XvQueryEncodings(3) libXv Functions XvQueryEncodings(3)NAME
XvQueryEncodings - return list of encodings for an adaptor
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/Xvlib.h>
int XvQueryEncodings(Display *dpy, XvPortID port,
unsigned int *p_num_encodings,
XvEncodingInfo **pp_encoding_info);
ARGUMENTS
dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.
port Specifies the port whose adaptor is to be queried for its list of encodings.
p_num_encodings
A pointer to where the number of encodings supported by the adaptor is written.
pp_encoding_info
A pointer to where the list of returned encoding information is returned. XvEncodingInfo has the following structure:
typedef struct {
XvEncodingID encoding_id;
char *name;
unsigned long width;
unsigned long height;
XvRational rate;
unsigned long num_encodings;
} XvEncodingInfo;
encoding_id
Specifies the encoding-id of the encoding. The encoding-id is used to identify an encoding when a port's encoding attribute is
changed.
name A pointer to a formatted string that identifies the encoding. The string has the format "timing-signaltype". For example "ntsc-
composite".
width,height
The width and height, in pixels, of the decoded video image.
rate The field rate of the decoded video.
The XvRational structure is used to specify a fractional number. It has the following structure:
typedef struct {
int numerator;
int denominator;
} XvRational;
The numerator and denominator fields specify the appropriate parts of a fractional number.
DESCRIPTION XvQueryEncodings(3) returns encoding information about an adaptor. Each encoding is described by the XvEncodingInfo structure described
above. The encodings are identified by an encoding-id, which can be used to set or get the encoding attribute of a port.
RETURN VALUES
[Success]
Returned if XvQueryEncodings(3) completed successfully.
[XvBadExtension]
Returned if the Xv extension is unavailable.
[XvBadAlloc]
Returned if XvQueryEncodings(3) failed to allocate memory to process the request.
DIAGNOSTICS
[XvBadPort]
Generated if the requested port does not exist.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin

9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.
I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

I don't have a CD-ROM by that name and a web search for that... (21 Replies)
Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
