From 6756207a71a0f976ab027186d0966a2162aaf922 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:38:51 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB: V4L Doc: correct the documentation for VIDIOC_QUERYMENU The VIDIOC_QUERYMENU documentation was not correct. EINVAL can be returned if the driver does not support some of the menu items. I.e. in a list of MPEG bitrates a driver generally supports only a subset of these. This behavior has been in place for years, but was never properly documented.
