51    <para>To query the attributes of a video standard,
52especially a custom (driver defined) one, applications initialize the
53<structfield>index</structfield> field of &v4l2-standard; and call the
54<constant>VIDIOC_ENUMSTD</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
55structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
56&EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all standards
57applications shall begin  at index zero, incrementing by one until the
58driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>. Drivers may enumerate a
59different set of standards after switching the video input or
60output.<footnote>
61	<para>The supported standards may overlap and we need an
62unambiguous set to find the current standard returned by
63<constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant>.</para>
