<title>Description</title>
<para>To get the current value of a control applications
initialize the <structfield>id</structfield> field of a struct
<structname>v4l2_control</structname> and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_G_CTRL</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. To change the value of a control applications initialize
the <structfield>id</structfield> and <structfield>value</structfield>
fields of a struct <structname>v4l2_control</structname> and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl.</para>
<para>When the <structfield>id</structfield> is invalid drivers
return an &EINVAL;. When the <structfield>value</structfield> is out
of bounds drivers can choose to take the closest valid value or return
an &ERANGE;, whatever seems more appropriate. However,
<constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> is a write-only ioctl, it does not
return the actual new value.</para>
<para>These ioctls work only with user controls. For other
control classes the &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; or
&VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS; must be used.</para>
