V4L/DVB (12761): DocBook: add media API specs
The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now,
no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook.
This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium.

However, +it turned out to be a very useful model for implementing more +complicated driver APIs where each driver implements only a subset of +a larger API.</para> + + <para>The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind +designing and implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG +standard is quite large and the currently supported hardware MPEG +encoders each only implement a subset of this standard. Further more, +many parameters relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG +stream are specific to the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard +only defines the format of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the +video is actually encoded into that format.</para> + + <para>Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some +features needed for these new uses and so it was extended into the +(not terribly originally named) extended control API.</para> + + <para>Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort +to use the Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes +of Extended Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls. +The Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are +described in the following text.</para> + </section> + + <section> + <title>The Extended Control API</title> + + <para>Three new ioctls are available: &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, +&VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; and &VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS;. These ioctls act on +arrays of controls (as opposed to the &VIDIOC-G-CTRL; and +&VIDIOC-S-CTRL; ioctls that act on a single control). This is needed +since it is often required to atomically change several controls at +once.</para> + + <para>Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a +&v4l2-ext-controls;. This structure contains a pointer to the control +array, a count of the number of controls in that array and a control +class. Control classes are used to group similar controls into a +single class. For example, control class +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER</constant> contains all user controls +(&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old +<constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl). Control class +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG</constant> contains all controls +relating to MPEG encoding, etc.</para> + + <para>All controls in the control array must belong to the +specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the +case.</para> + + <para>It is also possible to use an empty control array (count +== 0) to check whether the specified control class is +supported.</para> + + <para>The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The +<structname>v4l2_ext_control</structname> structure is very similar to +&v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit +values and pointers to be passed.</para> + + <para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of +controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set +actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values +is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to +check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu +indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant> +may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will +return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG audio +bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others +support a wider range.</para> + </section> + + <section> + <title>Enumerating Extended Controls</title> + + <para>The recommended way to enumerate over the extended +controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag:</para> + + <informalexample> + <programlisting> +&v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl; + +qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; +while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) { + /* ... */ + qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; +} +</programlisting> + </informalexample> + + <para>The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag.

The remaining 28 bits form the control ID, of +which the most significant 12 bits define the control class and the +least significant 16 bits identify the control within the control +class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always non-zero +for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for +driver-specific controls. The macro +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)</constant> returns the control class +ID based on a control ID.</para> + + <para>If the driver does not support extended controls, then +<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will fail when used in +combination with <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>.
