+VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD - VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD - Execute an decoder command

+Synopsis

+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD, struct v4l2_decoder_cmd *argp)``
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD, struct v4l2_decoder_cmd *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+    pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_decoder_cmd`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These ioctls control an audio/video (usually MPEG-) decoder.
+``VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD`` sends a command to the decoder,
+``VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD`` can be used to try a command without actually
+executing it. To send a command applications must initialize all fields
+of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_decoder_cmd` and call
+``VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD`` or ``VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD`` with a pointer to
+this structure.
+
+The ``cmd`` field must contain the command code. Some commands use the
+``flags`` field for additional information.
+
+A :c:func:`write()` or :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`
+call sends an implicit START command to the decoder if it has not been
+started yet. Applies to both queues of mem2mem decoders.
+
+A :c:func:`close()` or :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`
+call of a streaming file descriptor sends an implicit immediate STOP
+command to the decoder, and all buffered data is discarded. Applies to both
+queues of mem2mem decoders.
+
+In principle, these ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support them. They were
+introduced in Linux 3.3. They are, however, mandatory for stateful mem2mem decoders
+(as further documented in :ref:`decoder`).

+      - Playback speed and direction. The playback speed is defined as
+	``speed``/1000 of the normal speed. So 1000 is normal playback.
+	Negative numbers denote reverse playback, so -1000 does reverse
+	playback at normal speed. Speeds -1, 0 and 1 have special
+	meanings: speed 0 is shorthand for 1000 (normal playback). A speed
+	of 1 steps just one frame forward, a speed of -1 steps just one
+	frame back.
+    * -
+      - __u32
+      - ``format``
+      - Format restrictions. This field is set by the driver, not the
+	application. Possible values are ``V4L2_DEC_START_FMT_NONE`` if
+	there are no format restrictions or ``V4L2_DEC_START_FMT_GOP`` if
+	the decoder operates on full GOPs (*Group Of Pictures*). This is
+	usually the case for reverse playback: the decoder needs full
+	GOPs, which it can then play in reverse order. So to implement
+	reverse playback the application must feed the decoder the last
+	GOP in the video file, then the GOP before that, etc. etc.

+      - Stop playback at this ``pts`` or immediately if the playback is
+	already past that timestamp. Leave to 0 if you want to stop after
+	the last frame was decoded.

+
+    * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START``
+      - 0
+      - Start the decoder. When the decoder is already running or paused,
+	this command will just change the playback speed. That means that
+	calling ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START`` when the decoder was paused will
+	*not* resume the decoder. You have to explicitly call
+	``V4L2_DEC_CMD_RESUME`` for that. This command has one flag:
+	``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START_MUTE_AUDIO``. If set, then audio will be
+	muted when playing back at a non-standard speed.
+
+	For a device implementing the :ref:`decoder`, once the drain sequence
+	is initiated with the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP`` command, it must be driven
+	to completion before this command can be invoked.  Any attempt to
+	invoke the command while the drain sequence is in progress will trigger
+	an ``EBUSY`` error code.  The command may be also used to restart the
+	decoder in case of an implicit stop initiated by the decoder itself,
+	without the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP`` being called explicitly. See
+	:ref:`decoder` for more details.
+    * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP``
+      - 1
+      - Stop the decoder. When the decoder is already stopped, this
+	command does nothing. This command has two flags: if
+	``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_TO_BLACK`` is set, then the decoder will set
+	the picture to black after it stopped decoding. Otherwise the last
+	image will repeat. If
+	``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_IMMEDIATELY`` is set, then the decoder stops
+	immediately (ignoring the ``pts`` value), otherwise it will keep
+	decoding until timestamp >= pts or until the last of the pending
+	data from its internal buffers was decoded.
+
+	For a device implementing the :ref:`decoder`, the command will initiate
+	the drain sequence as documented in :ref:`decoder`.  No flags or other
+	arguments are accepted in this case. Any attempt to invoke the command
+	again before the sequence completes will trigger an ``EBUSY`` error
+	code.
+    * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_PAUSE``
+      - 2
+      - Pause the decoder. When the decoder has not been started yet, the
+	driver will return an ``EPERM`` error code. When the decoder is
+	already paused, this command does nothing. This command has one
+	flag: if ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_PAUSE_TO_BLACK`` is set, then set the
+	decoder output to black when paused.
+    * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_RESUME``
+      - 3
+      - Resume decoding after a PAUSE command. When the decoder has not
+	been started yet, the driver will return an ``EPERM`` error code. When
+	the decoder is already running, this command does nothing. No
+	flags are defined for this command.
+    * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH``
+      - 4
+      - Flush any held capture buffers. Only valid for stateless decoders.
+	This command is typically used when the application reached the
+	end of the stream and the last output buffer had the
+	``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag set. This would prevent
+	dequeueing the capture buffer containing the last decoded frame.
+	So this command can be used to explicitly flush that final decoded
+	frame. This command does nothing if there are no held capture buffers.
+
+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
+    A drain sequence of a device implementing the :ref:`decoder` is still in
+    progress. It is not allowed to issue another decoder command until it
+    completes.
+
+EINVAL
+    The ``cmd`` field is invalid.
+
+EPERM
+    The application sent a PAUSE or RESUME command when the decoder was
+    not running.
