57 | |||
58 | <para>The <constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> ioctl provides | ||
59 | meta data about a compressed video stream the same or another | ||
60 | application currently reads from the driver, which is useful for | ||
61 | random access into the stream without decoding it.</para> | ||
62 | |||
63 | <para>To read the data applications must call | ||
64 | <constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> with a pointer to a | ||
65 | &v4l2-enc-idx;. On success the driver fills the | ||
66 | <structfield>entry</structfield> array, stores the number of elements | ||
67 | written in the <structfield>entries</structfield> field, and | ||
68 | initializes the <structfield>entries_cap</structfield> field.</para> | ||
69 | |||
70 | <para>Each element of the <structfield>entry</structfield> array | ||
71 | contains meta data about one picture. A | ||
72 | <constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> call reads up to | ||
73 | <constant>V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES</constant> entries from a driver | ||
74 | buffer, which can hold up to <structfield>entries_cap</structfield> | ||
75 | entries. This number can be lower or higher than | ||
76 | <constant>V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES</constant>, but not zero. When the | ||
77 | application fails to read the meta data in time the oldest entries | ||
78 | will be lost. When the buffer is empty or no capturing/encoding is in | ||
79 | progress, <structfield>entries</structfield> will be zero.</para> | ||
80 | |||
81 | <para>Currently this ioctl is only defined for MPEG-2 program | ||
82 | streams and video elementary streams.</para> | ||
