-Synopsis
-========
-
-.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES, struct media_entity_desc *argp )
- :name: MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES
-
-
-Arguments
-=========
-
-``fd``
- File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
-
-``argp``
- Pointer to struct :c:type:`media_entity_desc`.
-
-
-Description
-===========
-
-To query the attributes of an entity, applications set the id field of a
-struct :c:type:`media_entity_desc` structure and
-call the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES ioctl with a pointer to this
-structure. The driver fills the rest of the structure or returns an
-EINVAL error code when the id is invalid.
-
-.. _media-ent-id-flag-next:
-
-Entities can be enumerated by or'ing the id with the
-``MEDIA_ENT_ID_FLAG_NEXT`` flag. The driver will return information
-about the entity with the smallest id strictly larger than the requested
-one ('next entity'), or the ``EINVAL`` error code if there is none.
-
-Entity IDs can be non-contiguous. Applications must *not* try to
-enumerate entities by calling MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES with increasing
-id's until they get an error.

- * - __u32
- - ``id``
- -
- - Entity ID, set by the application. When the ID is or'ed with
- ``MEDIA_ENT_ID_FLAG_NEXT``, the driver clears the flag and returns
- the first entity with a larger ID. Do not expect that the ID will
- always be the same for each instance of the device. In other words,
- do not hardcode entity IDs in an application.
-
- * - char
- - ``name``\ [32]
- -
- - Entity name as an UTF-8 NULL-terminated string. This name must be unique
- within the media topology.
-
- * - __u32
- - ``type``
- -
- - Entity type, see :ref:`media-entity-functions` for details.
-
- * - __u32
- - ``revision``
- -
- - Entity revision. Always zero (obsolete)
-
- * - __u32
- - ``flags``
- -
- - Entity flags, see :ref:`media-entity-flag` for details.
-
- * - __u32
- - ``group_id``
- -
- - Entity group ID. Always zero (obsolete)
-
- * - __u16
- - ``pads``
- -
- - Number of pads
-
- * - __u16
- - ``links``
- -
- - Total number of outbound links. Inbound links are not counted in
- this field.
-
- * - __u32
- - ``reserved[4]``
- -
- - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
- the array to zero.
-
- * - union {
- - (anonymous)
-
- * - struct
- - ``dev``
- -
- - Valid for (sub-)devices that create a single device node.
-
- * -
- - __u32
- - ``major``
- - Device node major number.
-
- * -
- - __u32
- - ``minor``
- - Device node minor number.

-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 struct :c:type:`media_entity_desc` ``id``
- references a non-existing entity.
