+VIDIOC_SUBDEV_QUERYCAP - Query sub-device capabilities
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_QUERYCAP, struct v4l2_subdev_capability *argp )
+    :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_QUERYCAP
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_capability`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+All V4L2 sub-devices support the ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_QUERYCAP`` ioctl. It is used to
+identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to obtain
+information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl takes a pointer to
+a struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_capability` which is filled by the driver. When
+the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl returns
+``ENOTTY`` error code.
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.5cm}|p{2.5cm}|p{13cm}|
+
+.. c:type:: v4l2_subdev_capability
+
+.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_subdev_capability
+    :header-rows:  0
+    :stub-columns: 0
+    :widths:       3 4 20
+
+    * - __u32
+      - ``version``
+      - Version number of the driver.
+
+	The version reported is provided by the V4L2 subsystem following the
+	kernel numbering scheme. However, it may not always return the same
+	version as the kernel if, for example, a stable or
+	distribution-modified kernel uses the V4L2 stack from a newer kernel.
+
+	The version number is formatted using the ``KERNEL_VERSION()``
+	macro:
+    * - :cspan:`2`
+
+	``#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))``
+
+	``__u32 version = KERNEL_VERSION(0, 8, 1);``
+
+	``printf ("Version: %u.%u.%u\\n",``
+
+	``(version >> 16) & 0xFF, (version >> 8) & 0xFF, version & 0xFF);``
+    * - __u32
+      - ``subdev_caps``
+      - Sub-device capabilities of the opened device, see
+	:ref:`subdevice-capabilities`.
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{6cm}|p{2.2cm}|p{8.8cm}|
+
+.. _subdevice-capabilities:
+
+.. cssclass:: longtable
+
+.. flat-table:: Sub-Device Capabilities Flags
+    :header-rows:  0
+    :stub-columns: 0
+    :widths:       3 1 4
+
+    * - V4L2_SUBDEV_CAP_RO_SUBDEV
+      - 0x00000001
+      - The sub-device device node is registered in read-only mode.
+	Access to the sub-device ioctls that modify the device state is
+	restricted. Refer to each individual subdevice ioctl documentation
+	for a description of which restrictions apply to a read-only sub-device.
+
+    * - V4L2_SUBDEV_CAP_RW_SUBDEV
+      - 0x00000002
+      - The sub-device device node is registered in read/write mode, all the
+	subdevice ioctls are accessible from userspace.
+
+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.
+
+ENOTTY
+    The device node is not a V4L2 sub-device.
