33``fd``

39Description
40===========
41
42These ioctls allow the caller to get or set multiple controls
43atomically. Control IDs are grouped into control classes (see
44:ref:`ctrl-class`) and all controls in the control array must belong
45to the same control class.
46
47Applications must always fill in the ``count``, ``which``, ``controls``
48and ``reserved`` fields of struct
49:c:type:`v4l2_ext_controls`, and initialize the
50struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` array pointed to
51by the ``controls`` fields.
52
53To get the current value of a set of controls applications initialize
54the ``id``, ``size`` and ``reserved2`` fields of each struct
55:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` and call the
56:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctl. String controls must also set the
57``string`` field. Controls of compound types
58(``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HAS_PAYLOAD`` is set) must set the ``ptr`` field.
59
60If the ``size`` is too small to receive the control result (only
61relevant for pointer-type controls like strings), then the driver will
62set ``size`` to a valid value and return an ``ENOSPC`` error code. You
63should re-allocate the memory to this new size and try again. For the
64string type it is possible that the same issue occurs again if the
65string has grown in the meantime. It is recommended to call
66:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` first and use
67``maximum``\ +1 as the new ``size`` value. It is guaranteed that that is
68sufficient memory.
69
70N-dimensional arrays are set and retrieved row-by-row. You cannot set a
71partial array, all elements have to be set or retrieved. The total size
72is calculated as ``elems`` * ``elem_size``. These values can be obtained
73by calling :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>`.
74
75To change the value of a set of controls applications initialize the
76``id``, ``size``, ``reserved2`` and ``value/value64/string/ptr`` fields
77of each struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` and call
78the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctl. The controls will only be set if *all*
79control values are valid.
80
81To check if a set of controls have correct values applications
82initialize the ``id``, ``size``, ``reserved2`` and
83``value/value64/string/ptr`` fields of each struct
84:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` and call the
85:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctl. It is up to the driver whether wrong
86values are automatically adjusted to a valid value or if an error is
87returned.
88
89When the ``id`` or ``which`` is invalid drivers return an ``EINVAL`` error
90code. When the value is out of bounds drivers can choose to take the
91closest valid value or return an ``ERANGE`` error code, whatever seems more
92appropriate. In the first case the new value is set in struct
93:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control`. If the new control value
94is inappropriate (e.g. the given menu index is not supported by the menu
95control), then this will also result in an ``EINVAL`` error code error.
96
97If ``request_fd`` is set to a not-yet-queued :ref:`request <media-request-api>`
98file descriptor and ``which`` is set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``,
99then the controls are not applied immediately when calling
100:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, but instead are applied by
101the driver for the buffer associated with the same request.
102If the device does not support requests, then ``EACCES`` will be returned.
103If requests are supported but an invalid request file descriptor is given,
104then ``EINVAL`` will be returned.
105
106An attempt to call :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` for a
107request that has already been queued will result in an ``EBUSY`` error.
108
109If ``request_fd`` is specified and ``which`` is set to
110``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL`` during a call to
111:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, then it will return the
112values of the controls at the time of request completion.
113If the request is not yet completed, then this will result in an
114``EACCES`` error.
115
116The driver will only set/get these controls if all control values are
117correct. This prevents the situation where only some of the controls
118were set/get. Only low-level errors (e. g. a failed i2c command) can
119still cause this situation.

343	with a particular control, then ``error_idx`` is set to the index
344	of that control. If the error is not related to a specific
345	control, or the validation step failed (see below), then
346	``error_idx`` is set to ``count``. The value is undefined if the
347	ioctl returned 0 (success).
348
349	Before controls are read from/written to hardware a validation
350	step takes place: this checks if all controls in the list are
351	valid controls, if no attempt is made to write to a read-only
352	control or read from a write-only control, and any other up-front
353	checks that can be done without accessing the hardware. The exact
354	validations done during this step are driver dependent since some
355	checks might require hardware access for some devices, thus making
356	it impossible to do those checks up-front. However, drivers should
357	make a best-effort to do as many up-front checks as possible.
358
359	This check is done to avoid leaving the hardware in an
360	inconsistent state due to easy-to-avoid problems. But it leads to
361	another problem: the application needs to know whether an error
362	came from the validation step (meaning that the hardware was not
363	touched) or from an error during the actual reading from/writing
364	to hardware.
365
366	The, in hindsight quite poor, solution for that is to set
367	``error_idx`` to ``count`` if the validation failed. This has the
368	unfortunate side-effect that it is not possible to see which
369	control failed the validation. If the validation was successful
370	and the error happened while accessing the hardware, then
371	``error_idx`` is less than ``count`` and only the controls up to
372	``error_idx-1`` were read or written correctly, and the state of
373	the remaining controls is undefined.
374
375	Since :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` does not access hardware there is
376	also no need to handle the validation step in this special way, so
377	``error_idx`` will just be set to the control that failed the
378	validation step instead of to ``count``. This means that if
379	:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` fails with ``error_idx`` set to ``count``,
380	then you can call :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` to try to discover the
381	actual control that failed the validation step. Unfortunately,
382	there is no ``TRY`` equivalent for :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`.
383    * - __s32

385      - File descriptor of the request to be used by this operation. Only
386	valid if ``which`` is set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``.
387	If the device does not support requests, then ``EACCES`` will be returned.

468Return Value
469============
470
471On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
472appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
473:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
474
475EINVAL
476    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` ``id`` is
477    invalid, or the struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_controls`
478    ``which`` is invalid, or the struct
479    :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` ``value`` was
480    inappropriate (e.g. the given menu index is not supported by the
481    driver), or the ``which`` field was set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``
482    but the given ``request_fd`` was invalid or ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``
483    is not supported by the kernel.
484    This error code is also returned by the
485    :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctls if two or
486    more control values are in conflict.
487
488ERANGE
489    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` ``value``
490    is out of bounds.
491
492EBUSY
493    The control is temporarily not changeable, possibly because another
494    applications took over control of the device function this control
495    belongs to, or (if the ``which`` field was set to
496    ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``) the request was queued but not yet
497    completed.
498
499ENOSPC
500    The space reserved for the control's payload is insufficient. The
501    field ``size`` is set to a value that is enough to store the payload
502    and this error code is returned.
503
504EACCES
505    Attempt to try or set a read-only control, or to get a write-only
506    control, or to get a control from a request that has not yet been
507    completed.
508
509    Or the ``which`` field was set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL`` but the
510    device does not support requests.
511
512    Or if there is an attempt to set an inactive control and the driver is
513    not capable of caching the new value until the control is active again.
