Description
To get the current value of a control applications
initialize the id field of a struct
v4l2_control and call the
VIDIOC_G_CTRL ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. To change the value of a control applications initialize
the id and value
fields of a struct v4l2_control and call the
VIDIOC_S_CTRL ioctl.
When the id is invalid drivers
return an &EINVAL;. When the value is out
of bounds drivers can choose to take the closest valid value or return
an &ERANGE;, whatever seems more appropriate. However,
VIDIOC_S_CTRL is a write-only ioctl, it does not
return the actual new value.
These ioctls work only with user controls. For other
control classes the &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; or
&VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS; must be used.
struct v4l2_control
&cs-str;
__u32
id
Identifies the control, set by the
application.
__s32
value
New value or current value.
&return-value;
EINVAL
The &v4l2-control; id is
invalid.
ERANGE
The &v4l2-control; value
is out of bounds.
EBUSY
The control is temporarily not changeable, possibly
because another applications took over control of the device function
this control belongs to.
EACCES
Attempt to set a read-only control or to get a
write-only control.
