ioctl VIDIOC_ENUMSTD, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUMSTD
*******************************************

Name
====

VIDIOC_ENUMSTD - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUMSTD - Enumerate supported video standards

Synopsis
========

.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_ENUMSTD

``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_ENUMSTD, struct v4l2_standard *argp)``

.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUMSTD

``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUMSTD, struct v4l2_standard *argp)``

Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_standard`.

Description
===========

To query the attributes of a video standard, especially a custom (driver
defined) one, applications initialize the ``index`` field of struct
:c:type:`v4l2_standard` and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMSTD`
ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the
structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the index is out of
bounds. To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index
zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``. Drivers may
enumerate a different set of standards after switching the video input
or output. [#f1]_

    :header-rows:  0

    * - __u32
      - ``index``
      - Number of the video standard, set by the application.
    * - :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
      - ``id``
      - The bits in this field identify the standard as one of the common
	standards listed in :ref:`v4l2-std-id`, or if bits 32 to 63 are
	set as custom standards. Multiple bits can be set if the hardware
	does not distinguish between these standards, however separate
	indices do not indicate the opposite. The ``id`` must be unique.
	No other enumerated struct :c:type:`v4l2_standard` structure,
	for this input or output anyway, can contain the same set of bits.
    * - __u8
      - ``name``\ [24]
      - Name of the standard, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for example:
	"PAL-B/G", "NTSC Japan". This information is intended for the
	user.
    * - struct :c:type:`v4l2_fract`
      - ``frameperiod``
      - The frame period (not field period) is numerator / denominator.
	For example M/NTSC has a frame period of 1001 / 30000 seconds.
    * - __u32
      - ``framelines``
      - Total lines per frame including blanking, e. g. 625 for B/PAL.
    * - __u32
      - ``reserved``\ [4]
      - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set the array to
	zero.

	significant bits are reserved for custom (driver defined) video
	standards.

Return Value
============

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

EINVAL
    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_standard` ``index`` is out
    of bounds.

ENODATA
    Standard video timings are not supported for this input or output.

.. [#f1]
   The supported standards may overlap and we need an unambiguous set to
   find the current standard returned by :ref:`VIDIOC_G_STD <VIDIOC_G_STD>`.

.. [#f2]
   Japan uses a standard similar to M/NTSC (V4L2_STD_NTSC_M_JP).

.. [#f3]
   The values in brackets apply to the combination N/PAL a.k.a.
   N\ :sub:`C` used in Argentina (V4L2_STD_PAL_Nc).

.. [#f4]
   In the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands,
   Slovakia and Switzerland a system of two sound carriers is used, the
   frequency of the second carrier being 242.1875 kHz above the
   frequency of the first sound carrier. For stereophonic sound
   transmissions a similar system is used in Australia.

.. [#f5]
   New Zealand uses a sound carrier displaced 5.4996 ± 0.0005 MHz from
   the vision carrier.

.. [#f6]
   In Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden and Spain a system of two
   sound carriers is used. In Iceland, Norway and Poland the same system
   is being introduced. The second carrier is 5.85 MHz above the vision
   carrier and is DQPSK modulated with 728 kbit/s sound and data
   multiplex. (NICAM system)

.. [#f7]
   In the United Kingdom, a system of two sound carriers is used. The
   second sound carrier is 6.552 MHz above the vision carrier and is
   DQPSK modulated with a 728 kbit/s sound and data multiplex able to
   carry two sound channels. (NICAM system)

.. [#f8]
   In France, a digital carrier 5.85 MHz away from the vision carrier
   may be used in addition to the main sound carrier. It is modulated in
   differentially encoded QPSK with a 728 kbit/s sound and data
   multiplexer capable of carrying two sound channels. (NICAM system)
