ioctl MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY
**************************
Name
====
MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY - Enumerate the graph topology and graph element properties
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY
``int ioctl(int fd, MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY, struct media_v2_topology *argp)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c: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.

* - __u64
- ``topology_version``
- Version of the media graph topology. When the graph is created,
this field starts with zero. Every time a graph element is added
or removed, this field is incremented.
* - __u32
- ``num_entities``
- Number of entities in the graph
* - __u32
- ``reserved1``
- Applications and drivers shall set this to 0.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
