DMX_EXPBUF - Export a buffer as a DMABUF file descriptor.
|

Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, DMX_EXPBUF, struct dmx_exportbuffer *argp )
|
|
:name: DMX_EXPBUF
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <dmx_fopen>`.
|
|
|
|
``argp``
|
|
Pointer to struct :c:type:`dmx_exportbuffer`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
This ioctl is an extension to the memory mapping I/O method.
|
|
It can be used to export a buffer as a DMABUF file at any time after
|
|
buffers have been allocated with the :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` ioctl.
|
|
|
|
To export a buffer, applications fill struct :c:type:`dmx_exportbuffer`.
|
|
Applications must set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers
|
|
range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS`
|
|
(struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus one.
|
|
Additional flags may be posted in the ``flags`` field. Refer to a manual
|
|
for open() for details. Currently only O_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY,
|
|
and O_RDWR are supported.
|
|
All other fields must be set to zero. In the
|
|
case of multi-planar API, every plane is exported separately using
|
|
multiple :ref:`DMX_EXPBUF` calls.
|
|
|
|
After calling :ref:`DMX_EXPBUF` the ``fd`` field will be set by a
|
|
driver, on success. This is a DMABUF file descriptor. The application may
|
|
pass it to other DMABUF-aware devices. It is recommended to close a DMABUF
|
|
file when it is no longer used to allow the associated memory to be reclaimed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
int buffer_export(int v4lfd, enum dmx_buf_type bt, int index, int *dmafd)
|
|
{
|
|
struct dmx_exportbuffer expbuf;
|
|
|
|
memset(&expbuf, 0, sizeof(expbuf));
|
|
expbuf.type = bt;
|
|
expbuf.index = index;
|
|
if (ioctl(v4lfd, DMX_EXPBUF, &expbuf) == -1) {
|
|
perror("DMX_EXPBUF");
|
|
return -1;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
*dmafd = expbuf.fd;
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
A queue is not in MMAP mode or DMABUF exporting is not supported or
|
|
``flags`` or ``index`` fields are invalid.
