[PATCH 1/1] v4l: uAPI doc: Changing frame interval won't change format

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Document that changing the frame interval has no effect on frame size.
While this was the assumption in the API, it was not documented as such.

 Further these ioctls can be used to determine the number of buffers used
 internally by a driver in read/write mode. For implications see the
 section discussing the :ref:`read() <func-read>` function.

 Sub-devices that support the frame interval ioctls should implement them
 on a single pad only. Their behaviour when supported on multiple pads of
 the same sub-device is not defined.
