22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
27
28``argp``
29    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_input`.

31Description
32===========
33
34To query the attributes of a video input applications initialize the
35``index`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_input` and call the
36:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` with a pointer to this structure. Drivers
37fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the
38index is out of bounds. To enumerate all inputs applications shall begin
39at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.

50    * - __u32
51      - ``index``
52      - Identifies the input, set by the application.
53    * - __u8
54      - ``name``\ [32]
55      - Name of the video input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
56	example: "Vin (Composite 2)". This information is intended for the
57	user, preferably the connector label on the device itself.
58    * - __u32
59      - ``type``
60      - Type of the input, see :ref:`input-type`.
61    * - __u32
62      - ``audioset``
63      - Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio inputs. This field
64	shows which audio inputs were selectable as audio source if this
65	was the currently selected video input. It is a bit mask. The LSB
66	corresponds to audio input 0, the MSB to input 31. Any number of
67	bits can be set, or none.
68
69	When the driver does not enumerate audio inputs no bits must be
70	set. Applications shall not interpret this as lack of audio
71	support. Some drivers automatically select audio sources and do
72	not enumerate them since there is no choice anyway.
73
74	For details on audio inputs and how to select the current input
75	see :ref:`audio`.
76    * - __u32
77      - ``tuner``
78      - Capture devices can have zero or more tuners (RF demodulators).
79	When the ``type`` is set to ``V4L2_INPUT_TYPE_TUNER`` this is an
80	RF connector and this field identifies the tuner. It corresponds
81	to struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` field ``index``. For
82	details on tuners see :ref:`tuner`.
83    * - :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
84      - ``std``
85      - Every video input supports one or more different video standards.
86	This field is a set of all supported standards. For details on
87	video standards and how to switch see :ref:`standard`.
88    * - __u32
89      - ``status``
90      - This field provides status information about the input. See
91	:ref:`input-status` for flags. With the exception of the sensor
92	orientation bits ``status`` is only valid when this is the current
93	input.
94    * - __u32
95      - ``capabilities``
96      - This field provides capabilities for the input. See
97	:ref:`input-capabilities` for flags.
98    * - __u32
99      - ``reserved``\ [3]
100      - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to
101	zero.
