All DVB frontend devices support the
FE_SET_PROPERTY and FE_GET_PROPERTY
ioctls. The supported properties and statistics depends on the delivery system
and on the device:
FE_SET_PROPERTY:
This ioctl is used to set one or more frontend properties.
This is the basic command to request the frontend to tune into some frequency and to start decoding the digital TV signal.
This call requires read/write access to the device.
At return, the values are updated to reflect the actual parameters used.
FE_GET_PROPERTY:
This ioctl is used to get properties and statistics from the frontend.
No properties are changed, and statistics aren't reset.
This call only requires read-only access to the device.
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 Generic Error Codes chapter.
