Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
All Digital TV frontend devices support the :ref:`FE_GET_INFO` ioctl. It is
|
|
used to identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to
|
|
obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
|
|
takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
|
|
When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
|
|
returns an error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
frontend capabilities
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Capabilities describe what a frontend can do. Some capabilities are
|
|
supported only on some specific frontend types.
|
|
|
|
The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return Value
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
On success 0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
|
|
appropriately.
