:header-rows: 0

- .. row 1
- int fd
- File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().

- Equals VIDEO_COMMAND for this command.
- .. row 3
- struct video_command \*cmd
- Commands the decoder.
Description
-----------
This ioctl is obsolete. Do not use in new drivers. For V4L2 decoders
this ioctl has been replaced by the
:ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` ioctl.
This ioctl commands the decoder. The ``video_command`` struct is a
subset of the ``v4l2_decoder_cmd`` struct, so refer to the
:ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` documentation for
more information.

/* The structure must be zeroed before use by the application
This ensures it can be extended safely in the future. */
struct video_command {
__u32 cmd;
__u32 flags;
union {
struct {
__u64 pts;
} stop;
struct {
/* 0 or 1000 specifies normal speed,
1 specifies forward single stepping,
-1 specifies backward single stepping,
>1: playback at speed/1000 of the normal speed,
<-1: reverse playback at (-speed/1000) of the normal speed. */

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.
