56*4882a593Smuzhiyun
57*4882a593Smuzhiyun	   ``V4L2_EVENT_ALL`` can be used with
58*4882a593Smuzhiyun	   :ref:`VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT <VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT>` for
59*4882a593Smuzhiyun	   unsubscribing all events at once.

61*4882a593Smuzhiyun      - ``id``
62*4882a593Smuzhiyun      - ID of the event source. If there is no ID associated with the
63*4882a593Smuzhiyun	event source, then set this to 0. Whether or not an event needs an
64*4882a593Smuzhiyun	ID depends on the event type.

84*4882a593Smuzhiyun      - 0x0001
85*4882a593Smuzhiyun      - When this event is subscribed an initial event will be sent
86*4882a593Smuzhiyun	containing the current status. This only makes sense for events
87*4882a593Smuzhiyun	that are triggered by a status change such as ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL``.
88*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Other events will ignore this flag.
89*4882a593Smuzhiyun    * - ``V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK``
90*4882a593Smuzhiyun      - 0x0002
91*4882a593Smuzhiyun      - If set, then events directly caused by an ioctl will also be sent
92*4882a593Smuzhiyun	to the filehandle that called that ioctl. For example, changing a
93*4882a593Smuzhiyun	control using :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` will cause
94*4882a593Smuzhiyun	a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL to be sent back to that same filehandle.
95*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Normally such events are suppressed to prevent feedback loops
96*4882a593Smuzhiyun	where an application changes a control to a one value and then
97*4882a593Smuzhiyun	another, and then receives an event telling it that that control
98*4882a593Smuzhiyun	has changed to the first value.
99*4882a593Smuzhiyun
100*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Since it can't tell whether that event was caused by another
101*4882a593Smuzhiyun	application or by the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>`
102*4882a593Smuzhiyun	call it is hard to decide whether to set the control to the value
103*4882a593Smuzhiyun	in the event, or ignore it.
104*4882a593Smuzhiyun
105*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Think carefully when you set this flag so you won't get into
106*4882a593Smuzhiyun	situations like that.

108*4882a593SmuzhiyunReturn Value
109*4882a593Smuzhiyun============
110*4882a593Smuzhiyun
111*4882a593SmuzhiyunOn success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
112*4882a593Smuzhiyunappropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
113*4882a593Smuzhiyun:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
