<para>To change link properties applications fill a &media-link-desc; with
link identification information (source and sink pad) and the new requested
link flags. They then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to
that structure.</para>
<para>The only configurable property is the <constant>ENABLED</constant>
link flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the
<constant>IMMUTABLE</constant> link flag can not be enabled or disabled.
</para>
<para>Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled
link at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver
returns with an &EBUSY;.</para>
<para>Only links marked with the <constant>DYNAMIC</constant> link flag can
be enabled/disabled while streaming media data. Attempting to enable or
disable a streaming non-dynamic link will return an &EBUSY;.</para>
<para>If the specified link can't be found the driver returns with an
&EINVAL;.</para>
