<para>All media devices must support the <constant>MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO</constant>
|
|
ioctl. To query device information, applications call the ioctl with a
|
|
pointer to a &media-device-info;. The driver fills the structure and returns
|
|
the information to the application.
|
|
The ioctl never fails.</para>

fields can be used to distinguish between multiple instances of otherwise

identical hardware. The serial number takes precedence when provided and can

be assumed to be unique. If the serial number is an empty string, the

<structfield>bus_info</structfield> field can be used instead. The

|
<structfield>bus_info</structfield> field is guaranteed to be unique, but

can vary across reboots or device unplug/replug.</para>
