<title>Description</title>
<para>To query the attributes of a video input applications
initialize the <structfield>index</structfield> field of &v4l2-input;
and call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT</constant> ioctl with a
pointer to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or
return an &EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all
inputs applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one
until the driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>

v4l2 api". "Why are some of them inverted? So that the driver doesn't
have to lie about the status in cases where it can't tell one way or
