32``argp``
33    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_jpegcompression`.

35Description
36===========
37
38These ioctls are **deprecated**. New drivers and applications should use
39:ref:`JPEG class controls <jpeg-controls>` for image quality and JPEG
40markers control.

42[to do]
43
44Ronald Bultje elaborates:
45
46APP is some application-specific information. The application can set it
47itself, and it'll be stored in the JPEG-encoded fields (eg; interlacing
48information for in an AVI or so). COM is the same, but it's comments,
49like 'encoded by me' or so.
50
51jpeg_markers describes whether the huffman tables, quantization tables
52and the restart interval information (all JPEG-specific stuff) should be
53stored in the JPEG-encoded fields. These define how the JPEG field is
54encoded. If you omit them, applications assume you've used standard
55encoding. You usually do want to add them.

119Return Value
120============
121
122On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
123appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
124:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
