<section id="v4l2-selections-common">

  <title>Common selection definitions</title>

  <para>While the <link linkend="selection-api">V4L2 selection
  API</link> and <link linkend="v4l2-subdev-selections">V4L2 subdev
  selection APIs</link> are very similar, there's one fundamental
  difference between the two. On sub-device API, the selection
  rectangle refers to the media bus format, and is bound to a
  sub-device's pad. On the V4L2 interface the selection rectangles
  refer to the in-memory pixel format.</para>

  <para>This section defines the common definitions of the
  selection interfaces on the two APIs.</para>

  <section id="v4l2-selection-targets">

    <title>Selection targets</title>

    <para>The precise meaning of the selection targets may be
    dependent on which of the two interfaces they are used.</para>
