+
+Description
+===========
+
+These ioctls are used to get and set the client (the application using the
+subdevice ioctls) capabilities. The client capabilities are stored in the file
+handle of the opened subdev device node, and the client must set the
+capabilities for each opened subdev separately.
+
+By default no client capabilities are set when a subdev device node is opened.
+
+The purpose of the client capabilities are to inform the kernel of the behavior
+of the client, mainly related to maintaining compatibility with different
+kernel and userspace versions.
+
+The ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CLIENT_CAP`` ioctl returns the current client capabilities
+associated with the file handle ``fd``.
+
+The ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CLIENT_CAP`` ioctl sets client capabilities for the file
+handle ``fd``. The new capabilities fully replace the current capabilities, the
+ioctl can therefore also be used to remove capabilities that have previously
+been set.
+
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CLIENT_CAP`` modifies the struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_client_capability` to reflect the capabilities that have
+been accepted. A common case for the kernel not accepting a capability is that
+the kernel is older than the headers the userspace uses, and thus the capability
+is unknown to the kernel.
+
+.. flat-table:: Client Capabilities
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Capability
+ - Description
+ * - ``V4L2_SUBDEV_CLIENT_CAP_STREAMS``
+ - The client is aware of streams. Setting this flag enables the use
+ of 'stream' fields (referring to the stream number) with various
+ ioctls. If this is not set (which is the default), the 'stream' fields
+ will be forced to 0 by the kernel.
+
+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.
+
+ENOIOCTLCMD
+ The kernel does not support this ioctl.

Structures

+Legacy families can define C structures both to be used as the contents of
+an attribute and as a fixed message header. Structures are defined in
+``definitions`` and referenced in operations or attributes. Note that
+structures defined in YAML are implicitly packed according to C
+conventions. For example, the following struct is 4 bytes, not 6 bytes:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct {
+ u8 a;
+ u16 b;
+ u8 c;
+ }
+
+Any padding must be explicitly added and C-like languages should infer the
+need for explicit padding from whether the members are naturally aligned.
+
+Here is the struct definition from above, declared in YAML:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ definitions:
+ -
+ name: message-header
+ type: struct
+ members:
+ -
+ name: a
+ type: u8
+ -
+ name: b
+ type: u16
+ -
+ name: c
+ type: u8
+
+Fixed Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Fixed message headers can be added to operations using ``fixed-header``.
+The default ``fixed-header`` can be set in ``operations`` and it can be set
+or overridden for each operation.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ operations:
+ fixed-header: message-header
+ list:
+ -
+ name: get
+ fixed-header: custom-header
+ attribute-set: message-attrs
+
+Attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A ``binary`` attribute can be interpreted as a C structure using a
+``struct`` property with the name of the structure definition. The
+``struct`` property implies ``sub-type: struct`` so it is not necessary to
+specify a sub-type.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ attribute-sets:
+ -
+ name: stats-attrs
+ attributes:
+ -
+ name: stats
+ type: binary
+ struct: vport-stats
+
+C Arrays
+--------
+
+Legacy families also use ``binary`` attributes to encapsulate C arrays. The
+``sub-type`` is used to identify the type of scalar to extract.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ attributes:
+ -
+ name: ports
