26Arguments
27=========
28
29``fd``
30    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
31
32``argp``
33    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap`.
34
35Description
36===========
37
38To query the capabilities of the DV receiver/transmitter applications
39initialize the ``pad`` field to 0, zero the reserved array of struct
40:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap` and call the
41``VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP`` ioctl on a video node and the driver will fill
42in the structure.
43
44.. note::
45
46   Drivers may return different values after
47   switching the video input or output.
48
49When implemented by the driver DV capabilities of subdevices can be
50queried by calling the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP`` ioctl directly
51on a subdevice node. The capabilities are specific to inputs (for DV
52receivers) or outputs (for DV transmitters), applications must specify
53the desired pad number in the struct
54:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings_cap` ``pad`` field and
55zero the ``reserved`` array. Attempts to query capabilities on a pad
56that doesn't support them will return an ``EINVAL`` error code.

144      - Interlaced formats are supported.
145    * - ``V4L2_DV_BT_CAP_PROGRESSIVE``
146      - Progressive formats are supported.
147    * - ``V4L2_DV_BT_CAP_REDUCED_BLANKING``
148      - CVT/GTF specific: the timings can make use of reduced blanking
149	(CVT) or the 'Secondary GTF' curve (GTF).
150    * - ``V4L2_DV_BT_CAP_CUSTOM``
151      - Can support non-standard timings, i.e. timings not belonging to
152	the standards set in the ``standards`` field.

154Return Value
155============
156
157On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
158appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
159:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
