The driver 44fills the rest of the structure or returns an ``EINVAL`` error code when the 45``id`` is invalid. 46 47It is possible to enumerate controls by calling ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` 48with successive ``id`` values starting from ``V4L2_CID_BASE`` up to and 49exclusive ``V4L2_CID_LASTP1``. Drivers may return ``EINVAL`` if a control in 50this range is not supported. Further applications can enumerate private 51controls, which are not defined in this specification, by starting at 52``V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE`` and incrementing ``id`` until the driver 53returns ``EINVAL``. 54 55In both cases, when the driver sets the ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED`` flag 56in the ``flags`` field this control is permanently disabled and should 57be ignored by the application. [#f1]_ 58 59When the application ORs ``id`` with ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL`` the 60driver returns the next supported non-compound control, or ``EINVAL`` if 61there is none. In addition, the ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_COMPOUND`` flag 62can be specified to enumerate all compound controls (i.e. controls with 63type ≥ ``V4L2_CTRL_COMPOUND_TYPES`` and/or array control, in other words 64controls that contain more than one value). Specify both 65``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL`` and ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_COMPOUND`` in 66order to enumerate all controls, compound or not. Drivers which do not 67support these flags yet always return ``EINVAL``. 68 69The ``VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL`` ioctl was introduced in order to better 70support controls that can use compound types, and to expose additional 71control information that cannot be returned in struct 72:ref:`v4l2_queryctrl <v4l2-queryctrl>` since that structure is full. 73 74``VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL`` is used in the same way as 75``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL``, except that the ``reserved`` array must be zeroed 76as well. 77 78Additional information is required for menu controls: the names of the 79menu items. To query them applications set the ``id`` and ``index`` 80fields of struct :ref:`v4l2_querymenu <v4l2-querymenu>` and call the 81``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The driver 82fills the rest of the structure or returns an ``EINVAL`` error code when the 83``id`` or ``index`` is invalid. Menu items are enumerated by calling 84``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU`` with successive ``index`` values from struct 85:ref:`v4l2_queryctrl <v4l2-queryctrl>` ``minimum`` to ``maximum``, 86inclusive. 87 88.. note:: 89 90 It is possible for ``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU`` to return 91 an ``EINVAL`` error code for some indices between ``minimum`` and 92 ``maximum``. In that case that particular menu item is not supported by 93 this driver. Also note that the ``minimum`` value is not necessarily 0. 94 95See also the examples in :ref:`control`. 96 97.. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.2cm}|p{3.6cm}|p{12.7cm}| 98 99.. _v4l2-queryctrl: 100 101.. cssclass:: longtable 102 103.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_queryctrl 104 :header-rows: 0 105 :stub-columns: 0 106 :widths: 1 1 2 107 108 * - __u32 109 - ``id`` 110 - Identifies the control, set by the application.

The maximum value is the set of bits that can be 357 used, all other bits are to be 0.

The step size means that 380 the string must be (minimum + N * step) characters long for N ≥ 0. 381 These lengths do not include the terminating zero, so in order to 382 pass a string of length 8 to 383 :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` you need to 384 set the ``size`` field of struct 385 :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` to 9. For 386 :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` you can set 387 the ``size`` field to ``maximum`` + 1. Which character encoding is 388 used will depend on the string control itself and should be part 389 of the control documentation. 390 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS`` 391 - n/a 392 - n/a 393 - n/a 394 - This is not a control. When ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` is called with a 395 control ID equal to a control class code (see :ref:`ctrl-class`) 396 + 1, the ioctl returns the name of the control class and this 397 control type. Older drivers which do not support this feature 398 return an ``EINVAL`` error code. 399 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_U8`` 400 - any 401 - any 402 - any 403 - An unsigned 8-bit valued control ranging from minimum to maximum 404 inclusive.

Applications should update 514 their user interface accordingly. 515 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_INACTIVE`` 516 - 0x0010 517 - This control is not applicable to the current configuration and 518 should be displayed accordingly in a user interface. For example 519 the flag may be set on a MPEG audio level 2 bitrate control when 520 MPEG audio encoding level 1 was selected with another control. 521 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_SLIDER`` 522 - 0x0020 523 - A hint that this control is best represented as a slider-like 524 element in a user interface. 525 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_WRITE_ONLY`` 526 - 0x0040 527 - This control is permanently writable only. Any attempt to read the 528 control will result in an ``EACCES`` error code error code. This flag 529 is typically present for relative controls or action controls 530 where writing a value will cause the device to carry out a given 531 action (e. g. motor control) but no meaningful value can be 532 returned. 533 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_VOLATILE`` 534 - 0x0080 535 - This control is volatile, which means that the value of the 536 control changes continuously. A typical example would be the 537 current gain value if the device is in auto-gain mode. In such a 538 case the hardware calculates the gain value based on the lighting 539 conditions which can change over time. 540 541 .. note:: 542 543 Setting a new value for a volatile control will be ignored 544 unless 545 :ref:`V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE <FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE>` 546 is also set. 547 Setting a new value for a volatile control will *never* trigger a 548 :ref:`V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_VALUE <ctrl-changes-flags>` event. 549 * - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HAS_PAYLOAD`` 550 - 0x0100 551 - This control has a pointer type, so its value has to be accessed 552 using one of the pointer fields of struct 553 :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control`. This flag is set 554 for controls that are an array, string, or have a compound type. 555 In all cases you have to set a pointer to memory containing the 556 payload of the control. 557 * .. _FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE: 558 559 - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE`` 560 - 0x0200 561 - The value provided to the control will be propagated to the driver 562 even if it remains constant. This is required when the control 563 represents an action on the hardware. For example: clearing an 564 error flag or triggering the flash. All the controls of the type 565 ``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_BUTTON`` have this flag set. 566 * .. _FLAG_MODIFY_LAYOUT: 567 568 - ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_MODIFY_LAYOUT`` 569 - 0x0400 570 - Changing this control value may modify the layout of the 571 buffer (for video devices) or the media bus format (for sub-devices). 572 573 A typical example would be the ``V4L2_CID_ROTATE`` control. 574 575 Note that typically controls with this flag will also set the 576 ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_GRABBED`` flag when buffers are allocated or 577 streaming is in progress since most drivers do not support changing 578 the format in that case. 579 580Return Value 581============ 582 583On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set 584appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the 585:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. 586 587EINVAL 588 The struct :ref:`v4l2_queryctrl <v4l2-queryctrl>` ``id`` is 589 invalid. The struct :ref:`v4l2_querymenu <v4l2-querymenu>` ``id`` 590 is invalid or ``index`` is out of range (less than ``minimum`` or 591 greater than ``maximum``) or this particular menu item is not 592 supported by the driver. 593 594EACCES 595 An attempt was made to read a write-only control. 596 597.. [#f1] 598 ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED`` was intended for two purposes: Drivers 599 can skip predefined controls not supported by the hardware (although 600 returning ``EINVAL`` would do as well), or disable predefined and private 601 controls after hardware detection without the trouble of reordering 602 control arrays and indices (``EINVAL`` cannot be used to skip private 603 controls because it would prematurely end the enumeration). 604
