VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS - Log driver status information

|
Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS)
|
|
:name: VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
As the video/audio devices become more complicated it becomes harder to
|
|
debug problems. When this ioctl is called the driver will output the
|
|
current device status to the kernel log. This is particular useful when
|
|
dealing with problems like no sound, no video and incorrectly tuned
|
|
channels. Also many modern devices autodetect video and audio standards
|
|
and this ioctl will report what the device thinks what the standard is.
|
|
Mismatches may give an indication where the problem is.
|
|
|
|
This ioctl is optional and not all drivers support it. It was introduced
|
|
in Linux 2.6.15.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
