66 <para>To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the
67 <structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-crop; to the
68 desired pad number as reported by the media API and the
69 <structfield>which</structfield> field to
70 <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. They then call the
71 <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
72 structure. The driver fills the members of the <structfield>rect</structfield>
73 field or returns &EINVAL; if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping
74 is not supported on the given pad.</para>
75
76 <para>To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the
77 <structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields
78 and all members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> field. They then call
79 the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
80 structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
81 based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return
82 the &v4l2-subdev-crop; contains the current format as would be returned
83 by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> call.</para>
84
85 <para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the
86 <structfield>which</structfield> to
87 <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' crop
88 rectangles are not applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled
89 exactly as active crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle.
90 Two applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
91 each other.</para>
92
93 <para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
94 rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify
95 the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format
96 should be as close as possible to the original request.</para>
