+    :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_routing`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These ioctls are used to get and set the routing in a media entity.
+The routing configuration determines the flows of data inside an entity.
+
+Drivers report their current routing tables using the
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING`` ioctl and application may enable or disable routes
+with the VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING ioctl, by adding or removing routes and setting
+or clearing the ``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_ACTIVE`` flag of the  ``flags`` field of
+a struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_route`.
+
+A special case for routing are routes marked with
+``V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_SOURCE`` flag. These routes are used to describe
+source endpoints on sensors and the sink fields are unused.
+
+When inspecting routes through VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING and the application
+provided ``num_routes`` is not big enough to contain all the available routes
+the subdevice exposes, drivers return the ENOSPC error code and adjust the
+value of the ``num_routes`` field. Application should then reserve enough memory
+for all the route entries and call VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_ROUTING again.

+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.
+
+ENOSPC
+   The number of provided route entries is less than the available ones.
+
+EINVAL
+   The sink or source pad identifiers reference a non-existing pad, or reference
+   pads of different types (ie. the sink_pad identifiers refers to a source pad)
+   or the sink or source stream identifiers reference a non-existing stream on
+   the sink or source pad.
