void v4l_bound_align_image(unsigned int *width, unsigned int wmin, unsigned int wmax, unsigned int walign, unsigned int *height, unsigned int hmin, unsigned int hmax, unsigned int halign, unsigned int salign)¶: adjust video dimensions according to a given constraints.

Parameters

unsigned int *width: pointer to width that will be adjusted if needed.
unsigned int wmin: minimum width.
unsigned int wmax: maximum width.
unsigned int walign: least significant bit on width.
unsigned int *height: pointer to height that will be adjusted if needed.
unsigned int hmin: minimum height.
unsigned int hmax: maximum height.
unsigned int halign: least significant bit on height.
unsigned int salign: least significant bit for the image size (e. g. $width * height$ ).

Description

Clip an image to have width between wmin and wmax, and height between hmin and hmax, inclusive.

Additionally, the width will be a multiple of $2^{walign}$ , the height will be a multiple of $2^{halign}$ , and the overall size $width * height$ will be a multiple of $2^{salign}$ .

Note

The clipping rectangle may be shrunk or enlarged to fit the alignment constraints.
wmax must not be smaller than wmin.
hmax must not be smaller than hmin.
The alignments must not be so high there are no possible image sizes within the allowed bounds.
wmin and hmin must be at least 1 (don’t use 0).
For walign, halign and salign, if you don’t care about a certain alignment, specify 0, as $2^0 = 1$ and one byte alignment is equivalent to no alignment.
If you only want to adjust downward, specify a maximum that’s the same as the initial value.

v4l2_find_nearest_size¶

v4l2_find_nearest_size (array, array_size, width_field, height_field, width, height)

Find the nearest size among a discrete set of resolutions contained in an array of a driver specific struct.

Description

Finds the closest resolution to minimize the width and height differences between what requested and the supported resolutions. The size of the width and height fields in the driver specific must equal to that of u32, i.e. four bytes.

Returns the best match or NULL if the length of the array is zero.

const char *v4l2_norm_to_name(v4l2_std_id id)¶: Ancillary routine to analog TV standard name from its ID.

Parameters

v4l2_std_id id: analog TV standard ID.

Return

returns a string with the name of the analog TV standard. If the standard is not found or if id points to multiple standard, it returns “Unknown”.

void v4l2_video_std_frame_period(int id, struct v4l2_fract *frameperiod)¶: Ancillary routine that fills a struct v4l2_fract pointer with the default framerate fraction.

Parameters

int id: analog TV standard ID.
struct v4l2_fract *frameperiod: struct v4l2_fract pointer to be filled

int v4l2_video_std_construct(struct v4l2_standard *vs, int id, const char *name)¶: Ancillary routine that fills in the fields of a v4l2_standard structure according to the id parameter.

Parameters

struct v4l2_standard *vs: struct v4l2_standard pointer to be filled
int id: analog TV standard ID.
const char *name: name of the standard to be used

Description

Note

Parameters

const char *prefix: prefix to be added at the ioctl prints.
unsigned int cmd: ioctl name

Description

Note

If prefix != NULL, then it will issue a printk(KERN_DEBUG "``s: “, prefix)`` first.

void *arg: Ioctl argument.

long int video_usercopy(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long int arg, v4l2_kioctl func)¶: copies data from/to userspace memory when an ioctl is issued.

Parameters

struct file *file: Pointer to struct file.
unsigned int cmd: Ioctl name.
unsigned long int arg: Ioctl argument.
v4l2_kioctl func: function that will handle the ioctl

Description
