On success +the driver fills the ``entry`` array, stores the number of elements +written in the ``entries`` field, and initializes the ``entries_cap`` +field. + +Each element of the ``entry`` array contains meta data about one +picture. A :ref:`VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX ` call reads up to +``V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES`` entries from a driver buffer, which can hold up +to ``entries_cap`` entries. This number can be lower or higher than +``V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES``, but not zero. When the application fails to +read the meta data in time the oldest entries will be lost. When the +buffer is empty or no capturing/encoding is in progress, ``entries`` +will be zero. + +Currently this ioctl is only defined for MPEG-2 program streams and +video elementary streams. + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{3.8cm}|p{5.6cm}|p{8.1cm}| + +.. c:type:: v4l2_enc_idx + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_enc_idx + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 3 8 + + * - __u32 + - ``entries`` + - The number of entries the driver stored in the ``entry`` array. + * - __u32 + - ``entries_cap`` + - The number of entries the driver can buffer.
