22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
27
28``argp``
29    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_output`.

31Description
32===========
33
34To query the attributes of a video outputs applications initialize the
35``index`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` and call
36the :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` with a pointer to this structure.
37Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code
38when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all outputs applications
39shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns
40``EINVAL``.

51    * - __u32
52      - ``index``
53      - Identifies the output, set by the application.
54    * - __u8
55      - ``name``\ [32]
56      - Name of the video output, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
57	example: "Vout". This information is intended for the user,
58	preferably the connector label on the device itself.
59    * - __u32
60      - ``type``
61      - Type of the output, see :ref:`output-type`.
62    * - __u32
63      - ``audioset``
64      - Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio outputs. This field
65	shows which audio outputs were selectable as the current output if
66	this was the currently selected video output. It is a bit mask.
67	The LSB corresponds to audio output 0, the MSB to output 31. Any
68	number of bits can be set, or none.
69
70	When the driver does not enumerate audio outputs no bits must be
71	set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio
72	support. Drivers may automatically select audio outputs without
73	enumerating them.
74
75	For details on audio outputs and how to select the current output
76	see :ref:`audio`.
77    * - __u32
78      - ``modulator``
79      - Output devices can have zero or more RF modulators. When the
80	``type`` is ``V4L2_OUTPUT_TYPE_MODULATOR`` this is an RF connector
81	and this field identifies the modulator. It corresponds to struct
82	:c:type:`v4l2_modulator` field ``index``. For
83	details on modulators see :ref:`tuner`.
84    * - :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
85      - ``std``
86      - Every video output supports one or more different video standards.
87	This field is a set of all supported standards. For details on
88	video standards and how to switch see :ref:`standard`.
89    * - __u32
90      - ``capabilities``
91      - This field provides capabilities for the output. See
92	:ref:`output-capabilities` for flags.
93    * - __u32
94      - ``reserved``\ [3]
95      - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to
96	zero.

113      - Any non-modulator video output, for example Composite Video,
114	S-Video, HDMI. The naming as ``_TYPE_ANALOG`` is historical,
115	today we would have called it ``_TYPE_VIDEO``.
116    * - ``V4L2_OUTPUT_TYPE_ANALOGVGAOVERLAY``

139      - 0x00000008

144Return Value
145============
146
147On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
148appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
149:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
150
151EINVAL
152    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` ``index`` is out of
153    bounds.
