Control IDs are grouped into control classes (see 44:ref:`ctrl-class`) and all controls in the control array must belong 45to the same control class. 46 47Applications must always fill in the ``count``, ``which``, ``controls`` 48and ``reserved`` fields of struct 49:c:type:`v4l2_ext_controls`, and initialize the 50struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` array pointed to 51by the ``controls`` fields. 52 53To get the current value of a set of controls applications initialize 54the ``id``, ``size`` and ``reserved2`` fields of each struct 55:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` and call the 56:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctl. String controls must also set the 57``string`` field. Controls of compound types 58(``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HAS_PAYLOAD`` is set) must set the ``ptr`` field. 59 60If the ``size`` is too small to receive the control result (only 61relevant for pointer-type controls like strings), then the driver will 62set ``size`` to a valid value and return an ``ENOSPC`` error code. You 63should re-allocate the memory to this new size and try again. For the 64string type it is possible that the same issue occurs again if the 65string has grown in the meantime. It is recommended to call 66:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` first and use 67``maximum``\ +1 as the new ``size`` value. It is guaranteed that that is 68sufficient memory. 69 70N-dimensional arrays are set and retrieved row-by-row. You cannot set a 71partial array, all elements have to be set or retrieved. The total size 72is calculated as ``elems`` * ``elem_size``. These values can be obtained 73by calling :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>`. 74 75To change the value of a set of controls applications initialize the 76``id``, ``size``, ``reserved2`` and ``value/value64/string/ptr`` fields 77of each struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` and call 78the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctl. The controls will only be set if *all* 79control values are valid. 80 81To check if a set of controls have correct values applications 82initialize the ``id``, ``size``, ``reserved2`` and 83``value/value64/string/ptr`` fields of each struct 84:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` and call the 85:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctl. It is up to the driver whether wrong 86values are automatically adjusted to a valid value or if an error is 87returned. 88 89When the ``id`` or ``which`` is invalid drivers return an ``EINVAL`` error 90code. When the value is out of bounds drivers can choose to take the 91closest valid value or return an ``ERANGE`` error code, whatever seems more 92appropriate. In the first case the new value is set in struct 93:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control`. If the new control value 94is inappropriate (e.g. the given menu index is not supported by the menu 95control), then this will also result in an ``EINVAL`` error code error. 96 97If ``request_fd`` is set to a not-yet-queued :ref:`request <media-request-api>` 98file descriptor and ``which`` is set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``, 99then the controls are not applied immediately when calling 100:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, but instead are applied by 101the driver for the buffer associated with the same request. 102If the device does not support requests, then ``EACCES`` will be returned. 103If requests are supported but an invalid request file descriptor is given, 104then ``EINVAL`` will be returned. 105 106An attempt to call :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` for a 107request that has already been queued will result in an ``EBUSY`` error. 108 109If ``request_fd`` is specified and ``which`` is set to 110``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL`` during a call to 111:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, then it will return the 112values of the controls at the time of request completion. 113If the request is not yet completed, then this will result in an 114``EACCES`` error. 115 116The driver will only set/get these controls if all control values are 117correct. This prevents the situation where only some of the controls 118were set/get. Only low-level errors (e. g. a failed i2c command) can 119still cause this situation. 120 121.. tabularcolumns:: |p{6.8cm}|p{4.0cm}|p{6.5cm}| 122 123.. c:type:: v4l2_ext_control 124 125.. raw:: latex 126 127 \footnotesize 128 129.. cssclass:: longtable 130 131.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_ext_control 132 :header-rows: 0 133 :stub-columns: 0 134 :widths: 1 1 2 135 136 * - __u32 137 - ``id`` 138 - Identifies the control, set by the application. 139 * - __u32 140 - ``size`` 141 - The total size in bytes of the payload of this control. 142 * - :cspan:`2` The ``size`` field is normally 0, but for pointer 143 controls this should be set to the size of the memory that contains 144 the payload or that will receive the payload. 145 If :ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` finds that this value 146 is less than is required to store the payload result, then it is set 147 to a value large enough to store the payload result and ``ENOSPC`` is 148 returned. 149 150 .. note:: 151 152 For string controls, this ``size`` field should 153 not be confused with the length of the string.

