The driver fills the rest of the +structure or returns the ``EINVAL`` error code if cropping is not supported. + +To change the cropping rectangle applications initialize the ``type`` +and struct :c:type:`v4l2_rect` substructure named ``c`` of a +v4l2_crop structure and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` ioctl with a pointer +to this structure. + +The driver first adjusts the requested dimensions against hardware +limits, i. e. the bounds given by the capture/output window, and it +rounds to the closest possible values of horizontal and vertical offset, +width and height. In particular the driver must round the vertical +offset of the cropping rectangle to frame lines modulo two, such that +the field order cannot be confused. + +Second the driver adjusts the image size (the opposite rectangle of the +scaling process, source or target depending on the data direction) to +the closest size possible while maintaining the current horizontal and +vertical scaling factor. + +Finally the driver programs the hardware with the actual cropping and +image parameters. :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` is a write-only ioctl, it does not +return the actual parameters. To query them applications must call +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FMT`. When the +parameters are unsuitable the application may modify the cropping or +image parameters and repeat the cycle until satisfactory parameters have +been negotiated. + +When cropping is not supported then no parameters are changed and +:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` returns the ``EINVAL`` error code. + +.. c:type:: v4l2_crop + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.5cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_crop + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``type`` + - Type of the data stream, set by the application.
