media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide").
As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.
Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.

To do so, applications call :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYSTD` with a +pointer to a :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>` type. The driver +stores here a set of candidates, this can be a single flag or a set of +supported standards if for example the hardware can only distinguish +between 50 and 60 Hz systems. If no signal was detected, then the driver +will return V4L2_STD_UNKNOWN. When detection is not possible or fails, +the set must contain all standards supported by the current video input +or output. + +.. note:: + + Drivers shall *not* switch the video standard + automatically if a new video standard is detected. Instead, drivers + should send the ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE`` event (if they support + this) and expect that userspace will take action by calling + :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYSTD`. The reason is that a new video standard can mean + different buffer sizes as well, and you cannot change buffer sizes on + the fly. In general, applications that receive the Source Change event + will have to call :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYSTD`, and if the detected video + standard is valid they will have to stop streaming, set the new + standard, allocate new buffers and start streaming again. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. + +ENODATA + Standard video timings are not supported for this input or output. |
