DVBv5 Tools (not to be confused with the similarly named, but much older, DVB tools project) is a small set of command line utilities that was developed to be compliant with the newer features provided by version 5 of the DVB API.[1] The tools should also be backward compatible with the older v3 DVB API.
This DVB tool suite (confusingly enough!) resides in the v4l-utils git repository. Its components include:
- dvbv5-scan for frequency scanning
- dvbv5-zap for channel tuning
- dvb-fe-tool for testing a DVB device's frontend
- and dvb-format-convert for initial scan file format conversion
