25Arguments
26=========
27
28``fd``
29    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
30
31``argp``
32    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`.

35Description
36===========
37
38The selections are used to configure various image processing
39functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
40currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
41
42The selection API replaces
43:ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
44function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
45
46See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
47affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.

50Types of selection targets
51--------------------------
52
53There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
54targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
55will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
56
57
58Discovering supported features
59------------------------------
60
61To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
62``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will
63return ``EINVAL``.
64
65Selection targets and flags are documented in
66:ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.

100Return Value
101============
102
103On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
104appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
105:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
106
107EBUSY
108    The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
109    currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
110    stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
111    another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
112    ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``
113
114EINVAL
115    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`
116    ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``which`` field
117    references a non-existing format, or the selection target is not
118    supported on the given subdev pad.
