22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
27
28``argp``
29    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_size_enum`.

32Description
33===========
34
35This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame sizes supported by
36a sub-device on the given pad for the given media bus format. Supported
37formats can be retrieved with the
38:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE`
39ioctl.
40
41To enumerate frame sizes applications initialize the ``pad``, ``which``
42, ``code`` and ``index`` fields of the struct
43:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum` and
44call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE` ioctl with a pointer to the
45structure. Drivers fill the minimum and maximum frame sizes or return an
46EINVAL error code if one of the input parameters is invalid.
47
48Sub-devices that only support discrete frame sizes (such as most
49sensors) will return one or more frame sizes with identical minimum and
50maximum values.
51
52Not all possible sizes in given [minimum, maximum] ranges need to be
53supported. For instance, a scaler that uses a fixed-point scaling ratio
54might not be able to produce every frame size between the minimum and
55maximum values. Applications must use the
56:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT>` ioctl to try the
57sub-device for an exact supported frame size.
58
59Available frame sizes may depend on the current 'try' formats at other
60pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links and the
61current values of V4L2 controls. See
62:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT` for more
63information about try formats.

107Return Value
108============
109
110On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
111appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
112:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
113
114EINVAL
115    The struct
116    :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_size_enum`
117    ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``code`` is invalid for
118    the given pad or the ``index`` field is out of bounds.
