      <para>This is an <link linkend="experimental">experimental</link>
      interface and may change in the future.</para>
    </note>

    <para>The selections are used to configure various image
    processing functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the
    image size. This currently includes cropping, scaling and
    composition.</para>

    <para>The selection API replaces <link
    linkend="vidioc-subdev-g-crop">the old subdev crop API</link>. All
    the function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the
    selections API.</para>

    <para>See <xref linkend="subdev"></xref> for
    more information on how each selection target affects the image
    processing pipeline inside the subdevice.</para>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Types of selection targets</title>

      <para>There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The
      actual targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS
      target will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual
      rectangles.</para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title>Discovering supported features</title>

      <para>To discover which targets are supported, the user can
      perform <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION</constant> on them.
      Any unsupported target will return
      <constant>EINVAL</constant>.</para>

    <para>Selection targets and flags are documented in <xref
    linkend="v4l2-selections-common"/>.</para>
