Sphinx 3.x broke support for the cdomain.py extension, as the c domain code was rewritten. Due to that, the c tags need to be re-written, in order to use the new c domain notation. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC`.
|
|
|
|
``cmd``
|
|
The request ioctl command code as defined in the media.h header file, for
|
|
example :ref:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE`.
|
|
|
|
``argp``
|
|
Pointer to a request-specific structure.
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`ioctl() <request-func-ioctl>` function manipulates request
|
|
parameters. The argument ``fd`` must be an open file descriptor.
|
|
|
|
The ioctl ``cmd`` code specifies the request function to be called. It
|
|
has encoded in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write
|
|
parameter, and the size of the argument ``argp`` in bytes.
|
|
|
|
Macros and structures definitions specifying request ioctl commands and
|
|
their parameters are located in the media.h header file. All request ioctl
|
|
commands, their respective function and parameters are specified in
|
|
:ref:`media-user-func`.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Command-specific error codes are listed in the individual command
|
|
descriptions.
|
|
|
|
When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails, the
|
|
parameter remains unmodified.
