interface and may change in the future.</para>
</note>
<para>This ioctl lets applications enumerate available frame intervals on a
given sub-device pad. Frame intervals only makes sense for sub-devices that
can control the frame period on their own. This includes, for instance,
image sensors and TV tuners.</para>
<para>For the common use case of image sensors, the frame intervals
available on the sub-device output pad depend on the frame format and size
on the same pad. Applications must thus specify the desired format and size
when enumerating frame intervals.</para>
<para>To enumerate frame intervals applications initialize the
<structfield>index</structfield>, <structfield>pad</structfield>,
<structfield>code</structfield>, <structfield>width</structfield> and
<structfield>height</structfield> fields of
&v4l2-subdev-frame-interval-enum; and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return
an &EINVAL; if one of the input fields is invalid. All frame intervals are
enumerable by beginning at index zero and incrementing by one until
<errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> is returned.</para>
<para>Available frame intervals may depend on the current 'try' formats
at other pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links. See
&VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-FMT; for more information about the try formats.</para>
<para>Sub-devices that support the frame interval enumeration ioctl should
implemented it on a single pad only. Its behaviour when supported on
multiple pads of the same sub-device is not defined.</para>
