The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also, as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it clearer. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This ioctl is for DVB devices only. To get events from a V4L2 decoder
|
|
use the V4L2 :ref:`VIDIOC_DQEVENT` ioctl instead.
|
|
|
|
This ioctl call returns an event of type video_event if available. If
|
|
an event is not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is
|
|
in blocking or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails
|
|
immediately with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call
|
|
blocks until an event becomes available. The standard Linux poll()
|
|
and/or select() system calls can be used with the device file descriptor
|
|
to watch for new events. For select(), the file descriptor should be
|
|
included in the exceptfds argument, and for poll(), POLLPRI should be
|
|
specified as the wake-up condition. Read-only permissions are sufficient
|
|
for this ioctl call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
