Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
All DVB frontend devices support the ``FE_SET_PROPERTY`` and
|
|
``FE_GET_PROPERTY`` ioctls. The supported properties and statistics
|
|
depends on the delivery system and on the device:
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SET_PROPERTY:``
|
|
|
|
- This ioctl is used to set one or more frontend properties.
|
|
|
|
- This is the basic command to request the frontend to tune into
|
|
some frequency and to start decoding the digital TV signal.
|
|
|
|
- This call requires read/write access to the device.
|
|
|
|
- At return, the values are updated to reflect the actual parameters
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_GET_PROPERTY:``
|
|
|
|
- This ioctl is used to get properties and statistics from the
|
|
frontend.
|
|
|
|
- No properties are changed, and statistics aren't reset.
|
|
|
|
- This call only requires read-only access to the device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return Value
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
|
|
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
|
|
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
