- Name
- ====
- FE_SET_FRONTEND
- 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.
