+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
+The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.
+
+Drivers report their current routing tables using the
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
+with the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` ioctl, by adding or removing routes and
+setting or clearing flags of the ``flags`` field of a
+struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.
+
+All stream configurations are reset when ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING`` is called. This
+means that the userspace mut reconfigure all streams after calling the ioctl
+with e.g. ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT``.
+
+A special case for routing are routes marked with
+``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_SOURCE`` flag. These routes are used to describe
+source endpoints on sensors and the sink fields are unused.
+
+When inspecting routes through ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` and the application
+provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
+the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
+value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
+for all the route entries and call ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` again.

+
+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.
+
+ENOSPC
+ The number of provided route entries is less than the available ones.
+
+EINVAL
+ The sink or source pad identifiers reference a non-existing pad, or reference
+ pads of different types (ie. the sink_pad identifiers refers to a source pad)
+ or the sink or source stream identifiers reference a non-existing stream on
+ the sink or source pad.
