They then call the +MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure. + +If the ``pads`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``pads`` array +with information about the entity's pads. The array must have enough +room to store all the entity's pads. The number of pads can be retrieved +with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`. + +If the ``links`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``links`` array +with information about the entity's outbound links. The array must have +enough room to store all the entity's outbound links. The number of +outbound links can be retrieved with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`. + +Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are +returned during the enumeration process. + + +.. c:type:: media_links_enum + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct media_links_enum + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``entity`` + - Entity id, set by the application. + + * - struct :c:type:`media_pad_desc` + - \*\ ``pads`` + - Pointer to a pads array allocated by the application.