In that case all controls have to 348 belong to that control class. This usage is deprecated, instead 349 just use ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_CUR_VAL``. There are some very old 350 drivers that do not yet support ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_CUR_VAL`` and 351 that require a control class here. You can test for such drivers 352 by setting ``which`` to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_CUR_VAL`` and calling 353 :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` with a count of 0. 354 If that fails, then the driver does not support ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_CUR_VAL``. 355 * - __u32 356 - ``ctrl_class`` 357 - Deprecated name kept for backwards compatibility.

May also be zero. 363 * - __u32 364 - ``error_idx`` 365 - Index of the failing control. Set by the driver in case of an error. 366 * - :cspan:`2` If the error is associated 367 with a particular control, then ``error_idx`` is set to the index 368 of that control. If the error is not related to a specific 369 control, or the validation step failed (see below), then 370 ``error_idx`` is set to ``count``. The value is undefined if the 371 ioctl returned 0 (success). 372 373 Before controls are read from/written to hardware a validation 374 step takes place: this checks if all controls in the list are 375 valid controls, if no attempt is made to write to a read-only 376 control or read from a write-only control, and any other up-front 377 checks that can be done without accessing the hardware. The exact 378 validations done during this step are driver dependent since some 379 checks might require hardware access for some devices, thus making 380 it impossible to do those checks up-front. However, drivers should 381 make a best-effort to do as many up-front checks as possible. 382 383 This check is done to avoid leaving the hardware in an 384 inconsistent state due to easy-to-avoid problems. But it leads to 385 another problem: the application needs to know whether an error 386 came from the validation step (meaning that the hardware was not 387 touched) or from an error during the actual reading from/writing 388 to hardware. 389 390 The, in hindsight quite poor, solution for that is to set 391 ``error_idx`` to ``count`` if the validation failed. This has the 392 unfortunate side-effect that it is not possible to see which 393 control failed the validation. If the validation was successful 394 and the error happened while accessing the hardware, then 395 ``error_idx`` is less than ``count`` and only the controls up to 396 ``error_idx-1`` were read or written correctly, and the state of 397 the remaining controls is undefined. 398 399 Since :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` does not access hardware there is 400 also no need to handle the validation step in this special way, so 401 ``error_idx`` will just be set to the control that failed the 402 validation step instead of to ``count``. This means that if 403 :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` fails with ``error_idx`` set to ``count``, 404 then you can call :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` to try to discover the 405 actual control that failed the validation step.

The generic error codes are described at the 497:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. 498 499EINVAL 500 The struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` ``id`` is 501 invalid, or the struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_controls` 502 ``which`` is invalid, or the struct 503 :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` ``value`` was 504 inappropriate (e.g. the given menu index is not supported by the 505 driver), or the ``which`` field was set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL`` 506 but the given ``request_fd`` was invalid or ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL`` 507 is not supported by the kernel. 508 This error code is also returned by the 509 :ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctls if two or 510 more control values are in conflict. 511 512ERANGE 513 The struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` ``value`` 514 is out of bounds. 515 516EBUSY 517 The control is temporarily not changeable, possibly because another 518 applications took over control of the device function this control 519 belongs to, or (if the ``which`` field was set to 520 ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL``) the request was queued but not yet 521 completed. 522 523ENOSPC 524 The space reserved for the control's payload is insufficient. The 525 field ``size`` is set to a value that is enough to store the payload 526 and this error code is returned. 527 528EACCES 529 Attempt to try or set a read-only control, or to get a write-only 530 control, or to get a control from a request that has not yet been 531 completed. 532 533 Or the ``which`` field was set to ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL`` but the 534 device does not support requests. 535 536 Or if there is an attempt to set an inactive control and the driver is 537 not capable of caching the new value until the control is active again. 538
