__u32 |
width
|
Image width in pixels. |
__u32 |
height
|
Image height in pixels. If field is one of V4L2_FIELD_TOP,
V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM or V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE then height
refers to the number of lines in the field, otherwise it refers to
the number of lines in the frame (which is twice the field height
for interlaced formats). |
Applications set these fields to request an image
size, drivers return the closest possible values. In case of
planar formats the width and height applies to the largest
plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers must return values rounded up
to a multiple of the scale factor of any smaller planes. For
example when the image format is YUV 4:2:0, width and
height must be multiples of two.
For compressed formats that contain the resolution information encoded
inside the stream, when fed to a stateful mem2mem decoder, the fields
may be zero to rely on the decoder to detect the right values. For more
details see Memory-to-Memory Stateful Video Decoder Interface and format descriptions.
For compressed formats on the CAPTURE side of a stateful mem2mem
encoder, the fields must be zero, since the coded size is expected to
be calculated internally by the encoder itself, based on the OUTPUT
side. For more details see Memory-to-Memory Stateful Video Encoder Interface and format descriptions.

__u32 |
pixelformat
|
The pixel format or type of compression, set by the application.
This is a little endian
four character code. V4L2 defines standard
RGB formats in RGB Formats, YUV formats in
YUV Formats, and reserved codes in
Reserved Image Formats |
__u32 |
field
|
Field order, from enum v4l2_field.
Video images are typically interlaced. Applications can request to
capture or output only the top or bottom field, or both fields
interlaced or sequentially stored in one buffer or alternating in
separate buffers. Drivers return the actual field order selected.
For more details on fields see Field Order. |
__u32 |
bytesperline
|
Distance in bytes between the leftmost pixels in two adjacent
lines. |
|
Both applications and drivers can set this field to request
padding bytes at the end of each line. Drivers however may ignore
the value requested by the application, returning width times
bytes per pixel or a larger value required by the hardware. That
implies applications can just set this field to zero to get a
reasonable default.
Video hardware may access padding bytes, therefore they must
reside in accessible memory. Consider cases where padding bytes
after the last line of an image cross a system page boundary.
Input devices may write padding bytes, the value is undefined.
Output devices ignore the contents of padding bytes.
When the image format is planar the bytesperline value applies
to the first plane and is divided by the same factor as the
width field for the other planes. For example the Cb and Cr
planes of a YUV 4:2:0 image have half as many padding bytes
following each line as the Y plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers
must return a bytesperline value rounded up to a multiple of
the scale factor.
For compressed formats the bytesperline value makes no sense.
Applications and drivers must set this to 0 in that case.
|
__u32 |
sizeimage
|
Size in bytes of the buffer to hold a complete image, set by the
driver. Usually this is bytesperline times height. When
the image consists of variable length compressed data this is the
number of bytes required by the codec to support the worst-case
compression scenario.
The driver will set the value for uncompressed images.
Clients are allowed to set the sizeimage field for variable length
compressed data flagged with V4L2_FMT_FLAG_COMPRESSED at
ioctl VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT, but the driver may ignore it and set the
value itself, or it may modify the provided value based on
alignment requirements or minimum/maximum size requirements.
If the client wants to leave this to the driver, then it should
set sizeimage to 0.
|
__u32 |
colorspace
|
Image colorspace, from enum v4l2_colorspace.
This information supplements the pixelformat and must be set
by the driver for capture streams and by the application for
output streams, see Colorspaces. If the application sets the
flag V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC then the application can set
this field for a capture stream to request a specific colorspace
for the captured image data. If the driver cannot handle requested
conversion, it will return another supported colorspace.
The driver indicates that colorspace conversion is supported by setting
the flag V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_COLORSPACE in the corresponding struct
v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration. See Image Format Description Flags. |
__u32 |
priv
|
This field indicates whether the remaining fields of the
struct v4l2_pix_format, also called the
extended fields, are valid. When set to
V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC, it indicates that the extended fields
have been correctly initialized. When set to any other value it
indicates that the extended fields contain undefined values.
Applications that wish to use the pixel format extended fields
must first ensure that the feature is supported by querying the
device for the V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT
capability. If the capability isn't set the pixel format extended
fields are not supported and using the extended fields will lead
to undefined results.
To use the extended fields, applications must set the priv
field to V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC, initialize all the extended
fields and zero the unused bytes of the
struct v4l2_format raw_data field.
When the priv field isn't set to V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC
drivers must act as if all the extended fields were set to zero.
On return drivers must set the priv field to
V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC and all the extended fields to
applicable values.

flags
|
Flags set by the application or driver, see Format Flags. |

__u32 |
ycbcr_enc
|
Y'CbCr encoding, from enum v4l2_ycbcr_encoding.
This information supplements the colorspace and must be set by
the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
streams, see Colorspaces. If the application sets the
flag V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC then the application can set
this field for a capture stream to request a specific Y'CbCr encoding
for the captured image data. If the driver cannot handle requested
conversion, it will return another supported encoding.
This field is ignored for HSV pixelformats. The driver indicates that
ycbcr_enc conversion is supported by setting the flag
V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_YCBCR_ENC in the corresponding struct
v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration. See Image Format Description Flags. |
__u32 |
hsv_enc
|
HSV encoding, from enum v4l2_hsv_encoding.
This information supplements the colorspace and must be set by
the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
streams, see Colorspaces. If the application sets the flag
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC then the application can set this
field for a capture stream to request a specific HSV encoding for the
captured image data. If the driver cannot handle requested
conversion, it will return another supported encoding.
This field is ignored for non-HSV pixelformats. The driver indicates
that hsv_enc conversion is supported by setting the flag
V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_HSV_ENC in the corresponding struct
v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration. See Image Format Description Flags. |

|
Quantization range, from enum v4l2_quantization.
This information supplements the colorspace and must be set by
the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
streams, see Colorspaces. If the application sets the flag
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC then the application can set
this field for a capture stream to request a specific quantization
range for the captured image data. If the driver cannot handle requested
conversion, it will return another supported quantization.
The driver indicates that quantization conversion is supported by setting
the flag V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_QUANTIZATION in the corresponding struct
v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration. See Image Format Description Flags. |
__u32 |
xfer_func
|
Transfer function, from enum v4l2_xfer_func.
This information supplements the colorspace and must be set by
the driver for capture streams and by the application for output
streams, see Colorspaces. If the application sets the flag
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC then the application can set
this field for a capture stream to request a specific transfer function
for the captured image data. If the driver cannot handle requested
conversion, it will return another supported transfer function.
The driver indicates that xfer_func conversion is supported by setting
the flag V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_XFER_FUNC in the corresponding struct
v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration. See Image Format Description Flags. |
