+
+    <para>This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame
+intervals that the device supports for the given pixel format and
+frame size.</para>
+    <para>The supported pixel formats and frame sizes can be obtained
+by using the &VIDIOC-ENUM-FMT; and &VIDIOC-ENUM-FRAMESIZES;
+functions.</para>
+    <para>The return value and the content of the
+<structfield>v4l2_frmivalenum.type</structfield> field depend on the
+type of frame intervals the device supports. Here are the semantics of
+the function for the different cases:</para>
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem>
+	<para><emphasis role="bold">Discrete:</emphasis> The function
+returns success if the given index value (zero-based) is valid. The
+application should increase the index by one for each call until
+<constant>EINVAL</constant> is returned. The `v4l2_frmivalenum.type`
+field is set to `V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_DISCRETE` by the driver. Of the
+union only the `discrete` member is valid.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+	<para><emphasis role="bold">Step-wise:</emphasis> The function
+returns success if the given index value is zero and
+<constant>EINVAL</constant> for any other index value. The
+<structfield>v4l2_frmivalenum.type</structfield> field is set to
+<constant>V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_STEPWISE</constant> by the driver. Of the
+union only the <structfield>stepwise</structfield> member is
+valid.</para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+	<para><emphasis role="bold">Continuous:</emphasis> This is a
+special case of the step-wise type above. The function returns success
+if the given index value is zero and <constant>EINVAL</constant> for
+any other index value. The
+<structfield>v4l2_frmivalenum.type</structfield> field is set to
+<constant>V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_CONTINUOUS</constant> by the driver. Of
+the union only the <structfield>stepwise</structfield> member is valid
+and the <structfield>step</structfield> value is set to 1.</para>
+      </listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>
+
+    <para>When the application calls the function with index zero, it
+must check the <structfield>type</structfield> field to determine the
+type of frame interval enumeration the device supports. Only for the
+<constant>V4L2_FRMIVAL_TYPE_DISCRETE</constant> type does it make
+sense to increase the index value to receive more frame
+intervals.</para>
+    <para>Note that the order in which the frame intervals are
+returned has no special meaning. In particular does it not say
+anything about potential default frame intervals.</para>
+    <para>Applications can assume that the enumeration data does not
+change without any interaction from the application itself. This means
+that the enumeration data is consistent if the application does not
+perform any other ioctl calls while it runs the frame interval
+enumeration.</para>

+rates:</emphasis> The V4L2 API uses frame intervals instead of frame
+rates. Given the frame interval the frame rate can be computed as
+follows:<screen>frame_rate = 1 / frame_interval</screen></para>
