Name
====
VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT - Enumerate video outputs
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT, struct v4l2_output *argp)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
``argp``
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_output`.
Description
===========
To query the attributes of a video outputs applications initialize the
``index`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` and call
the :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMOUTPUT` with a pointer to this structure.
Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code
when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all outputs applications
shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns
``EINVAL``.

* - __u32
- ``index``
- Identifies the output, set by the application.
* - __u8
- ``name``\ [32]
- Name of the video output, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
example: "Vout". This information is intended for the user,
preferably the connector label on the device itself.
* - __u32
- ``type``
- Type of the output, see :ref:`output-type`.
* - __u32
- ``audioset``
- Drivers can enumerate up to 32 video and audio outputs. This field
shows which audio outputs were selectable as the current output if
this was the currently selected video output. It is a bit mask.
The LSB corresponds to audio output 0, the MSB to output 31. Any
number of bits can be set, or none.
When the driver does not enumerate audio outputs no bits must be

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.
