ioctl MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS
**************************

Name
====

MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS - Enumerate all pads and links for a given entity


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS, struct media_links_enum *argp )
    :name: MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS


Arguments
=========

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

``argp``


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

To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set the
entity field of a struct :c:type:`media_links_enum`
structure and initialize the struct
:c:type:`media_pad_desc` and struct
:c:type:`media_link_desc` structure arrays pointed by
the ``pads`` and ``links`` fields. They then call the
MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure.

If the ``pads`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``pads`` array
with information about the entity's pads. The array must have enough
room to store all the entity's pads. The number of pads can be retrieved
with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.

If the ``links`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``links`` array
with information about the entity's outbound links. The array must have
enough room to store all the entity's outbound links. The number of
outbound links can be retrieved with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.

Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
returned during the enumeration process.

:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

EINVAL
    The struct :c:type:`media_links_enum` ``id``
    references a non-existing entity.
