    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To query the attributes of a video input applications
initialize the <structfield>index</structfield> field of &v4l2-input;
and call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT</constant> ioctl with a
pointer to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or
return an &EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all
inputs applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one
until the driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>

video4linux-list@redhat.com on 18 Oct 2002, subject "Re: [V4L] Re:
v4l2 api". "Why are some of them inverted? So that the driver doesn't
have to lie about the status in cases where it can't tell one way or
the other. Plus, a status of zero would generally mean that everything
is OK." -->
