This ioctl will fail +only when there are no video inputs, returning ``EINVAL``. + +To select a video input applications store the number of the desired +input in an integer and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` ioctl with a pointer +to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example inputs may +support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch +the current standard. Because of these possible side effects +applications must select an input before querying or negotiating any +other parameters. + +Information about video inputs is available using the +:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` ioctl. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. + +EINVAL + The number of the video input is out of bounds. |
