It is superseded by + :ref:`the selection API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION>`. + +To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the ``pad`` +field of a struct :ref:`v4l2_subdev_crop <v4l2-subdev-crop>` to the +desired pad number as reported by the media API and the ``which`` field +to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``. They then call the +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The +driver fills the members of the ``rect`` field or returns ``EINVAL`` error +code if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping is not supported +on the given pad. + +To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the ``pad`` +and ``which`` fields and all members of the ``rect`` field. They then +call the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP`` ioctl with a pointer to this +structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it +based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon +return the struct :ref:`v4l2_subdev_crop <v4l2-subdev-crop>` +contains the current format as would be returned by a +``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP`` call. + +Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the ``which`` +to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``. When set, 'try' crop rectangles are not +applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled exactly as active +crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle. Two +applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with +each other. + +Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop +rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead +modify the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The +modified format should be as close as possible to the original request. + + +.. _v4l2-subdev-crop: + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_subdev_crop + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + + - .. row 1 + + - __u32 + + - ``pad`` + + - Pad number as reported by the media framework. + + - .. row 2 + + - __u32 + + - ``which`` + + - Crop rectangle to get or set, from enum + :ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`. + + - .. row 3 + + - struct :ref:`v4l2_rect <v4l2-rect>` + + - ``rect`` + + - Crop rectangle boundaries, in pixels. + + - .. row 4 + + - __u32 + + - ``reserved``\ [8] + + - Reserved for future extensions.
