Detailed Description

The MediaEntity represents an entity in the media graph.

Entities are created from the information provided by the Media Controller API in the media_v2_entity structure. They reference the pads() they contain.

In addition to their graph id, media graph entities are identified by a name() unique in the media device context. They implement a function() and may expose a deviceNode().

Member Function Documentation

◆ ancillaryEntities()

libcamera::MediaEntity::ancillaryEntities ( ) const
inline

Retrieve all ancillary entities of the entity.

Returns
The list of the entity's ancillary entities

◆ deviceMajor()

libcamera::MediaEntity::deviceMajor ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the major number of the interface associated with the entity.

Returns
The interface major number, or 0 if the entity isn't associated with an interface

◆ deviceMinor()

libcamera::MediaEntity::deviceMinor ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the minor number of the interface associated with the entity.

Returns
The interface minor number, or 0 if the entity isn't associated with an interface

◆ deviceNode()

libcamera::MediaEntity::deviceNode ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the entity's device node path, if any.

Returns
The entity's device node path, or an empty string if it is not set

int setDeviceNode()

◆ flags()

libcamera::MediaEntity::flags ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the entity's flags.

Media entity flags are expressed using the MEDIA_ENT_FL_* macros defined by the Media Controller API.

Returns
The entity's flags

◆ function()

libcamera::MediaEntity::function ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the entity's main function.

Media entity functions are expressed using the MEDIA_ENT_F_* macros defined by the Media Controller API.

Returns
The entity's function

◆ getPadById()

const MediaPad * libcamera::MediaEntity::getPadById ( unsigned int  id) const

Get a pad in this entity by its object id.

Parameters
[in]idThe pad id
Returns
The pad identified by id, or nullptr if no such pad exist

◆ getPadByIndex()

const MediaPad * libcamera::MediaEntity::getPadByIndex ( unsigned int  index) const

Get a pad in this entity by its index.

Parameters
[in]indexThe 0-based pad index
Returns
The pad identified by index, or nullptr if no such pad exist

◆ name()

libcamera::MediaEntity::name ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the entity name.

Returns
The entity name

◆ pads()

libcamera::MediaEntity::pads ( ) const
inline

Retrieve all pads of the entity.

Returns
The list of the entity's pads

◆ setDeviceNode()

int libcamera::MediaEntity::setDeviceNode ( const std::string &  deviceNode)

Set the path to the device node for the associated interface.

Parameters
[in]deviceNodeThe interface device node path associated with this entity
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code otherwise

◆ type()

libcamera::MediaEntity::type ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the entity's type.

The entity type identifies the type of interface exposed to userspace.

Returns
The entity's type
