 ioctl VIDIOC_DQEVENT
 ********************

 Name
 ====

 VIDIOC_DQEVENT - Dequeue event


 Synopsis
 ========

 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_DQEVENT, struct v4l2_event *argp )
     :name: VIDIOC_DQEVENT


 Arguments
 =========

 ``fd``
     File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

 ``argp``
     Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_event`.


 Description
 ===========

 Dequeue an event from a video device. No input is required for this
 ioctl. All the fields of the struct :c:type:`v4l2_event`
 structure are filled by the driver. The file handle will also receive
 exceptions which the application may get by e.g. using the select system
 call.

 .. flat-table:: Event Types
     :header-rows:  0
     :stub-columns: 0
     :widths:       3 1 4

     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_ALL``
       - 0
       - All events. V4L2_EVENT_ALL is valid only for
 	VIDIOC_UNSUBSCRIBE_EVENT for unsubscribing all events at once.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_VSYNC``
       - 1
       - This event is triggered on the vertical sync. This event has a
 	struct :c:type:`v4l2_event_vsync` associated
 	with it.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_EOS``
       - 2
       - This event is triggered when the end of a stream is reached. This
 	is typically used with MPEG decoders to report to the application
 	when the last of the MPEG stream has been decoded.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_CTRL``
       - 3
       - This event requires that the ``id`` matches the control ID from
 	which you want to receive events. This event is triggered if the
 	control's value changes, if a button control is pressed or if the
 	control's flags change. This event has a struct
 	:c:type:`v4l2_event_ctrl` associated with it.
 	This struct contains much of the same information as struct
 	:ref:`v4l2_queryctrl <v4l2-queryctrl>` and struct
 	:c:type:`v4l2_control`.

 	If the event is generated due to a call to
 	:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` or
 	:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`, then the
 	event will *not* be sent to the file handle that called the ioctl
 	function. This prevents nasty feedback loops. If you *do* want to
 	get the event, then set the ``V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK``
 	flag.

 	This event type will ensure that no information is lost when more
 	events are raised than there is room internally. In that case the
 	struct :c:type:`v4l2_event_ctrl` of the
 	second-oldest event is kept, but the ``changes`` field of the
 	second-oldest event is ORed with the ``changes`` field of the
 	oldest event.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC``
       - 4
       - Triggered immediately when the reception of a frame has begun.
 	This event has a struct
 	:c:type:`v4l2_event_frame_sync`
 	associated with it.

 	If the hardware needs to be stopped in the case of a buffer
 	underrun it might not be able to generate this event. In such
 	cases the ``frame_sequence`` field in struct
 	:c:type:`v4l2_event_frame_sync` will not
 	be incremented. This causes two consecutive frame sequence numbers
 	to have n times frame interval in between them.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE``
       - 5
       - This event is triggered when a source parameter change is detected
 	during runtime by the video device. It can be a runtime resolution
 	change triggered by a video decoder or the format change happening
 	on an input connector. This event requires that the ``id`` matches
 	the input index (when used with a video device node) or the pad
 	index (when used with a subdevice node) from which you want to
 	receive events.

 	This event has a struct
 	:c:type:`v4l2_event_src_change`
 	associated with it. The ``changes`` bitfield denotes what has
 	changed for the subscribed pad. If multiple events occurred before
 	application could dequeue them, then the changes will have the
 	ORed value of all the events generated.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_MOTION_DET``
       - 6
       - Triggered whenever the motion detection state for one or more of
 	the regions changes. This event has a struct
 	:c:type:`v4l2_event_motion_det`
 	associated with it.
     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START``
       - 0x08000000
       - Base event number for driver-private events.

 	(see :ref:`detect-controls`) to assign a different region to
 	each cell in the motion detection grid, then that all cells are
 	automatically assigned to the default region 0.

       - This control event was triggered because the value of the control
 	changed. Special cases: Volatile controls do no generate this
 	event; If a control has the ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_EXECUTE_ON_WRITE``

     * - ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION``
       - 0x0001
       - This event gets triggered when a resolution change is detected at
 	an input. This can come from an input connector or from a video
 	decoder. Applications will have to query the new resolution (if
 	any, the signal may also have been lost).

 	For stateful decoders follow the guidelines in :ref:`decoder`.
 	Video Capture devices have to query the new timings using
 	:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS` or
 	:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYSTD <VIDIOC_QUERYSTD>`.

 	*Important*: even if the new video timings appear identical to the old
 	ones, receiving this event indicates that there was an issue with the
 	video signal and you must stop and restart streaming
 	(:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`
 	followed by :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`). The reason is
 	that many Video Capture devices are not able to recover from a temporary
 	loss of signal and so restarting streaming I/O is required in order for
 	the hardware to synchronize to the video signal.


 Return Value
 ============

 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

	This struct contains much of the same information as struct

	If the event is generated due to a call to

	This event type will ensure that no information is lost when more
	events are raised than there is room internally. In that case the

	- ``region_mask``
	- The bitmask of the regions that reported motion. There is at least
	one region. If this field is 0, then no motion was detected at
	all. If there is no ``V4L2_CID_DETECT_MD_REGION_GRID`` control
	(see :ref:`detect-controls`) to assign a different region to
	each cell in the motion detection grid, then that all cells are
	automatically assigned to the default region 0.

	* - ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_RESOLUTION``
	- 0x0001
	- This event gets triggered when a resolution change is detected at
	an input. This can come from an input connector or from a video
	decoder. Applications will have to query the new resolution (if
	any, the signal may also have been lost).

	For stateful decoders follow the guidelines in :ref:`decoder`.
	Video Capture devices have to query the new timings using
	:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS` or
	:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYSTD <VIDIOC_QUERYSTD>`.

	Important: even if the new video timings appear identical to the old
	ones, receiving this event indicates that there was an issue with the
	video signal and you must stop and restart streaming
	(:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`
	followed by :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`). The reason is
	that many Video Capture devices are not able to recover from a temporary
	loss of signal and so restarting streaming I/O is required in order for
	the hardware to synchronize to the video signal.


	Return Value
	============

	On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
	appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
	:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
