<title>Description</title>
<para>To find out which data services are supported by a sliced
VBI capture or output device, applications initialize the
<structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-sliced-vbi-cap;,
clear the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP</constant> ioctl. The
driver fills in the remaining fields or returns an &EINVAL; if the
sliced VBI API is unsupported or <structfield>type</structfield>
is invalid.</para>
<para>Note the <structfield>type</structfield> field was added,
and the ioctl changed from read-only to write-read, in Linux 2.6.19.</para>
