<title>Description</title>
<note>
<title>Experimental</title>
<para>This is an <link
linkend="experimental">experimental</link> interface and may change in
the future.</para>
</note>
<para>For driver debugging purposes this ioctl allows test
applications to query the driver about the chips present on the TV
card. Regular applications must not use it. When you found a chip
specific bug, please contact the linux-media mailing list (&v4l-ml;)
so it can be fixed.</para>
<para>To query the driver applications must initialize the
<structfield>match.type</structfield> and
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> or <structfield>match.name</structfield>
fields of a &v4l2-dbg-chip-ident;
and call <constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> with a pointer to
this structure. On success the driver stores information about the
selected chip in the <structfield>ident</structfield> and
<structfield>revision</structfield> fields. On failure the structure
remains unchanged.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_HOST</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth non-&i2c; chip
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.
The number zero always selects the host chip, ⪚ the chip connected
to the PCI or USB bus.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_DRIVER</constant>,
<structfield>match.name</structfield> contains the I2C driver name.
For instance
<constant>"saa7127"</constant> will match any chip
supported by the saa7127 driver, regardless of its &i2c; bus address.
When multiple chips supported by the same driver are present, the
ioctl will return <constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant> in the
<structfield>ident</structfield> field.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_ADDR</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects a chip by its 7 bit
&i2c; bus address.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_AC97</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth AC97 chip
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.</para>
<para>On success, the <structfield>ident</structfield> field will
contain a chip ID from the Linux
<filename>media/v4l2-chip-ident.h</filename> header file, and the
<structfield>revision</structfield> field will contain a driver
specific value, or zero if no particular revision is associated with
this chip.</para>
<para>When the driver could not identify the selected chip,
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_UNKNOWN</constant>. When no chip matched
the ioctl will succeed but the
<structfield>ident</structfield> field will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_NONE</constant>. If multiple chips matched,
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant>. In all these cases the
<structfield>revision</structfield> field remains unchanged.</para>
<para>This ioctl is optional, not all drivers may support it. It
was introduced in Linux 2.6.21, but the API was changed to the
one described here in 2.6.29.</para>
<para>We recommended the <application>v4l2-dbg</application>
utility over calling this ioctl directly. It is available from the
LinuxTV v4l-dvb repository; see <ulink
url="http://linuxtv.org/repo/">http://linuxtv.org/repo/</ulink> for
access instructions.</para>
