VIDIOC_DQEVENT

Description
Dequeue an event from a video device. No input is required
for this ioctl. All the fields of the &v4l2-event; structure are
filled by the driver. The file handle will also receive exceptions
which the application may get by e.g. using the select system
call.
struct v4l2_event
&cs-str;
__u32
type
Type of the event.
union
u
&v4l2-event-vsync;
vsync
Event data for event V4L2_EVENT_VSYNC.
&v4l2-event-ctrl;
ctrl
Event data for event V4L2_EVENT_CTRL.
&v4l2-event-frame-sync;
frame_sync
Event data for event V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC.
&v4l2-event-motion-det;
motion_det
Event data for event V4L2_EVENT_MOTION_DET.
&v4l2-event-src-change;
src_change
Event data for event V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE.
__u8
data[64]
Event data. Defined by the event type. The union
should be used to define easily accessible type for
events.
__u32
pending
Number of pending events excluding this one.
__u32
sequence
Event sequence number. The sequence number is
incremented for every subscribed event that takes place.
If sequence numbers are not contiguous it means that
events have been lost.
struct timespec
timestamp
Event timestamp.
u32
id
The ID associated with the event source. If the event does not
have an associated ID (this depends on the event type), then this
is 0.
__u32
reserved[8]
Reserved for future extensions. Drivers must set
the array to zero.
struct v4l2_event_vsync
&cs-str;
__u8
field
The upcoming field. See &v4l2-field;.
struct v4l2_event_ctrl
&cs-str;
__u32
changes
A bitmask that tells what has changed. See .
__u32
type
The type of the control. See &v4l2-ctrl-type;.
union (anonymous)
__s32
value
The 32-bit value of the control for 32-bit control types.
This is 0 for string controls since the value of a string
cannot be passed using &VIDIOC-DQEVENT;.
__s64
value64
The 64-bit value of the control for 64-bit control types.
__u32
flags
The control flags. See .
__s32
minimum
The minimum value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
__s32
maximum
The maximum value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
__s32
step
The step value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
__s32
default_value
The default value value of the control. See &v4l2-queryctrl;.
struct v4l2_event_frame_sync
&cs-str;
__u32
frame_sequence
The sequence number of the frame being received.
struct v4l2_event_src_change
&cs-str;
__u32
changes
A bitmask that tells what has changed. See .
struct v4l2_event_motion_det
&cs-str;
__u32
flags
Currently only one flag is available: if V4L2_EVENT_MD_FL_HAVE_FRAME_SEQ
is set, then the frame_sequence field is valid,
otherwise that field should be ignored.
__u32
frame_sequence
The sequence number of the frame being received. Only valid if the
V4L2_EVENT_MD_FL_HAVE_FRAME_SEQ flag was set.
__u32
region_mask
The bitmask of the regions that reported motion. There is at least one
region. If this field is 0, then no motion was detected at all.
If there is no V4L2_CID_DETECT_MD_REGION_GRID control
(see ) to assign a different region
to each cell in the motion detection grid, then that all cells
are automatically assigned to the default region 0.
Changes
&cs-def;
V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_VALUE
0x0001
This control event was triggered because the value of the control
changed. Special case: if a button control is pressed, then this
event is sent as well, even though there is not explicit value
associated with a button control.
V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_FLAGS
0x0002
This control event was triggered because the control flags
changed.
V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_RANGE
0x0004
This control event was triggered because the minimum,
maximum, step or the default value of the control changed.
Source Changes
&cs-def;
V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION
0x0001
This event gets triggered when a resolution change is
detected at an input. This can come from an input connector or
from a video decoder.
