This +currently includes cropping, scaling and composition. + +The selection API replaces +:ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the +function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API. + +See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target +affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice. + + +Types of selection targets +-------------------------- + +There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual +targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target +will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles. + + +Discovering supported features +------------------------------ + +To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will +return ``EINVAL``. + +Selection targets and flags are documented in +:ref:`v4l2-selections-common`. + + +.. _v4l2-subdev-selection: + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_subdev_selection + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + + - .. row 1 + + - __u32 + + - ``which`` + + - Active or try selection, from enum + :ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`. + + - .. row 2 + + - __u32 + + - ``pad`` + + - Pad number as reported by the media framework. + + - .. row 3 + + - __u32 + + - ``target`` + + - Target selection rectangle.

The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. + +EBUSY + The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is + currently busy.
