|
- .. row 1
|
|
|
|
- ``EAGAIN`` (aka ``EWOULDBLOCK``)
|
|
|
|
- The ioctl can't be handled because the device is in state where it
|
|
can't perform it. This could happen for example in case where
|
|
device is sleeping and ioctl is performed to query statistics. It
|
|
is also returned when the ioctl would need to wait for an event,
|
|
but the device was opened in non-blocking mode.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 2
|
|
|
|
- ``EBADF``
|
|
|
|
- The file descriptor is not a valid.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 3
|
|
|
|
- ``EBUSY``
|
|
|
|
- The ioctl can't be handled because the device is busy. This is
|
|
typically return while device is streaming, and an ioctl tried to
|
|
change something that would affect the stream, or would require
|
|
the usage of a hardware resource that was already allocated. The
|
|
ioctl must not be retried without performing another action to fix
|
|
the problem first (typically: stop the stream before retrying).
|
|
|
|
- .. row 4
|
|
|
|
- ``EFAULT``
|
|
|
|
- There was a failure while copying data from/to userspace, probably
|
|
caused by an invalid pointer reference.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 5
|
|
|
|
- ``EINVAL``
|
|
|
|
- One or more of the ioctl parameters are invalid or out of the
|
|
allowed range. This is a widely used error code. See the
|
|
individual ioctl requests for specific causes.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 6
|
|
|
|
- ``ENODEV``
|
|
|
|
- Device not found or was removed.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 7
|
|
|
|
- ``ENOMEM``
|
|
|
|
- There's not enough memory to handle the desired operation.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 8
|
|
|
|
- ``ENOTTY``
|
|
|
|
- The ioctl is not supported by the driver, actually meaning that
|
|
the required functionality is not available, or the file
|
|
descriptor is not for a media device.
|
|
|
|
- .. row 9
|
|
|
|
- ``ENOSPC``
|
|
|
|
- On USB devices, the stream ioctl's can return this error, meaning
|
|
that this request would overcommit the usb bandwidth reserved for
|
|
periodic transfers (up to 80% of the USB bandwidth).
|
|
|
|
- .. row 10
|
|
|
|
- ``EPERM``
|
|
|
|
- Permission denied. Can be returned if the device needs write
|
|
permission, or some special capabilities is needed (e. g. root)
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
#. This list is not exaustive; ioctls may return other error codes.
|
|
Since errors may have side effects such as a driver reset,
|
|
applications should abort on unexpected errors, or otherwise
|
|
assume that the device is in a bad state.
|
|
|
|
#. Request-specific error codes are listed in the individual
|
|
requests descriptions.
