+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP, struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To query the capabilities of the DV receiver/transmitter applications
+initialize the ``pad`` field to 0, zero the reserved array of struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap` and call the
+``VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP`` ioctl on a video node and the driver will fill
+in the structure.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Drivers may return different values after
+ switching the video input or output.
+
+When implemented by the driver DV capabilities of subdevices can be
+queried by calling the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP`` ioctl directly
+on a subdevice node. The capabilities are specific to inputs (for DV
+receivers) or outputs (for DV transmitters), applications must specify
+the desired pad number in the struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap` ``pad`` field and
+zero the ``reserved`` array. Attempts to query capabilities on a pad
+that doesn't support them will return an ``EINVAL`` error code.

+ -

+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
