Once the hardware detects the timings, it will fill in the +timings structure. + +If the timings could not be detected because there was no signal, then +<errorcode>ENOLINK</errorcode> is returned. If a signal was detected, but +it was unstable and the receiver could not lock to the signal, then +<errorcode>ENOLCK</errorcode> is returned. If the receiver could lock to the signal, +but the format is unsupported (e.g. because the pixelclock is out of range +of the hardware capabilities), then the driver fills in whatever timings it +could find and returns <errorcode>ERANGE</errorcode>. In that case the application +can call &VIDIOC-DV-TIMINGS-CAP; to compare the found timings with the hardware's +capabilities in order to give more precise feedback to the user. +</para> + </refsect1> + + <refsect1> + &return-value; + + <variablelist> + <varlistentry> + <term><errorcode>ENOLINK</errorcode></term> + <listitem> + <para>No timings could be detected because no signal was found. +</para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + <varlistentry> + <term><errorcode>ENOLCK</errorcode></term> + <listitem> + <para>The signal was unstable and the hardware could not lock on to it. +</para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + <varlistentry> + <term><errorcode>ERANGE</errorcode></term> + <listitem> + <para>Timings were found, but they are out of range of the hardware +capabilities. +</para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + </variablelist> + </refsect1> +</refentry> |
