## Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _CameraAbilitiesList CameraAbilitiesList

List of supported camera models including their abilities.

The internals of this list are hidden - use the access functions.

## Enumeration Type Documentation

enum CameraDriverStatus

Current implementation status of the camera driver.

Enumerator
GP_DRIVER_STATUS_PRODUCTION | Driver is production ready.
GP_DRIVER_STATUS_TESTING | Driver is beta quality.
GP_DRIVER_STATUS_EXPERIMENTAL | Driver is alpha quality and might even not work.
GP_DRIVER_STATUS_DEPRECATED | Driver is no longer recommended to use and will be removed.

enum CameraFileOperation

A bitmask of image related operations of the device.

Enumerator
GP_FILE_OPERATION_NONE | No special file operations, just download.
GP_FILE_OPERATION_DELETE | Deletion of files is possible.
GP_FILE_OPERATION_PREVIEW | Previewing viewfinder content is possible.
GP_FILE_OPERATION_RAW | Raw retrieval is possible (used by non-JPEG cameras)
GP_FILE_OPERATION_AUDIO | Audio retrieval is possible.
GP_FILE_OPERATION_EXIF | EXIF retrieval is possible.

A bitmask of filesystem related operations of the device.

Enumerator
GP_FOLDER_OPERATION_NONE | No special filesystem operation.
GP_FOLDER_OPERATION_DELETE_ALL | Deletion of all files on the device.
GP_FOLDER_OPERATION_PUT_FILE | Upload of files to the device possible.
GP_FOLDER_OPERATION_MAKE_DIR | Making directories on the device possible.
GP_FOLDER_OPERATION_REMOVE_DIR | Removing directories from the device possible.

enum CameraOperation

A bitmask of remote control related operations of the device. Some drivers might support additional dynamic capabilities (like the PTP driver).

Enumerator
GP_OPERATION_NONE | No remote control operation supported.
GP_OPERATION_CAPTURE_IMAGE | Capturing images supported.
GP_OPERATION_CAPTURE_VIDEO | Capturing videos supported.
GP_OPERATION_CAPTURE_AUDIO | Capturing audio supported.
GP_OPERATION_CAPTURE_PREVIEW | Capturing image previews supported.
GP_OPERATION_CONFIG | Camera and Driver configuration supported.

enum GphotoDeviceType

Type of the device represented. Currently we have Still Cameras and MTP Audio Players.

Enumerator
GP_DEVICE_STILL_CAMERA | Traditional still camera
GP_DEVICE_AUDIO_PLAYER | Audio player

## Function Documentation

int gp_abilities_list_append | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list,
|  | CameraAbilities | abilities
| ) |  |

Append the abilities to the list.

Parameters

  list | CameraAbilitiesList
  abilities | CameraAbilities

Returns
  a gphoto2 error code

This function is called by a camera library on camera_abilities() in order to inform libgphoto2 about a supported camera model.

References GP_OK, and CameraAbilities::model.

Referenced by camera_abilities().

int gp_abilities_list_count | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list | ) |

Count the entries in the supplied list.

Parameters

  list | a CameraAbilitiesList

Returns
  The number of entries or a gphoto2 error code

int gp_abilities_list_detect | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list,
|  | GPPortInfoList * | info_list,
|  | CameraList * | l,
|  | GPContext * | context
| ) |  |

Parameters

  list | a CameraAbilitiesList
  info_list | the GPPortInfoList of ports to use for detection
  l | a CameraList that contains the autodetected cameras after the call
  context | a GPContext

Tries to detect any camera connected to the computer using the supplied list of supported cameras and the supplied info_list of ports.

Returns
  a gphoto2 error code

int gp_abilities_list_free | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list | ) |

Free the given CameraAbilitiesList object.

Parameters

  list | a CameraAbilitiesList

Returns
  a gphoto2 error code

int gp_abilities_list_get_abilities | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list,
|  | int | index,
|  | CameraAbilities * | abilities
| ) |  |

Retrieve the camera abilities of entry with supplied index number.

Parameters

  list | a CameraAbilitiesList
  index | index
  abilities | pointer to CameraAbilities for returned data.

Returns
  a gphoto2 error code

Retrieves the camera abilities of entry with supplied index number. Typically, you would call gp_camera_set_abilities() afterwards in order to prepare the initialization of a camera.

int gp_abilities_list_load | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list,
|  | GPContext * | context
| ) |  |

Scans the system for camera drivers.

Parameters

  list | a CameraAbilitiesList
  context | a GPContext

Returns
  a gphoto2 error code

All supported camera models will then be added to the list.

int gp_abilities_list_lookup_model | ( | CameraAbilitiesList * | list,
|  | const char * | model
| ) |  |

Search the list for an entry of given model name.

Parameters
