+VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL - Enumerate frame intervals
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL, struct v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum * argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl lets applications enumerate available frame intervals on a
+given sub-device pad. 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.

+ * - __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. Applications and drivers must set
+ the array to zero.
+
+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
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EINVAL
+ The struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum`
+ ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, one of the ``code``,
+ ``width`` or ``height`` fields are invalid for the given pad or the
+ ``index`` field is out of bounds.
