+ <para>To query the cropping rectangle size and position
+applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a
+<structname>v4l2_crop</structname> structure to the respective buffer
+(stream) type and call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_CROP</constant> ioctl
+with a pointer to this structure. The driver fills the rest of the
+structure or returns the &EINVAL; if cropping is not supported.</para>
+
+ <para>To change the cropping rectangle applications initialize the
+<structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-rect; substructure named
+<structfield>c</structfield> of a v4l2_crop structure and call the
+<constant>VIDIOC_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
+structure.</para>
+
+ <para>The driver first adjusts the requested dimensions against
+hardware limits, &ie; the bounds given by the capture/output window,
+and it rounds to the closest possible values of horizontal and
+vertical offset, width and height. In particular the driver must round
+the vertical offset of the cropping rectangle to frame lines modulo
+two, such that the field order cannot be confused.</para>
+
+ <para>Second the driver adjusts the image size (the opposite
+rectangle of the scaling process, source or target depending on the
+data direction) to the closest size possible while maintaining the
+current horizontal and vertical scaling factor.</para>
+
+ <para>Finally the driver programs the hardware with the actual
+cropping and image parameters. <constant>VIDIOC_S_CROP</constant> is a
+write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual parameters. To query
+them applications must call <constant>VIDIOC_G_CROP</constant> and
+&VIDIOC-G-FMT;. When the parameters are unsuitable the application may
+modify the cropping or image parameters and repeat the cycle until
+satisfactory parameters have been negotiated.</para>
+
+ <para>When cropping is not supported then no parameters are
+changed and <constant>VIDIOC_S_CROP</constant> returns the
+&EINVAL;.</para>
