32Arguments
33=========
34
35``fd``
36    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
37
38``argp``
39    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_enum_dv_timings`.

42Description
43===========
44
45While some DV receivers or transmitters support a wide range of timings,
46others support only a limited number of timings. With this ioctl
47applications can enumerate a list of known supported timings. Call
48:ref:`VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP` to check if it
49also supports other standards or even custom timings that are not in
50this list.
51
52To query the available timings, applications initialize the ``index``
53field, set the ``pad`` field to 0, zero the reserved array of struct
54:c:type:`v4l2_enum_dv_timings` and call the
55``VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS`` ioctl on a video node with a pointer to this
56structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL``
57error code when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all supported
58DV timings, applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one
59until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.
60
61.. note::
62
63   Drivers may enumerate a different set of DV timings after
64   switching the video input or output.
65
66When implemented by the driver DV timings of subdevices can be queried
67by calling the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS`` ioctl directly on a
68subdevice node. The DV timings are specific to inputs (for DV receivers)
69or outputs (for DV transmitters), applications must specify the desired
70pad number in the struct
71:c:type:`v4l2_enum_dv_timings` ``pad`` field.
72Attempts to enumerate timings on a pad that doesn't support them will
73return an ``EINVAL`` error code.

90      - Pad number as reported by the media controller API. This field is
91	only used when operating on a subdevice node. When operating on a
92	video node applications must set this field to zero.

95      - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
96	the array to zero.

99      - The timings.

102Return Value
103============
104
105On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
106appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
107:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
108
109EINVAL
110    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_enum_dv_timings`
111    ``index`` is out of bounds or the ``pad`` number is invalid.
112
113ENODATA
114    Digital video presets are not supported for this input or output.
