fd: File descriptor returned by open().

4.7.4. Description¶

To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set the entity field of a struct media_links_enum structure and initialize the struct media_pad_desc and struct media_link_desc structure arrays pointed by the pads and links fields. They then call the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure.

If the pads field is not NULL, the driver fills the pads array with information about the entity’s pads. The array must have enough room to store all the entity’s pads. The number of pads can be retrieved with ioctl MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES.

If the links field is not NULL, the driver fills the links array with information about the entity’s outbound links. The array must have enough room to store all the entity’s outbound links. The number of outbound links can be retrieved with ioctl MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES.

Only forward links that originate at one of the entity’s source pads are returned during the enumeration process.

media_links_enum¶

struct media_links_enum¶
__u32	`entity`	Entity id, set by the application.
struct `media_pad_desc`	*`pads`	Pointer to a pads array allocated by the application. Ignored if NULL.
struct `media_link_desc`	*`links`	Pointer to a links array allocated by the application. Ignored if NULL.

media_pad_desc¶

struct media_pad_desc¶
__u32	`entity`	ID of the entity this pad belongs to.
__u16	`index`	0-based pad index.
__u32	`flags`	Pad flags, see Media pad flags for more details.

media_link_desc¶

struct media_link_desc¶
struct `media_pad_desc`	`source`	Pad at the origin of this link.
struct `media_pad_desc`	`sink`	Pad at the target of this link.
__u32	`flags`	Link flags, see Media link flags for more details.

4.7.5. 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 Generic Error Codes chapter.

EINVAL: The struct media_links_enum id references a non-existing entity.
