Frame intervals only makes sense for sub-devices +that can control the frame period on their own. This includes, for +instance, image sensors and TV tuners. + +For the common use case of image sensors, the frame intervals available +on the sub-device output pad depend on the frame format and size on the +same pad. Applications must thus specify the desired format and size +when enumerating frame intervals. + +To enumerate frame intervals applications initialize the ``index``, +``pad``, ``which``, ``code``, ``width`` and ``height`` fields of struct +:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum` +and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL` ioctl with a pointer +to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an +EINVAL error code if one of the input fields is invalid. All frame +intervals are enumerable by beginning at index zero and incrementing by +one until ``EINVAL`` is returned. + +Available frame intervals may depend on the current 'try' formats at +other pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links. +See :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT` for more +information about the try formats. + +Sub-devices that support the frame interval enumeration ioctl should +implemented it on a single pad only. Its behaviour when supported on +multiple pads of the same sub-device is not defined. + +.. c:type:: v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``index`` + - Number of the format in the enumeration, set by the application. + * - __u32 + - ``pad`` + - Pad number as reported by the media controller API. + * - __u32 + - ``code`` + - The media bus format code, as defined in + :ref:`v4l2-mbus-format`. + * - __u32 + - ``width`` + - Frame width, in pixels. + * - __u32 + - ``height`` + - Frame height, in pixels. + * - struct :c:type:`v4l2_fract` + - ``interval`` + - Period, in seconds, between consecutive video frames. + * - __u32 + - ``which`` + - Frame intervals to be enumerated, from enum + :ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`. + * - __u32 + - ``reserved``\ [8] + - Reserved for future extensions.
