``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_DQEVENT, struct v4l2_event *argp)``

|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
|
|
|
|
``argp``
|
|
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_event`.
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Dequeue an event from a video device. No input is required for this
|
|
ioctl. All the fields of the struct :c:type:`v4l2_event`
|
|
structure are filled by the driver. The file handle will also receive
|
|
exceptions which the application may get by e.g. using the select system
|
|
call.

- Event data for event V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE.
|
|
* - __u8
|
|
- ``data``\ [64]
|
|
- Event data. Defined by the event type. The union should be used to
|
|
define easily accessible type for events.

|
|
* - __u32
|
|
- ``pending``
|
|
- Number of pending events excluding this one.
|
|
* - __u32
|
|
- ``sequence``
|
|
- Event sequence number. The sequence number is incremented for
|
|
every subscribed event that takes place. If sequence numbers are
|
|
not contiguous it means that events have been lost.
|
|
* - struct timespec
|
|
- ``timestamp``
|
|
- Event timestamp. The timestamp has been taken from the

|
``CLOCK_MONOTONIC`` clock. To access the same clock outside V4L2,
|
|
use :c:func:`clock_gettime`.
|
|
* - u32
|
|
- ``id``
|
|
- The ID associated with the event source. If the event does not
|
|
have an associated ID (this depends on the event type), then this
|
|
is 0.
|
|
* - __u32
|
|
- ``reserved``\ [8]

:widths: 3 1 4
|
|
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_ALL``
|
|
- 0
|
|
- All events. V4L2_EVENT_ALL is valid only for
|
|
VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT for unsubscribing all events at once.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_VSYNC``
|
|
- 1
|
|
- This event is triggered on the vertical sync. This event has a
|
|
struct :c:type:`v4l2_event_vsync` associated
|
|
with it.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS``
|
|
- 2
|
|
- This event is triggered when the end of a stream is reached. This
|
|
is typically used with MPEG decoders to report to the application
|
|
when the last of the MPEG stream has been decoded.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL``
|
|
- 3
|
|
- This event requires that the ``id`` matches the control ID from
|
|
which you want to receive events. This event is triggered if the
|
|
control's value changes, if a button control is pressed or if the
|
|
control's flags change. This event has a struct
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_event_ctrl` associated with it.
|
|
This struct contains much of the same information as struct
|
|
:ref:`v4l2_queryctrl <v4l2-queryctrl>` and struct
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_control`.
|
|
|
|
If the event is generated due to a call to
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` or
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, then the
|
|
event will *not* be sent to the file handle that called the ioctl
|
|
function. This prevents nasty feedback loops. If you *do* want to
|
|
get the event, then set the ``V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK``
|
|
flag.
|
|
|
|
This event type will ensure that no information is lost when more
|
|
events are raised than there is room internally. In that case the
|
|
struct :c:type:`v4l2_event_ctrl` of the
|
|
second-oldest event is kept, but the ``changes`` field of the
|
|
second-oldest event is ORed with the ``changes`` field of the
|
|
oldest event.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC``
|
|
- 4
|
|
- Triggered immediately when the reception of a frame has begun.
|
|
This event has a struct
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_event_frame_sync`
|
|
associated with it.
|
|
|
|
If the hardware needs to be stopped in the case of a buffer
|
|
underrun it might not be able to generate this event. In such
|
|
cases the ``frame_sequence`` field in struct
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_event_frame_sync` will not
|
|
be incremented. This causes two consecutive frame sequence numbers
|
|
to have n times frame interval in between them.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE``
|
|
- 5
|
|
- This event is triggered when a source parameter change is detected
|
|
during runtime by the video device. It can be a runtime resolution
|
|
change triggered by a video decoder or the format change happening
|
|
on an input connector. This event requires that the ``id`` matches
|
|
the input index (when used with a video device node) or the pad
|
|
index (when used with a subdevice node) from which you want to
|
|
receive events.
|
|
|
|
This event has a struct
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_event_src_change`
|
|
associated with it. The ``changes`` bitfield denotes what has
|
|
changed for the subscribed pad. If multiple events occurred before
|
|
application could dequeue them, then the changes will have the
|
|
ORed value of all the events generated.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_MOTION_DET``
|
|
- 6
|
|
- Triggered whenever the motion detection state for one or more of
|
|
the regions changes. This event has a struct
|
|
:c:type:`v4l2_event_motion_det`
|
|
associated with it.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START``
|
|
- 0x08000000
|
|
- Base event number for driver-private events.

* - __u32
|
|
- ``flags``
|
|
- Currently only one flag is available: if
|
|
``V4L2_EVENT_MD_FL_HAVE_FRAME_SEQ`` is set, then the
|
|
``frame_sequence`` field is valid, otherwise that field should be
|

ignored.
|

* - __u32
|
|
- ``frame_sequence``
|
|
- The sequence number of the frame being received. Only valid if the
|

``V4L2_EVENT_MD_FL_HAVE_FRAME_SEQ`` flag was set.
|
|
* - __u32
|
|
- ``region_mask``
|
|
- The bitmask of the regions that reported motion. There is at least
|
|
one region. If this field is 0, then no motion was detected at
|
|
all. If there is no ``V4L2_CID_DETECT_MD_REGION_GRID`` control
|
|
(see :ref:`detect-controls`) to assign a different region to
|
|
each cell in the motion detection grid, then that all cells are
|
|
automatically assigned to the default region 0.

|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_VALUE``
|
|
- 0x0001
|
|
- This control event was triggered because the value of the control
|
|
changed. Special cases: Volatile controls do no generate this
|
|
event; If a control has the ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE``
|
|
flag set, then this event is sent as well, regardless its value.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_FLAGS``
|
|
- 0x0002
|
|
- This control event was triggered because the control flags
|
|
changed.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_RANGE``
|
|
- 0x0004
|
|
- This control event was triggered because the minimum, maximum,
|
|
step or the default value of the control changed.
|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_DIMENSIONS``
|
|
- 0x0008
|
|
- This control event was triggered because the dimensions of the
|
|
control changed. Note that the number of dimensions remains the
|
|
same.

|
|
* - ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION``
|
|
- 0x0001
|
|
- This event gets triggered when a resolution change is detected at
|
|
an input. This can come from an input connector or from a video
|
|
decoder. Applications will have to query the new resolution (if
|
|
any, the signal may also have been lost).
|
|
|
|
For stateful decoders follow the guidelines in :ref:`decoder`.
|
|
Video Capture devices have to query the new timings using
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS` or
|
|
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYSTD <VIDIOC_QUERYSTD>`.
|
|
|
|
*Important*: even if the new video timings appear identical to the old
|
|
ones, receiving this event indicates that there was an issue with the
|
|
video signal and you must stop and restart streaming
|
|
(:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`
|
|
followed by :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`). The reason is
|
|
that many Video Capture devices are not able to recover from a temporary
|
|
loss of signal and so restarting streaming I/O is required in order for
|
|
the hardware to synchronize to the video signal.
|
|
|
|
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.
