It is superseded by 42 :ref:`the selection API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION>`. 43 44To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the ``pad`` 45field of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop` to the 46desired pad number as reported by the media API and the ``which`` field 47to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``. They then call the 48``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The 49driver fills the members of the ``rect`` field or returns ``EINVAL`` error 50code if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping is not supported 51on the given pad. 52 53To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the ``pad`` 54and ``which`` fields and all members of the ``rect`` field. They then 55call the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this 56structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it 57based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon 58return the struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_crop` 59contains the current format as would be returned by a 60``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` call. 61 62Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the ``which`` 63to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``. When set, 'try' crop rectangles are not 64applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled exactly as active 65crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle. Two 66applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with 67each other. 68 69If the subdev device node has been registered in read-only mode, calls to 70``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` are only valid if the ``which`` field is set to 71``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``, otherwise an error is returned and the errno 72variable is set to ``-EPERM``. 73 74Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop 75rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead 76modify the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The 77modified format should be as close as possible to the original request. 78 79.. c:type:: v4l2_subdev_crop 80 81.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| 82 83.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_subdev_crop 84 :header-rows: 0 85 :stub-columns: 0 86 :widths: 1 1 2 87 88 * - __u32 89 - ``pad`` 90 - Pad number as reported by the media framework. 91 * - __u32 92 - ``which`` 93 - Crop rectangle to get or set, from enum 94 :ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`. 95 * - struct :c:type:`v4l2_rect` 96 - ``rect`` 97 - Crop rectangle boundaries, in pixels. 98 * - __u32 99 - ``reserved``\ [8] 100 - Reserved for future extensions.

The generic error codes are described at the 108:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. 109 110EBUSY 111 The crop rectangle can't be changed because the pad is currently 112 busy.
