+MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS - Enumerate all pads and links for a given entity
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS, struct media_links_enum *argp )
+ :name: MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`media_links_enum`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set the
+entity field of a struct :c:type:`media_links_enum`
+structure and initialize the struct
+:c:type:`media_pad_desc` and struct
+:c:type:`media_link_desc` structure arrays pointed by
+the ``pads`` and ``links`` fields. They then call the
+MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
+
+If the ``pads`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``pads`` array
+with information about the entity's pads. The array must have enough
+room to store all the entity's pads. The number of pads can be retrieved
+with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
+
+If the ``links`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``links`` array
+with information about the entity's outbound links. The array must have
+enough room to store all the entity's outbound links. The number of
+outbound links can be retrieved with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
+
+Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
+returned during the enumeration process.

+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_links_enum` ``id``
+ references a non-existing entity.
