    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To query the attributes of a video standard,
especially a custom (driver defined) one, applications initialize the
<structfield>index</structfield> field of &v4l2-standard; and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_ENUMSTD</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
&EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all standards
applications shall begin  at index zero, incrementing by one until the
driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>. Drivers may enumerate a
different set of standards after switching the video input or
output.<footnote>
	<para>The supported standards may overlap and we need an
unambiguous set to find the current standard returned by
<constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant>.</para>
