+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp )
+    :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp )
+    :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The selections are used to configure various image processing
+functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
+currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
+
+The selection API replaces
+:ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
+function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
+
+See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
+affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
+
+
+Types of selection targets
+--------------------------
+
+There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
+targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
+will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
+
+
+Discovering supported features
+------------------------------
+
+To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will
+return ``EINVAL``.
+
+Selection targets and flags are documented in
+:ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.

+    * - __u32

+
+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.
+
+EBUSY
+    The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
+    currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
+    stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
+    another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
+    ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``
+
+EINVAL
+    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`
+    ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``which`` field
+    references a non-existing format, or the selection target is not
+    supported on the given subdev pad.
