|
set to the current I/O method. For the single-planar API, the
|
||
|
|
``m.offset`` contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the
|
||
|
|
device memory, the ``length`` field its size. For the multi-planar API,
|
||
|
|
fields ``m.mem_offset`` and ``length`` in the ``m.planes`` array
|
||
|
|
elements will be used instead and the ``length`` field of struct
|
||
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_buffer` is set to the number of filled-in
|
||
|
|
array elements. The driver may or may not set the remaining fields and
|
||
|
|
flags, they are meaningless in this context.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The struct :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` structure is specified in
|
||
|
|
:ref:`buffer`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EINVAL
|
||
|
|
The buffer ``type`` is not supported, or the ``index`` is out of
|
||
|
|
bounds.
