This ioctl will fail only when there are no video outputs, returning the EINVAL error code. To select a video output applications store the number of the desired output in an integer and call the ``VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT`` ioctl with a pointer to this integer. Side effects are possible. For example outputs may support different video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch the current standard. standard. Because of these possible side effects applications must select an output before querying or negotiating any other parameters. Information about video outputs is available using the :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT ` ioctl. 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 ` chapter. EINVAL The number of the video output is out of bounds, or there are no video outputs at all. .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ..
