- <para>These ioctls allow the caller to get or set multiple
-controls atomically. Control IDs are grouped into control classes (see
-<xref linkend="ctrl-class" />) and all controls in the control array
-must belong to the same control class.</para>
-
- <para>Applications must always fill in the
-<structfield>count</structfield>,
-<structfield>ctrl_class</structfield>,
-<structfield>controls</structfield> and
-<structfield>reserved</structfield> fields of &v4l2-ext-controls;, and
-initialize the &v4l2-ext-control; array pointed to by the
-<structfield>controls</structfield> fields.</para>
-
- <para>To get the current value of a set of controls applications
-initialize the <structfield>id</structfield>,
-<structfield>size</structfield> and <structfield>reserved2</structfield> fields
-of each &v4l2-ext-control; and call the
-<constant>VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS</constant> ioctl. String controls controls
-must also set the <structfield>string</structfield> field.</para>
-
- <para>If the <structfield>size</structfield> is too small to
-receive the control result (only relevant for pointer-type controls
-like strings), then the driver will set <structfield>size</structfield>
-to a valid value and return an &ENOSPC;. You should re-allocate the
-string memory to this new size and try again. It is possible that the
-same issue occurs again if the string has grown in the meantime. It is
-recommended to call &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; first and use
-<structfield>maximum</structfield>+1 as the new <structfield>size</structfield>
-value. It is guaranteed that that is sufficient memory.
-</para>
-
- <para>To change the value of a set of controls applications
-initialize the <structfield>id</structfield>, <structfield>size</structfield>,
-<structfield>reserved2</structfield> and
-<structfield>value/string</structfield> fields of each &v4l2-ext-control; and
-call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS</constant> ioctl. The controls
-will only be set if <emphasis>all</emphasis> control values are
-valid.</para>
-
- <para>To check if a set of controls have correct values applications
-initialize the <structfield>id</structfield>, <structfield>size</structfield>,
-<structfield>reserved2</structfield> and
-<structfield>value/string</structfield> fields of each &v4l2-ext-control; and
-call the <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS</constant> ioctl. It is up to
-the driver whether wrong values are automatically adjusted to a valid
-value or if an error is returned.</para>
-
- <para>When the <structfield>id</structfield> or
-<structfield>ctrl_class</structfield> is invalid drivers return an
-&EINVAL;. When the value is out of bounds drivers can choose to take
-the closest valid value or return an &ERANGE;, whatever seems more
-appropriate. In the first case the new value is set in
-&v4l2-ext-control;.</para>
-
- <para>The driver will only set/get these controls if all control
-values are correct. This prevents the situation where only some of the
-controls were set/get. Only low-level errors (&eg; a failed i2c
-command) can still cause this situation.</para>

- <entry>The total size in bytes of the payload of this

-that this value is less than is required to store
-the payload result, then it is set to a value large enough to store the
-payload result and ENOSPC is returned. Note that for string controls
-this <structfield>size</structfield> field should not be confused with the length of the string.
-This field refers to the size of the memory that contains the string.
-The actual <emphasis>length</emphasis> of the string may well be much smaller.
