51 | <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">memory | ||
52 | mapping</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a | ||
53 | buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the | ||
54 | &VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para> | ||
55 | |||
56 | <para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field | ||
57 | of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as was previously used with | ||
58 | &v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers; | ||
59 | <structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield> | ||
60 | field. Valid index numbers range from zero | ||
61 | to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS; | ||
62 | (&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one. | ||
63 | The <structfield>reserved</structfield> field should to set to 0. | ||
64 | When using the <link linkend="planar-apis">multi-planar API</link>, the | ||
65 | <structfield>m.planes</structfield> field must contain a userspace pointer to an | ||
66 | array of &v4l2-plane; and the <structfield>length</structfield> field has | ||
67 | to be set to the number of elements in that array. | ||
68 | After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to | ||
69 | this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of | ||
70 | the structure.</para> | ||
71 | |||
72 | <para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the | ||
73 | <constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>, | ||
74 | <constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and | ||
75 | <constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The | ||
76 | <structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to the current | ||
77 | I/O method. For the single-planar API, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield> | ||
78 | contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory, | ||
79 | the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. For the multi-planar API, | ||
80 | fields <structfield>m.mem_offset</structfield> and | ||
81 | <structfield>length</structfield> in the <structfield>m.planes</structfield> | ||
82 | array elements will be used instead. The driver may or may not set the remaining | ||
83 | fields and flags, they are meaningless in this context.</para> | ||

86 | specified in <xref linkend="buffer" />.</para> | ||
