50	    <title>Description</title>
51	    <para>The typical usage of this ioctl is to call it twice.
52	    On the first call, the structure defined at &media-v2-topology; should
53	    be zeroed. At return, if no errors happen, this ioctl will return the
54	    <constant>topology_version</constant> and the total number of entities,
55	    interfaces, pads and links.</para>
56	    <para>Before the second call, the userspace should allocate arrays to
57	    store the graph elements that are desired, putting the pointers to them
58	    at the ptr_entities, ptr_interfaces, ptr_links and/or ptr_pads, keeping
59	    the other values untouched.</para>
60	    <para>If the <constant>topology_version</constant> remains the same, the
61	    ioctl should fill the desired arrays with the media graph elements.</para>
