+
+ <para>This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame sizes
+(&ie; width and height in pixels) that the device supports for the
+given pixel format.</para>
+ <para>The supported pixel formats can be obtained by using the
+&VIDIOC-ENUM-FMT; function.</para>
+ <para>The return value and the content of the
+<structfield>v4l2_frmsizeenum.type</structfield> field depend on the
+type of frame sizes the device supports. Here are the semantics of the
+function for the different cases:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Discrete:</emphasis> The function
+returns success if the given index value (zero-based) is valid. The
+application should increase the index by one for each call until
+<constant>EINVAL</constant> is returned. The
+<structfield>v4l2_frmsizeenum.type</structfield> field is set to
+<constant>V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_DISCRETE</constant> by the driver. Of the
+union only the <structfield>discrete</structfield> member is
+valid.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Step-wise:</emphasis> The function
+returns success if the given index value is zero and
+<constant>EINVAL</constant> for any other index value. The
+<structfield>v4l2_frmsizeenum.type</structfield> field is set to
+<constant>V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_STEPWISE</constant> by the driver. Of the
+union only the <structfield>stepwise</structfield> member is
+valid.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Continuous:</emphasis> This is a
+special case of the step-wise type above. The function returns success
+if the given index value is zero and <constant>EINVAL</constant> for
+any other index value. The
+<structfield>v4l2_frmsizeenum.type</structfield> field is set to
+<constant>V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_CONTINUOUS</constant> by the driver. Of
+the union only the <structfield>stepwise</structfield> member is valid
+and the <structfield>step_width</structfield> and
+<structfield>step_height</structfield> values are set to 1.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>When the application calls the function with index zero, it
+must check the <structfield>type</structfield> field to determine the
+type of frame size enumeration the device supports. Only for the
+<constant>V4L2_FRMSIZE_TYPE_DISCRETE</constant> type does it make
+sense to increase the index value to receive more frame sizes.</para>
+ <para>Note that the order in which the frame sizes are returned
+has no special meaning. In particular does it not say anything about
+potential default format sizes.</para>
+ <para>Applications can assume that the enumeration data does not
+change without any interaction from the application itself. This means
+that the enumeration data is consistent if the application does not
+perform any other ioctl calls while it runs the frame size
+enumeration.</para>

+ <title>Structs</title>
+
+ <para>In the structs below, <emphasis>IN</emphasis> denotes a
+value that has to be filled in by the application,
+<emphasis>OUT</emphasis> denotes values that the driver fills in. The
+application should zero out all members except for the
+<emphasis>IN</emphasis> fields.</para>
