<title>Description</title>
<para>The selections are used to configure various image
processing functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the
image size. This currently includes cropping, scaling and
composition.</para>
<para>The selection API replaces <link
linkend="vidioc-subdev-g-crop">the old subdev crop API</link>. All
the function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the
selections API.</para>
<para>See <xref linkend="subdev"></xref> for
more information on how each selection target affects the image
processing pipeline inside the subdevice.</para>
<refsect2>
<title>Types of selection targets</title>
<para>There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The
actual targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS
target will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual
rectangles.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Discovering supported features</title>
<para>To discover which targets are supported, the user can
perform <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION</constant> on them.
Any unsupported target will return
<constant>EINVAL</constant>.</para>
<para>Selection targets and flags are documented in <xref
linkend="v4l2-selections-common"/>.</para>

<para>The selection rectangle can't be changed because the
pad is currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by
an active video stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be
retried without performing another action to fix the problem
first. Only returned by
