ioctl MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS
**************************
Name
====
MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS - Enumerate all pads and links for a given entity
Synopsis
========
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct media_links_enum *argp )
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
``request``
MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS
``argp``
Description
===========
To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set the
entity field of a struct :ref:`media_links_enum <media-links-enum>`
structure and initialize the struct
:ref:`media_pad_desc <media-pad-desc>` and struct
:ref:`media_link_desc <media-link-desc>` structure arrays pointed by
the ``pads`` and ``links`` fields. They then call the
MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
If the ``pads`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``pads`` array
with information about the entity's pads. The array must have enough
room to store all the entity's pads. The number of pads can be retrieved
with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
If the ``links`` field is not NULL, the driver fills the ``links`` array
with information about the entity's outbound links. The array must have
enough room to store all the entity's outbound links. The number of
outbound links can be retrieved with :ref:`MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES`.
Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
returned during the enumeration process.

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.
EINVAL
The struct :ref:`media_links_enum <media-links-enum>` ``id``
references a non-existing entity.
