- ********************
- ioctl FE_READ_STATUS
- ********************
- Name
- ====
- FE_READ_STATUS - Returns status information about the front-end. This call only requires - read-only access to the device
- Synopsis
- ========
- .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, FE_READ_STATUS, unsigned int *status )
- :name: FE_READ_STATUS
- Arguments
- =========
- ``fd``
- File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <frontend_f_open>`.
- ``status``
- pointer to a bitmask integer filled with the values defined by enum
- :c:type:`fe_status`.
- Description
- ===========
- All Digital TV frontend devices support the ``FE_READ_STATUS`` ioctl. It is
- used to check about the locking status of the frontend after being
- tuned. The ioctl takes a pointer to an integer where the status will be
- written.
- .. note::
- The size of status is actually sizeof(enum fe_status), with
- varies according with the architecture. This needs to be fixed in the
- future.
- int fe_status
- =============
- The fe_status parameter is used to indicate the current state and/or
- state changes of the frontend hardware. It is produced using the enum
- :c:type:`fe_status` values on a bitmask
- Return Value
- ============
- On success 0 is returned.
- On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
- appropriately.
- Generic error codes are described at the
- :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
