20``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE, struct v4l2_subdev_frame_size_enum * argp)``
21
22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
27
28``argp``
29    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_size_enum`.

31Description
32===========
33
34This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame sizes supported by
35a sub-device on the given pad for the given media bus format. Supported
36formats can be retrieved with the
37:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE`
38ioctl.
39
40To enumerate frame sizes applications initialize the ``pad``, ``which``
41, ``code`` and ``index`` fields of the struct
42:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum` and
43call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE` ioctl with a pointer to the
44structure. Drivers fill the minimum and maximum frame sizes or return an
45EINVAL error code if one of the input parameters is invalid.
46
47Sub-devices that only support discrete frame sizes (such as most
48sensors) will return one or more frame sizes with identical minimum and
49maximum values.
50
51Not all possible sizes in given [minimum, maximum] ranges need to be
52supported. For instance, a scaler that uses a fixed-point scaling ratio
53might not be able to produce every frame size between the minimum and
54maximum values. Applications must use the
55:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT>` ioctl to try the
56sub-device for an exact supported frame size.
57
58Available frame sizes may depend on the current 'try' formats at other
59pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links and the
60current values of V4L2 controls. See
61:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT` for more
62information about try formats.

104Return Value
105============
106
107On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
108appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
109:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
110
111EINVAL
112    The struct
113    :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_size_enum`
114    ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``code`` is invalid for
115    the given pad or the ``index`` field is out of bounds.
