+VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES - Enumerate frame sizes
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES, struct v4l2_frmsizeenum *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_frmsizeenum`
+ that contains an index and pixel format and receives a frame width
+ and height.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame sizes (i. e. width
+and height in pixels) that the device supports for the given pixel
+format.
+
+The supported pixel formats can be obtained by using the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` function.
+
+The return value and the content of the ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type`` field
+depend on the type of frame sizes the device supports. Here are the
+semantics of the function for the different cases:
+
+- **Discrete:** The function returns success if the given index value
+ (zero-based) is valid. The application should increase the index by
+ one for each call until ``EINVAL`` is returned. The
+ ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type`` field is set to
+ ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_DISCRETE`` by the driver. Of the union only the
+ ``discrete`` member is valid.
+
+- **Step-wise:** The function returns success if the given index value
+ is zero and ``EINVAL`` for any other index value. The
+ ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type`` field is set to
+ ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_STEPWISE`` by the driver. Of the union only the
+ ``stepwise`` member is valid.
+
+- **Continuous:** This is a special case of the step-wise type above.
+ The function returns success if the given index value is zero and
+ ``EINVAL`` for any other index value. The ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type``
+ field is set to ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_CONTINUOUS`` by the driver. Of
+ the union only the ``stepwise`` member is valid and the
+ ``step_width`` and ``step_height`` values are set to 1.
+
+When the application calls the function with index zero, it must check
+the ``type`` field to determine the type of frame size enumeration the
+device supports. Only for the ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_DISCRETE`` type does
+it make sense to increase the index value to receive more frame sizes.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The order in which the frame sizes are returned has no special
+ meaning. In particular does it not say anything about potential default
+ format sizes.
+
+Applications can assume that the enumeration data does not change
+without any interaction from the application itself. This means that the
+enumeration data is consistent if the application does not perform any
+other ioctl calls while it runs the frame size enumeration.
+
+Structs
+=======
+
+In the structs below, *IN* denotes a value that has to be filled in by
+the application, *OUT* denotes values that the driver fills in. The
+application should zero out all members except for the *IN* fields.
