31
32``fd``
33    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.

35``argp``
36    Pointer to struct :c:type:`media_links_enum`.

39Description
40===========
41
42To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set the
43entity field of a struct :c:type:`media_links_enum`
44structure and initialize the struct
45:c:type:`media_pad_desc` and struct
46:c:type:`media_link_desc` structure arrays pointed by
47the ``pads`` and ``links`` fields. They then call the
48MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
49
50If the ``pads`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``pads`` array
51with information about the entity's pads. The array must have enough
52room to store all the entity's pads. The number of pads can be retrieved
53with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
54
55If the ``links`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``links`` array
56with information about the entity's outbound links. The array must have
57enough room to store all the entity's outbound links. The number of
58outbound links can be retrieved with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
59
60Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
61returned during the enumeration process.

149============
150
151On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
152appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
153:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
154
155EINVAL
156    The struct :c:type:`media_links_enum` ``id``
157    references a non-existing entity.
