The driver fills the rest of the structure or returns an +EINVAL error code when the id is invalid. + +.. _media-ent-id-flag-next: + +Entities can be enumerated by or'ing the id with the +``MEDIA_ENT_ID_FLAG_NEXT`` flag. The driver will return information +about the entity with the smallest id strictly larger than the requested +one ('next entity'), or the ``EINVAL`` error code if there is none. + +Entity IDs can be non-contiguous. Applications must *not* try to +enumerate entities by calling MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES with increasing +id's until they get an error. + +.. c:type:: media_entity_desc + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.5cm}|p{1.7cm}|p{1.6cm}|p{1.5cm}|p{11.2cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct media_entity_desc + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 2 2 1 8 + + * - __u32 + - ``id`` + - + - Entity ID, set by the application.
