-MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC - Allocate a request
-
-
-Synopsis
-========
-
-.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC, int *argp )
- :name: MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC
-
-
-Arguments
-=========
-
-``fd``
- File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
-
-``argp``
- Pointer to an integer.
-
-
-Description
-===========
-
-If the media device supports :ref:`requests <media-request-api>`, then
-this ioctl can be used to allocate a request. If it is not supported, then
-``errno`` is set to ``ENOTTY``. A request is accessed through a file descriptor
-that is returned in ``*argp``.
-
-If the request was successfully allocated, then the request file descriptor
-can be passed to the :ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF <VIDIOC_QBUF>`,
-:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`,
-:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` and
-:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` ioctls.
-
-In addition, the request can be queued by calling
-:ref:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_QUEUE` and re-initialized by calling
-:ref:`MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT`.
-
-Finally, the file descriptor can be :ref:`polled <request-func-poll>` to wait
-for the request to complete.
-
-The request will remain allocated until all the file descriptors associated
-with it are closed by :ref:`close() <request-func-close>` and the driver no
-longer uses the request internally. See also
-:ref:`here <media-request-life-time>` for more information.
-
-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.
-
-ENOTTY
- The driver has no support for requests.
