+
+********************
+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.
