(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP, struct v4l2_subdev_crop *argp)¶
-
int
ioctl
(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP, const struct v4l2_subdev_crop *argp)¶

argp
- Pointer to struct
v4l2_subdev_crop
.
7.58.4. Description¶
Note
This is an Obsolete API Elements interface and may be removed in the future. It is superseded by the selection API.
To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the pad
field of a struct v4l2_subdev_crop
to the
desired pad number as reported by the media API and the which
field
to V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE
. They then call the
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP
ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The
driver fills the members of the rect
field or returns EINVAL
error
code if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping is not supported
on the given pad.
To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the pad
and which
fields and all members of the rect
field. They then
call the VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP
ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon
return the struct v4l2_subdev_crop
contains the current format as would be returned by a
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP
call.
Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the which
to V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY
. When set, 'try' crop rectangles are not
applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled exactly as active
crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle. Two
applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
each other.
Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format should be as close as possible to the original request.

v4l2_subdev_crop
¶
__u32 | pad |
Pad number as reported by the media framework. |
__u32 | which |
Crop rectangle to get or set, from enum v4l2_subdev_format_whence. |
struct v4l2_rect |
rect |
Crop rectangle boundaries, in pixels. |
__u32 | reserved [8] |
Reserved for future extensions. Applications and drivers must set the array to zero. |
7.58.5. Return Value¶
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the errno
variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
Generic Error Codes chapter.
- EBUSY
- The crop rectangle can't be changed because the pad is currently
busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video stream on
the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing another
action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP
- EINVAL
- The struct
v4l2_subdev_crop
pad
references a non-existing pad, thewhich
field references a non-existing format, or cropping is not supported on the given subdev pad.
