The ``type`` field is +set to the same buffer type as was previously used with struct +:c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``type``. +Applications must also set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers +range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with +:ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` (struct +:c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus +one. For the multi-planar API, applications set the ``plane`` field to +the index of the plane to be exported. Valid planes range from zero to +the maximal number of valid planes for the currently active format. For +the single-planar API, applications must set ``plane`` to zero. +Additional flags may be posted in the ``flags`` field. Refer to a manual +for open() for details. Currently only O_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, +and O_RDWR are supported. All other fields must be set to zero. In the +case of multi-planar API, every plane is exported separately using +multiple :ref:`VIDIOC_EXPBUF` calls. + +After calling :ref:`VIDIOC_EXPBUF` the ``fd`` field will be set by a +driver. This is a DMABUF file descriptor. The application may pass it to +other DMABUF-aware devices. Refer to :ref:`DMABUF importing ` +for details about importing DMABUF files into V4L2 nodes. It is +recommended to close a DMABUF file when it is no longer used to allow +the associated memory to be reclaimed. + +Examples +======== + +.. code-block:: c + + int buffer_export(int v4lfd, enum v4l2_buf_type bt, int index, int *dmafd) + { + struct v4l2_exportbuffer expbuf; + + memset(&expbuf, 0, sizeof(expbuf)); + expbuf.type = bt; + expbuf.index = index; + if (ioctl(v4lfd, VIDIOC_EXPBUF, &expbuf) == -1) { + perror("VIDIOC_EXPBUF"); + return -1; + } + + *dmafd = expbuf.fd; + + return 0; + } + +.. code-block:: c + + int buffer_export_mp(int v4lfd, enum v4l2_buf_type bt, int index, + int dmafd[], int n_planes) + { + int i; + + for (i = 0; i < n_planes; ++i) { + struct v4l2_exportbuffer expbuf; + + memset(&expbuf, 0, sizeof(expbuf)); + expbuf.type = bt; + expbuf.index = index; + expbuf.plane = i; + if (ioctl(v4lfd, VIDIOC_EXPBUF, &expbuf) == -1) { + perror("VIDIOC_EXPBUF"); + while (i) + close(dmafd[--i]); + return -1; + } + dmafd[i] = expbuf.fd; + } + + return 0; + } + +.. c:type:: v4l2_exportbuffer + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.5cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_exportbuffer + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``type`` + - Type of the buffer, same as struct + :c:type:`v4l2_format` ``type`` or struct + :c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``type``, set + by the application.
