**************************
ioctl MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY
**************************

Name
====

MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY - Enumerate the graph topology and graph element properties


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY, struct media_v2_topology *argp )
    :name: MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY


Arguments
=========

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

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`media_v2_topology`.


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

The typical usage of this ioctl is to call it twice. On the first call,
the structure defined at struct
:c:type:`media_v2_topology` should be zeroed. At
return, if no errors happen, this ioctl will return the
``topology_version`` and the total number of entities, interfaces, pads
and links.

Before the second call, the userspace should allocate arrays to store
the graph elements that are desired, putting the pointers to them at the
ptr_entities, ptr_interfaces, ptr_links and/or ptr_pads, keeping the
other values untouched.

If the ``topology_version`` remains the same, the ioctl should fill the
desired arrays with the media graph elements.

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.

ENOSPC
    This is returned when either one or more of the num_entities,
    num_interfaces, num_links or num_pads are non-zero and are
    smaller than the actual number of elements inside the graph. This
    may happen if the ``topology_version`` changed when compared to the
    last time this ioctl was called. Userspace should usually free the
    area for the pointers, zero the struct elements and call this ioctl
    again.
