:name: VIDIOC_OVERLAY
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
``argp``
Pointer to an integer.
Description
===========
This ioctl is part of the :ref:`video overlay <overlay>` I/O method.
Applications call :ref:`VIDIOC_OVERLAY` to start or stop the overlay. It
takes a pointer to an integer which must be set to zero by the
application to stop overlay, to one to start.
Drivers do not support :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` or
:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>` with
``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OVERLAY``.
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 <gen-errors>` chapter.
EINVAL
The overlay parameters have not been set up. See :ref:`overlay`
for the necessary steps.
