| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| This system call opens a named video device (e.g. |
| /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0) for subsequent use. |
| |
| When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The |
| significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the |
| documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not |
| affect the semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in |
| blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) |
| using the F_SETFL command of the fcntl system call. This is a standard |
| system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl. Only one |
| user can open the Video Device in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to |
| open the device in this mode will fail, and an error-code will be |
| returned. If the Video Device is opened in O_RDONLY mode, the only |
| ioctl call that can be used is VIDEO_GET_STATUS. All other call will |
| return an error code. |
