62	    <para>To query and select the current video standard applications
63	use the <constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant> and <constant>VIDIOC_S_STD</constant> ioctls which take a pointer to a
64	&v4l2-std-id; type as argument. <constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant> can
65	return a single flag or a set of flags as in &v4l2-standard; field
66	<structfield>id</structfield>. The flags must be unambiguous such
67	that they appear in only one enumerated <structname>v4l2_standard</structname> structure.</para>
68	
69	    <para><constant>VIDIOC_S_STD</constant> accepts one or more
70	flags, being a write-only ioctl it does not return the actual new standard as
71	<constant>VIDIOC_G_STD</constant> does. When no flags are given or
72	the current input does not support the requested standard the driver
73	returns an &EINVAL;. When the standard set is ambiguous drivers may
74	return <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> or choose any of the requested
75	standards.</para>
