<title>Description</title>
<para>To query and select the current video standard applications
use the <constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant> and <constant>VIDIOC_S_STD</constant> ioctls which take a pointer to a
&v4l2-std-id; type as argument. <constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant> can
return a single flag or a set of flags as in &v4l2-standard; field
<structfield>id</structfield>. The flags must be unambiguous such
that they appear in only one enumerated <structname>v4l2_standard</structname> structure.</para>
<para><constant>VIDIOC_S_STD</constant> accepts one or more
flags, being a write-only ioctl it does not return the actual new standard as
<constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant> does. When no flags are given or
the current input does not support the requested standard the driver
returns an &EINVAL;. When the standard set is ambiguous drivers may
return <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> or choose any of the requested
standards. If the current input or output does not support standard video timings (e.g. if
&VIDIOC-ENUMINPUT; does not set the <constant>V4L2_IN_CAP_STD</constant> flag), then
&ENODATA; is returned.</para>
