VIDIOC_G_CTRL - VIDIOC_S_CTRL - Get or set the value of a control

Synopsis

|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
|
|
|
|
``argp``
|
|
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_control`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
To get the current value of a control applications initialize the ``id``
|
|
field of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` and call the
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. To change the
|
|
value of a control applications initialize the ``id`` and ``value``
|
|
fields of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` and call the
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctl.
|
|
|
|
When the ``id`` is invalid drivers return an ``EINVAL`` error code. When the
|
|
``value`` is out of bounds drivers can choose to take the closest valid
|
|
value or return an ``ERANGE`` error code, whatever seems more appropriate.
|
|
However, :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the
|
|
actual new value. If the ``value`` is inappropriate for the control
|
|
(e.g. if it refers to an unsupported menu index of a menu control), then
|
|
EINVAL error code is returned as well.
|
|
|
|
These ioctls work only with user controls. For other control classes the
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`,
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` or
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` must be used.

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_control` ``id`` is invalid
|
|
or the ``value`` is inappropriate for the given control (i.e. if a
|
|
menu item is selected that is not supported by the driver according
|
|
to :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYMENU <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>`).
|
|
|
|
ERANGE
|
|
The struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` ``value`` is out of
|
|
bounds.
|
|
|
|
EBUSY
|
|
The control is temporarily not changeable, possibly because another
|
|
applications took over control of the device function this control
|
|
belongs to.
|
|
|
|
EACCES
|
|
Attempt to set a read-only control or to get a write-only control.
