Mauro Carvalho Chehab 54f38fcae5 media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee38 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide").

As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.

Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.

Name

VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION - VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION - Get or set selection rectangles on a subdev pad
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp )
:name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp )
:name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
``argp``
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`.
Description
===========
The selections are used to configure various image processing
functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
The selection API replaces
:ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
Types of selection targets
--------------------------
There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
Discovering supported features
------------------------------
To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will
return ``EINVAL``.
Selection targets and flags are documented in
:ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.

* - __u32
- ``which``
- Active or try selection, from enum
:ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`.
* - __u32
- ``pad``
- Pad number as reported by the media framework.

- Reserved for future extensions. Applications and drivers must set
the array to zero.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
EBUSY
The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``
EINVAL
The struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`
``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``which`` field
references a non-existing format, or the selection target is not
supported on the given subdev pad.
