Here are the +semantics of the function for the different cases: + +- **Discrete:** The function returns success if the given index value + (zero-based) is valid. The application should increase the index by + one for each call until ``EINVAL`` is returned. The + ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type`` field is set to + ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_DISCRETE`` by the driver. Of the union only the + ``discrete`` member is valid. + +- **Step-wise:** The function returns success if the given index value + is zero and ``EINVAL`` for any other index value. The + ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type`` field is set to + ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_STEPWISE`` by the driver. Of the union only the + ``stepwise`` member is valid. + +- **Continuous:** This is a special case of the step-wise type above. + The function returns success if the given index value is zero and + ``EINVAL`` for any other index value. The ``v4l2_frmsizeenum.type`` + field is set to ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_CONTINUOUS`` by the driver. Of + the union only the ``stepwise`` member is valid and the + ``step_width`` and ``step_height`` values are set to 1. + +When the application calls the function with index zero, it must check +the ``type`` field to determine the type of frame size enumeration the +device supports. Only for the ``V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_DISCRETE`` type does +it make sense to increase the index value to receive more frame sizes. + +.. note:: + + The order in which the frame sizes are returned has no special + meaning. In particular does it not say anything about potential default + format sizes. + +Applications can assume that the enumeration data does not change +without any interaction from the application itself. This means that the +enumeration data is consistent if the application does not perform any +other ioctl calls while it runs the frame size enumeration. + + +Structs +======= + +In the structs below, *IN* denotes a value that has to be filled in by +the application, *OUT* denotes values that the driver fills in.
