27*4882a593Smuzhiyun=========
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun``fd``
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun``argp``
33*4882a593Smuzhiyun    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_control`.
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun
35*4882a593SmuzhiyunDescription
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun===========
37*4882a593Smuzhiyun
38*4882a593SmuzhiyunTo get the current value of a control applications initialize the ``id``
39*4882a593Smuzhiyunfield of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` and call the
40*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. To change the
41*4882a593Smuzhiyunvalue of a control applications initialize the ``id`` and ``value``
42*4882a593Smuzhiyunfields of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` and call the
43*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctl.
44*4882a593Smuzhiyun
45*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhen the ``id`` is invalid drivers return an ``EINVAL`` error code. When the
46*4882a593Smuzhiyun``value`` is out of bounds drivers can choose to take the closest valid
47*4882a593Smuzhiyunvalue or return an ``ERANGE`` error code, whatever seems more appropriate.
48*4882a593SmuzhiyunHowever, :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the
49*4882a593Smuzhiyunactual new value. If the ``value`` is inappropriate for the control
50*4882a593Smuzhiyun(e.g. if it refers to an unsupported menu index of a menu control), then
51*4882a593SmuzhiyunEINVAL error code is returned as well.
52*4882a593Smuzhiyun
53*4882a593SmuzhiyunThese ioctls work only with user controls. For other control classes the
54*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`,
55*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` or
56*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` must be used.

74*4882a593SmuzhiyunReturn Value
75*4882a593Smuzhiyun============
76*4882a593Smuzhiyun
77*4882a593SmuzhiyunOn success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
78*4882a593Smuzhiyunappropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
79*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
80*4882a593Smuzhiyun
81*4882a593SmuzhiyunEINVAL
82*4882a593Smuzhiyun    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` ``id`` is invalid
83*4882a593Smuzhiyun    or the ``value`` is inappropriate for the given control (i.e. if a
84*4882a593Smuzhiyun    menu item is selected that is not supported by the driver according
85*4882a593Smuzhiyun    to :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYMENU <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>`).
86*4882a593Smuzhiyun
87*4882a593SmuzhiyunERANGE
88*4882a593Smuzhiyun    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_control` ``value`` is out of
89*4882a593Smuzhiyun    bounds.
90*4882a593Smuzhiyun
91*4882a593SmuzhiyunEBUSY
92*4882a593Smuzhiyun    The control is temporarily not changeable, possibly because another
93*4882a593Smuzhiyun    applications took over control of the device function this control
94*4882a593Smuzhiyun    belongs to.
95*4882a593Smuzhiyun
96*4882a593SmuzhiyunEACCES
97*4882a593Smuzhiyun    Attempt to set a read-only control or to get a write-only control.
