Name
====

VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING - Get or set routing between streams of media pads in a media entity.


Synopsis
========

.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING

``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING, struct v4l2_subdev_routing *argp)``

.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING

``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING, struct v4l2_subdev_routing *argp)``

Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`.


Description
===========

These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.

Drivers report their current routing tables using the
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
with the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` ioctl, by adding or removing routes and
setting or clearing flags of the  ``flags`` field of a
struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.

All stream configurations are reset when ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is called. This
means that the userspace must reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl
with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``.

Only subdevices which have both sink and source pads can support routing.

When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application
provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again.

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.

ENOSPC
   The application provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain
   all the available routes the subdevice exposes.

EINVAL
   The sink or source pad identifiers reference a non-existing pad, or reference
   pads of different types (ie. the sink_pad identifiers refers to a source pad)
   or the sink or source stream identifiers reference a non-existing stream on
   the sink or source pad.

E2BIG
   The application provided ``num_routes`` for ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is
   larger than the number of routes the driver can handle.
