To +query device information, applications call the ioctl with a pointer to +a struct :c:type:`media_device_info`. The driver +fills the structure and returns the information to the application. The +ioctl never fails. + +.. c:type:: media_device_info + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct media_device_info + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - char + - ``driver``\ [16] + - Name of the driver implementing the media API as a NUL-terminated + ASCII string.

This includes the bus type name (PCI, USB, ...) and a + bus-specific identifier. + + * - __u32 + - ``media_version`` + - Media API version, formatted with the ``KERNEL_VERSION()`` macro. + + * - __u32 + - ``hw_revision`` + - Hardware device revision in a driver-specific format. + + * - __u32 + - ``driver_version`` + - Media device driver version, formatted with the + ``KERNEL_VERSION()`` macro. Together with the ``driver`` field + this identifies a particular driver. + + * - __u32 + - ``reserved``\ [31] + - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set + this array to zero. + +The ``serial`` and ``bus_info`` fields can be used to distinguish +between multiple instances of otherwise identical hardware. The serial +number takes precedence when provided and can be assumed to be unique. +If the serial number is an empty string, the ``bus_info`` field can be +used instead. The ``bus_info`` field is guaranteed to be unique, but can +vary across reboots or device unplug/replug. + +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. |
