They +then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to that +structure. + +The only configurable property is the ``ENABLED`` link flag to +enable/disable a link. Links marked with the ``IMMUTABLE`` link flag can +not be enabled or disabled. + +Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled link +at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver returns +with an ``EBUSY`` error code. + +Only links marked with the ``DYNAMIC`` link flag can be enabled/disabled +while streaming media data. Attempting to enable or disable a streaming +non-dynamic link will return an ``EBUSY`` error code. + +If the specified link can't be found the driver returns with an ``EINVAL`` +error code. + + +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 struct :c:type:`media_link_desc` references a + non-existing link, or the link is immutable and an attempt to modify + its configuration was made. |
