31Description
32===========
33
34To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set the
35entity field of a struct :c:type:`media_links_enum`
36structure and initialize the struct
37:c:type:`media_pad_desc` and struct
38:c:type:`media_link_desc` structure arrays pointed by
39the ``pads`` and ``links`` fields. They then call the
40MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
41
42If the ``pads`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``pads`` array
43with information about the entity's pads. The array must have enough
44room to store all the entity's pads. The number of pads can be retrieved
45with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
46
47If the ``links`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``links`` array
48with information about the entity's outbound links. The array must have
49enough room to store all the entity's outbound links. The number of
50outbound links can be retrieved with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
51
52Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
53returned during the enumeration process.

166============
167
168On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set

171
172EINVAL
173    The struct :c:type:`media_links_enum` ``id``
174    references a non-existing entity.
