27Arguments
28=========
29
30``fd``
31    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
32
33``argp``
34    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`.

37Description
38===========
39
40These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
41The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.
42
43Drivers report their current routing tables using the
44``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
45with the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` ioctl, by adding or removing routes and
46setting or clearing flags of the  ``flags`` field of a
47struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.
48
49All stream configurations are reset when ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is called. This
50means that the userspace must reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl
51with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``.
52
53Only subdevices which have both sink and source pads can support routing.
54
55When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application
56provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
57the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
58value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
59for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again.

128Return Value
129============
130
131On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
132appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
133:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
134
135ENOSPC
136   The application provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain
137   all the available routes the subdevice exposes.
138
139EINVAL
140   The sink or source pad identifiers reference a non-existing pad, or reference
141   pads of different types (ie. the sink_pad identifiers refers to a source pad)
142   or the sink or source stream identifiers reference a non-existing stream on
143   the sink or source pad.
144
145E2BIG
146   The application provided ``num_routes`` for ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is
147   larger than the number of routes the driver can handle.
