Description Eugen Dedu 2009-07-17 14:12:21 UTC 
Hi,

I do not find a bugzilla for libxv, so sorry I post the bug here.

man XvQueryExtension shows:
Returned Values
       [Success]
               Returned if XvQueryExtension(3) completed successfully.

       [XvBadExtension]
               Returned if the Xv video extension is not available for the named display.

       [XvBadAlloc]
               Returned  if  XvQueryExtension(3)  failed  to  allocate  memory to process the request.

However, looking at the source code of XvQueryExtension (http://libxv.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.0.4/Xv_8c-source.html line 00107), XvBadAlloc is never returned by this function.

So please remove from the man page the following text:
       [XvBadAlloc]
               Returned  if  XvQueryExtension(3)  failed  to  allocate  memory to process the request.

Thanks,
Eugen
