Arguments

|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <frontend_f_open>`.

Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
All DVB frontend devices support the ``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.
