+<constant>VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to an integer
+where the driver stores the number of the output, as in the
+&v4l2-output; <structfield>index</structfield> field. This ioctl
+will fail only when there are no video outputs, returning the

+
+    <para>To select a video output applications store the number of the
+desired output in an integer and call the
+<constant>VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this integer.
+Side effects are possible. For example outputs may support different
+video standards, so the driver may implicitly switch the current
+standard. It is good practice to select an output before querying or
+negotiating any other parameters.</para>
