.IP \fIdpy\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
Specifies the connection to the X server.
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIXvPortID\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
Specifies the port whose adaptor is to be queried for its
list of encodings.
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIp_num_encodings\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
A pointer to where the number of encodings supported
by the adaptor is written.
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIpp_encoding_info\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
A pointer to where the list of returned
encoding information is returned.
XvEncodingInfo has the following structure:
.EX
typedef struct {
XvEncodingID encoding_id;
char *name;
unsigned long width;
unsigned long height;
XvRational rate;
unsigned long num_encodings;
} XvEncodingInfo;
.EE
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIencoding_id\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
Specifies the encoding-id of the encoding. The encoding-id is used to
identify an encoding when a port's encoding attribute is changed.
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIname\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
A pointer to a formatted string that identifies the encoding. The string
has the format "\fItiming-signaltype\fR". For example "ntsc-composite".
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIwidth,height\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
The width and height, in pixels, of the decoded video image.
2008-05-24 07:46:47 -06:00
.IP \fIrate\fR 8
2006-11-25 11:01:46 -07:00
The field rate of the decoded video.
.PP
The XvRational structure is used to specify a fractional number.
It has the following structure:
.EX
typedef struct {
int numerator;
int denominator;
} XvRational;
.EE
The \fInumerator\fP and \fIdenominator\fP fields specify the
appropriate parts of a fractional number.

.SH Description
XvQueryEncodings(__libmansuffix__) returns encoding information about an adaptor. Each
encoding is described by the XvEncodingInfo structure described above. The
encodings are identified by an encoding-id, which can be used to set or get
the encoding attribute of a port.
.SH Returned Values
.IP [Success] 8
Returned if XvQueryEncodings(__libmansuffix__) completed successfully.
.IP [XvBadExtension] 8
Returned if the Xv extension is unavailable.
.IP [XvBadAlloc] 8
Returned if XvQueryEncodings(__libmansuffix__) failed to allocate memory to process
the request.
.SH Diagnostics
.IP [XvBadPort] 8
Generated if the requested port does not exist.
