Description
Subscribe or unsubscribe V4L2 event. Subscribed events are
dequeued by using the &VIDIOC-DQEVENT; ioctl.
struct v4l2_event_subscription
&cs-str;
__u32
type
Type of the event.
__u32
id
ID of the event source. If there is no ID associated with
the event source, then set this to 0. Whether or not an event
needs an ID depends on the event type.
__u32
flags
Event flags, see .
__u32
reserved[5]
Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications
must set the array to zero.
Event Types
&cs-def;
V4L2_EVENT_ALL
0
All events. V4L2_EVENT_ALL is valid only for
VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT for unsubscribing all events at once.
V4L2_EVENT_VSYNC
1
This event is triggered on the vertical sync.
This event has &v4l2-event-vsync; associated with it.
V4L2_EVENT_EOS
2
This event is triggered when the end of a stream is reached.
This is typically used with MPEG decoders to report to the application
when the last of the MPEG stream has been decoded.
V4L2_EVENT_CTRL
3
This event requires that the id
matches the control ID from which you want to receive events.
This event is triggered if the control's value changes, if a
button control is pressed or if the control's flags change.
This event has &v4l2-event-ctrl; associated with it. This struct
contains much of the same information as &v4l2-queryctrl; and
&v4l2-control;.
If the event is generated due to a call to &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or
&VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS;, then the event will not be sent to
the file handle that called the ioctl function. This prevents
nasty feedback loops.
V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START
0x08000000
Base event number for driver-private events.
Event Flags
&cs-def;
V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_SEND_INITIAL
0x0001
When this event is subscribed an initial event will be sent
containing the current status. This only makes sense for events
that are triggered by a status change. Other events will ignore
this flag.
struct v4l2_event_vsync
&cs-str;
__u8
field
The upcoming field. See &v4l2-field;.
struct v4l2_event_ctrl
&cs-str;
__u32
changes
A bitmask that tells what has changed. See .
__u32
type
The type of the control. See &v4l2-ctrl-type;.
union (anonymous)
__s32
value
The 32-bit value of the control for 32-bit control types.
This is 0 for string controls since the value of a string
cannot be passed using &VIDIOC-DQEVENT;.
__s64
value64
The 64-bit value of the control for 64-bit control types.
__u32
flags
The control flags. See .
__s32
minimum
The minimum value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
__s32
maximum
The maximum value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
__s32
step
The step value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
__s32
default_value
The default value value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
Changes
&cs-def;
V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_VALUE
0x0001
This control event was triggered because the value of the control
changed. Special case: if a button control is pressed, then this
event is sent as well, even though there is not explicit value
associated with a button control.
V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_FLAGS
0x0002
This control event was triggered because the control flags
changed.
