| Part II - Digital TV API |
| ######################## |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**. |
| |
| It it was originally written to support the European digital TV |
| standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards. |
| |
| In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to |
| it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**. |
| |
| The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for: |
| |
| - the Digital TV API version |
| (e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5); |
| - digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc); |
| - digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``); |
| - the European DVB standard. |
| |
| **Version 5.10** |
