values and pointers to be passed.</para>

<para>Since the &v4l2-ext-control; supports pointers it is now
|
||||
also possible to have controls with compound types such as N-dimensional arrays
|
||||
and/or structures. You need to specify the <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_COMPOUND</constant>
|
||||
when enumerating controls to actually be able to see such compound controls.
|
||||
In other words, these controls with compound types should only be used
|
||||
programmatically.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Since such compound controls need to expose more information
|
||||
about themselves than is possible with &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; the
|
||||
&VIDIOC-QUERY-EXT-CTRL; ioctl was added. In particular, this ioctl gives
|
||||
the dimensions of the N-dimensional array if this control consists of more than
|
||||
one element.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of
|
||||
controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set
|
||||
actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values
|
||||
is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to
|
||||
check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu
|
||||
indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant>
|
||||
may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will
|
||||
return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG audio
|
||||
bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others
|
||||
support a wider range.</para>

is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; (or &VIDIOC-QUERY-EXT-CTRL;) and

&VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to check this. Also note that it is possible

that some of the menu indices in a control of type

All controls use machine endianness.
