To get events from a V4L2 decoder +use the V4L2 :ref:`VIDIOC_DQEVENT` ioctl instead. + +This ioctl call returns an event of type video_event if available. If +an event is not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is +in blocking or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails +immediately with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call +blocks until an event becomes available. The standard Linux poll() +and/or select() system calls can be used with the device file descriptor +to watch for new events. For select(), the file descriptor should be +included in the exceptfds argument, and for poll(), POLLPRI should be +specified as the wake-up condition. Read-only permissions are sufficient +for this ioctl call. + +.. c:type:: video_event + +.. code-block:: c + + struct video_event { + __s32 type; + #define VIDEO_EVENT_SIZE_CHANGED 1 + #define VIDEO_EVENT_FRAME_RATE_CHANGED 2 + #define VIDEO_EVENT_DECODER_STOPPED 3 + #define VIDEO_EVENT_VSYNC 4 + long timestamp; + union { + video_size_t size; + unsigned int frame_rate; /* in frames per 1000sec */ + unsigned char vsync_field; /* unknown/odd/even/progressive */ + } u; + }; + +Return Value +------------ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately.
