+
+ <para>For the common use case of image sensors, the frame intervals

+ <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a pointer
+ to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return
+ an &EINVAL; if one of the input fields is invalid. All frame intervals are
+ enumerable by beginning at index zero and incrementing by one until
+ <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> is returned.</para>
+
+ <para>Available frame intervals may depend on the current 'try' formats
