| |
| |
| Synopsis |
| ======== |
| |
| .. c:function:: int ioctl(int fd, FE_SET_FRONTEND, struct dvb_frontend_parameters *p) |
| :name: FE_SET_FRONTEND |
| |
| |
| Arguments |
| ========= |
| |
| ``fd`` |
| File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-fe-open>`. |
| |
| ``p`` |
| Points to parameters for tuning operation. |
| |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| This ioctl call starts a tuning operation using specified parameters. |
| The result of this call will be successful if the parameters were valid |
| and the tuning could be initiated. The result of the tuning operation in |
| itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see |
| documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and |
| FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND` |
| operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the |
| previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one. This command |
| requires read/write access to the device. |
| |
| |
| Return Value |
| ============ |
| |
| On success 0 is returned. |
| |
| On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set |
| appropriately. |
